To digitise 654 hours of film and ca. 5.600 film-related documents on the theme of the First World War . To give access to the material through the European Film Gateway and Europeana . To build a virtual exhibition using selected objects digitised in EFG1914 Chapter 2 of this deliverable summarizes the relevant aspects of the EFG XML schema defined in the course of the EFG project. Chapter 3 introduces the metadata ingestion architecture in the different phases of ingestion, cleaning, editing and publishing, highlighting which parts have been refined or extended in EFG1914. Finally, Section 4 will then define the metadata schema modification policies to be undertaken in EFG1914, while Section 5 will be an ongoing section where such changes will be recorded in the months to come.Due to the development of a virtual exhibition (WP 7) the re-usage requests of metadata may change in EFG1914. Section 5 will cover the new requirements that are currently in development.
