Audio-Video lets you make and manage audio and video files within the Mandala Suite. You can upload an unlimited number of items.
Audio-Video's metadata capabilities makes it particularly useful for scholars. Audiovisual information fields follow the PBCore metadata schema, a widely-used metadata standard for broadcasting. In addition, Mandala's Knowledge Maps let scholars use labels to connect related media items.
Once you've added your files, you can find them with the search function. Tracking your workflow for files can help you make collaborative archive projects.

The Mediabase is one suite of sites in SHANTI's larger Mandala Framework. The sites in the Mediabase are used for the creation and management of audio-video collections. An important unique characteristic of the Mediabase is its ability to allow scholars to attach rich metadata to media items. Using a combination of the PB Core metadata schema for video and SHANTI Knowledge Maps, the UVa Mediabase allows scholars to fully customize important metadata subject fields while also taking advantage of the most widely used metadata standard for basic and technical information. Data entry is simplified through basic and advanced entry forms to accommodate both light and heavy metadata needs. Once uploaded and cataloged, faceted browsing searching is made possible within the system through the Solr search platform.
