Abstract
The EBU, NRK and VRT are three European media companies. The EBU is the largest association of broadcasters. The NRK and VRT are the national public broadcasters in Norway and in Belgium (Flemish). The EBU, NRK and VRT are known in the media community for striving innovation. They have developed recognised expertise in engineering solutions and standards around the management of information for the audiovisual industry in a multi-lingual environment. They promote the use of semantic technologies for the production and distribution of content across a variety of media and platforms. In this context, Wikipedia, DBpedia, automatic metadata extraction and other tools are important information sources. This is not an academic paper but a report on the operational use of such information (access, usability, long term availability of information, editorial quality) and needs by the media industry. For broadcasters, minimizing cost and complexity is of the essence!
