Warm-up – Specialist event II: Presentation
With: Niklas Hütter (Deutsche Kinemathek)
The AVefi project has been developing a cross-institutional, web-based system using Persistent Identifiers (PID) to identify and link audiovisual works, their versions and data objects from diverse collections. It aims to standardize networks of scientific metadata, improving research infrastructures for film studies, digital humanities and cultural heritage. The system uses uniform film identifiers (EFI) as a central database, integrating metadata from various institutions in an automated, structured way to ensure long-term data availability. By supporting automatic synchronization and disambiguation, it complements existing identifier ecosystems (e.g., Filmportal, EIDR) and prioritizes educational, scientific, and short films. The two-year project is a collaboration between TIB, Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek, GWDG and the Filmmuseum Düsseldorf, focusing on modular development, metadata management and inclusive participation from smaller institutions.
