Broadcast WAVE Metadata - Approved (Version 1.0; September 15, 2009)
Document Background
The draft guideline on Broadcast WAVE Metadata submitted by the Audio-Visual Working group represents a minimal set of recommended embedded metadata for historical and cultural heritage digital audio reformatting. This is presented as an interim guideline. A new recommended guideline encompassing a richer metadata set in a more flexible format, with wider file format support, will be developed by the Working Group in the future. Note that the guideline is accompanied by two explanatory documents:
- Introductory discussion for the proposed audio metadata embedding guideline
- Consultant’s report on embedding options in digital audio files
