Currently, the focus of filmstandards.org is on two European standards, EN 15744:2008 and the forthcoming EN 15907.

EN 15744 has been published and is available from all European national standards bodies. It contains a brief list of elements considered useful for the unambiguous identification of cinematographic works, not unlike the fifteen elements defined in the Dublin Core Element Set (ISO 15836:2003), but with partly different concepts.

EN 15907 has reached the final draft stage and is now undergoing the formal vote process ending in 2010. This is a more comprehensive element set intended to support interoperability between existing and future collections of metadata about cinematographic works. The latest draft is available via the download link below.
