Terms That Apply to
Original Sound and Video Recordings Being Reformatted

Developed by ScreenSound Australia and Encoded in MAVIS Software

The Audio-Visual Prototyping Project has not officially embraced a thesaurus or a set of codes that pertain to recorded sound or video source items, although drafting is in progress. The following list of terms developed at ScreenSound Australia (Australia's National Screen and Sound Archive) has been useful in project planning. This list dates from 1998 and does not include ScreenSound's own updates. The codes pertain to the placement of terms in the MAVIS (Merged AudioVisual Information System) collection management database from Wizard Information Systems, a software package that has been adopted by ScreenSound, the Library of Congress Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division, and other institutions.
