Summary:Digital archives exist within a complex global web of interests and agencies with ever-increasing - and often conflicting - demands placed on their limited resources. Issues with work identification confront them during acquisition, reconciliation, and de-duplication of assets obtained from multiple sources. Furthermore, they must accommodate manual workflows and the resulting process delays, volume constraints, and costs of error correction. A curated system of unique, global identification for audiovisual works, their derivative versions, and physical and digital manifestations as provided by the Entertainment Identifier Registry Association (EIDR) can directly address many of these issues and enable the provision of systems and services that address many more. We identify several use case examples, including a federated system for archive search and retrieval, the collection of off-air television broadcasts, and addressing intellectual property rights assertions.
