The Mediabase is one suite of sites included in SHANTI's larger Mandala Framework. The sites in the Mediabase are used for the creation and management of audio-video collections. One of the key differences between the UVa Mediabase and the other available Kaltura-based systems in use at UVa (UVaCollab Media Gallery and Kaltura Management Console) is the ability to easily 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. Moreover, 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.
