SHULMISTER: Listen up, New Yorkers. You want believe that if you make it here you can
make it anywhere? How many of you have spent a summer in Birmingham?
AMBI: [Bells up in the clear for a moment]
[Something like: I went to Southside, a neighborhood with lots of restaurants and bars to get s
ome advice for y’all. It’s the only place to find people out on the street, especially in
the summer, because most people just stay inside and move from one air
conditioned zone to the next.]
MONTAGE ENDS: …. “I’m not buying it.”

12. We use PBCore to normalize and
consolidate metadata generated about a
single digital object’s disparate and
unconnected systems, in order to create a
more complete object record for the
purpose of digital preservation.
