PBCore Cataloging Tool
The PBCore Cataloging Tool is designed to support the creation, editing, and export of moving image-related inventory metadata as PBCore XML records. With a user-friendly data entry interface and full support of all PBCore elements and attributes, the tool makes creating valid PBCore XML documents as easy as filling out a spreadsheet. As of the latest version in 2023, the PBCore Cataloging Tool can be used in English or Spanish.
The PBCore Cataloging Tool is designed to be used in conjunction with the PBCore Spreadsheet Templates, and can import and export metadata in the full PBCore Spreadsheet Template format.*
