The digitalisation of the global audiovisual sector calls for basic agreements in order for transactions
to take place in a way that is efficient, safe + satisfactory for all market players.
The IMZ + its member organisations, key market players in the music + dance film industry, respond to this global demand by defining a new set of standards within the framework of the development of Content.Agent that is bound to revolutionise the audiovisual industry.
IMZ Standards on Metadata + Copyright ensure compatibility between market players, strengthen industry cooperation
and ensure legal security in transactions with cutting-edge technology!
IMZ METADATA STANDARD
The audiovisual industry requires a metadata standard that is compatible with existing systems + includes information specific to music + dance films. The IMZ is making this a reality!
