Data Authenticity
Authenticated Data Specification
What is it?
EIDR's Role
Who benefits?
The Authenticated Data Specification proposes the creation of a platform, which will give all content creators the ability to publish and digitally sign the metadata they produce. Consumers of the metadata will have the ability to verify the source, receive updates as they occur. Data aggregators can utilize the approved metadata on their platforms knowing that it was supplied by the content creator.
EIDR provides the disambiguated, unique, and persistent identifier for the Authenticated Data Specification, acting as the Rosetta Stone for the platform. Each record carries the specific EIDR ID (title, edit, or manifestation), which is universal, providing consistency to data aggregators, content distributors, and consumers.

Rapid and cost-effective localization is key to entertainment companies delivering their content to market and bringing international content to the established English-language marketplace. However, in many cases, the localization process is neither ‘rapid’, nor ‘cost-effective.’ The CLB outlines a process and technology which removes bottlenecks and improves supply chain interoperability.

EIDR provides the standard for identifying the assets that are created, localized, and distributed. EIDR is the common language of the workflow.
This method of automation can be used in various other workflows as well.

EIDR's Role
Who benefits?
PBS is a membership organization that, in partnership with its member stations, serves the American public with programming and services of the highest quality, using media to educate, inspire, entertain and express a diversity of perspectives. PBS is a private, nonprofit corporation, founded in 1969, whose members are America’s public TV stations — noncommercial, educational licensees that operate more than 330 PBS member stations and serve all 50 states, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa.
PBS uses EIDR IDs and its data model to normalize the collection of catalog metadata. PBS uses EIDR’s required fields as a baseline to collect required metadata for licensed content. Because episodic titles are known closer to a show’s release, EIDRs are assigned and stored in PBS’s rights management system to identify assets correctly. Additionally, as a distributor, PBS delivers fully packaged content to its national Member Stations. To facilitate this process, an EIDR Manifestation ID is assigned and accompanies each media file to local station servers to enable identification and disambiguation.
