Abstract: In recent years many media organizations have expressed interest in migrating from the world of videotape and text based catalog systems designed to keep track of what exists on these videotapes. One organization has made the leap and is implementing a high-resolution video digital news archive. In 2001, CNN will begin operation of an entirely new library and archive system designed to eventually hold over 125,000 hours of news video collected since 1980. An essential element in this new system is the metadata, or data about the material stored in the archive. The requirements for the metadata model were collected over many months and careful attention has been paid to insuring a standards based data dictionary. This case study on the creation of the metadata model offers insight to any enterprise considering a similar undertaking.
