British Broadcasting Corporation format for media assets

June 17, 2005. "The BBC has defined a Standard Media Exchange Framework (SMEFTM) to support and enable media asset management ("MAM") as an end-to-end process across its business areas, from commissioning to delivery to the home. The SMEF Data Model (SMEF-DM) provides a set of definitions for the information required in production, distribution and management of media assets, currently expressed as a data dictionary and set of Entity Relationship Diagrams." http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/smef/
