ACCESS TO DISCOVERY
Providing access to audiovisual archives is a huge
challenge
Audience demands are changing as rapidly as consumer
technologies
New tools to meet and anticipate these expectations need
to be developed
The search experience must not just return accurate
results but suggest new pathways of investigation
RTÉ Archives is collaborating with two leading research
partners in Ireland to investigate how these tools can be
developed in RTÉ.

4. GOAL OF THE COLLABORATION
To deliver a Rich Content Discovery prototype across all the RTÉ
Archives, enabling wider re-use of RTÉ Archive audiovisual material
Specifically, to enhance digital workflows in order to present a pilot
content discovery web service that sits on top of RTÉ’s current
databases, allowing searches across the different archives

5. APPROACH
1. Provide a selection of metadata and essence to DERI / DRI for test
and experimentation purposes
2. Create new metadata models along semantic web principles
3. Build a test platform of sufficient robustness to prove the concept
of the new model
