The presentation deals with the problems of the data transfer being collected for research purposes in CatDV audiovisual assets management tool and the being transferred for the public access on the open born-digital collections platform Oral History Digital (OH.d)

The presentation treats the following questions: What kind of meta data (personal, technical, etc.) and for how long should it be collected, stored and disclosed in a born-digital interview archive? How the meta data should be collected, extracted and analysed within an Oral History research project and beyond? Is the transcription always needed or an index would be sufficient?

Expert interview to develop future scenarios for what a cultural heritage digital infrastructure at a national or transnational level could look like.
