PB Core Metadata


Nope, PB Core isn't Peanut Butter Core, rather Public Broadcasting Core, metadata for public radio and television.
Yes, you can now download our starter kit including a free, fully functional FileMaker database for cataloging your content, and it?s custom-integrated with PBCore, the standard metadata dictionary worked out for you by public broadcasters!
