This presentation discusses the National Archives of Singapore’s experience using ICA’s new archival description standard, Records-in-Contexts (RiC) to integrate archival descriptions for audio-visual (AV) and paper-based archives. With a specific focus on broadcast and sound archives, the presentation will assess how RiC addresses perennial integration and data modelling challenges for AV resources, evaluate how other AV-centric ontologies may be used to complement and/or extend RiC, and propose design patterns that may be referenced by other institutions seeking to use RiC for archival description of AV materials.
