Broadcastrelated

Broadcastrelated is a broad, nonstandard label used in information management, metadata schemas, and digital asset repositories to categorize materials associated with broadcast media. It is not a formal discipline, but a descriptive term that helps distinguish assets connected to broadcasting from other media such as print, online journalism, or user-generated content.

In practice, broadcastrelated items may be tagged or indexed with this keyword to support search, retrieval, and rights management. Typical materials include production notes, scripts, program rundowns, technical specifications, equipment manuals, cue sheets, distribution schedules, and archival footage. In library and archive contexts, broadcastrelated metadata can include program titles, air dates, channel, location, and rights information, facilitating cataloging and controlled access.

Technologies and standards relevant to broadcastrelated content span traditional broadcast and modern IP-based delivery. This includes broadcasting standards such as ATSC, DVB, and DVB-T/S, as well as codecs (MPEG-2/4, H.264/HEVC) and streaming protocols (HLS, DASH). The term also overlaps with live production, master control room operations, playout automation, and digital rights management. Because broadcast-related content crosses domains, the exact meaning of the label varies by organization and metadata schema.
