VSN and RTVE advance in metadata management automation with Artificial Intelligence

RTVE and VSN illustrate in this case study the different phases of the project, its workflows, and how this technology allows an increase of efficiency in the catalog of RTVE’s archive. With that goal in mind, RTVE put out to public tender a project to apply metadata management automation using Artificial Intelligence in RTVE to 11,000 hours of content from its Archive, including material produced by TVE in the 60s and 70s. 

Thanks to the integration with the main Artificial Intelligence engines of the market and its adaptation to allow a cloud service, VSNExplorer MAM was the perfect system for the project. VSN obtained the best rating combining the technical and economic aspects and was finally awarded the project. 

During the process, the files from RTVE Archive are ingested in VSNExplorer MAM. The system creates a previous asset with the media file and an XML file with information about the content provided by the network. Once the content is in the system, the AI engine starts with metadata management automation. When the process is over, all the information extracted is displayed in a single and centralized interface. 

All this information is available for quality control on the VSNExplorer MAM web-based interface. Therefore, users can review, check and edit the results to adjust them to the correct catalog parameters in a simple and fast way.

“For the RTVE Documentary Archive, this project does not only give access to thousands of hours of great content. It is also a unique opportunity to influence the development of technologies that will be common in the future. In addition, we are pioneers in the implementation of this technology in the daily workflow of the Archive”, said Virginia Bazán Gil, Project Manager of the RTVE Documentary Archive.

“RTVE is a reference of the Broadcast & Media industry for its constant search of innovative solutions. At VSN, we are delighted to have, once again, the trust of a leading organization like RTVE”, said Antonio Brotons, Project Manager of VSN. “This project shows all that the AI integrated into a MAM system can provide to a content catalog in large documentary archives”.
