Yes it is.

IDA centralizes and provides authoritative information on audiovisual works and their right owners.

No limit is set. It’s recommended though to have a general access for consulting and just a few profiles with edit rights.

Technical

See detailed procedure here.

Caracter ‘&’ causes issue with XML. In your xml file to interact with IDA, replace the caracter ‘&’ by the ISO code ‘&amps;’

Example:

Title =”APE&BJORN” becomes: Title =”APE&amps;BJORN”

On one side, you have to consider the authorization applied on the fields. Authorizations on fields depends on who created the work and/or enriched the field. Some fields are reserved to the CMO that created the work.

On the other side, fields can be updated using GUpdate or update ‘Field by field” but the authorizations on fields remain the same, no matter how you choose to update it

“Ownership” of fields can be transfered from one society to another when it’s about the distribution scheme.

Fields about the works itself are generally not reserved (meaning any CMO can update it).

Also, many fields are mandatory, and conditions are depending on the type of works. This can also cause many errors, if you re update includes the deletion of a mandatory field for instance.

Please see our tutorial to know better about updating.

Is there any limitations to consider at using FTP services: size of file ? number of works in a file ? number of files ?

It depends more of the size of the xml import file. It’s recommended not to exceed the size of 100 megabytes (unzipped) for each single file imported. (20 000 – 30 000 works).

IDA features different ways to exchange data:

  • Import/Export jobs based on flat XML or CSV files
  • Interact with IDA web services methods

Your local database priorily has to comply with IDA standards and rules. IDA membership comes with a special training to assist your organization in deploying the system.
