The PrestoSpace Integrated Project was launched in 2004 under the Information Society Technologies priority of the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Community (IST FP6 507336). Several European broadcasters and audiovisual archive owners, universities and research centres and industry representatives are part of the PrestoSpace consortium. The project website is www.prestospace.org. The objective of the project is to provide technical devices and systems for digital preservation of all types of audio-visual collections, by building up preservation factories providing affordable digitisation, management and distribution services. This demonstration concerns the Metadata Access and Delivery subsystem of the PrestoSpace infrastructure, which aims at collecting descriptive metadata from the numerical analysis of audiovisual material, and providing a search and retrieve interface for archivists to this information [9]. The former task is performed by the Documentation Platform. The latter task is the function of the Publication Platform, a Web application collecting the extracted metadata in an organised and ergonomic way, for a fast and efficient browsing of the documented material. The Publication Platform is the object of the proposed demonstration.
