Standardisierung von Filmdaten auf filmportal.de. Interview mit David Kleingers

Die Onlineplattform filmportal.de ist die zentrale öffentliche Ressource zum deutschen Filmerbe und wird vom DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum betrieben (DFF) – David Kleingers war von Beginn an ihrer Entwicklung beteiligt. In diesem Interview gibt er einen umfassenden Einblick in die Entwicklung und Funktionsweise der Plattform und anderen Informationssystemen des DFF. Er erläutert die Standardisierung von Filmdaten auf Basis des Standards EN 15907, der für den Datenaustausch zwischen Filmarchiven entwickelt wurde. Außerdem betont Kleingers die Bedeutung historischer Quellen für die nachvollziehbare Dokumentation des Filmerbes und weist auf Lücken in der Digitalisierung hin. Dabei verweist er auf Herausforderungen im Zusammenhang mit geschlechtsspezifischen Kategorisierungen von Berufen und betont die Notwendigkeit einer inklusiveren Darstellung der Daten. Das Interview ist Teil einer fortlaufenden Interviewreihe zu Datenpraktiken, Datenprovenienz und Kategorisierungen in der Filmgeschichte, die von der BMFTR-Forschungsgruppe „Ästhetiken des Zugangs. Datenvisualisierungen in der digitalen Filmgeschichtsschreibung am Beispiel der Forschung zu Frauen im Frühen Kino“ (DAVIF) (2021–2025) initiiert wurde. Ziel der Forschungsgruppe ist es, Datenvisualisierungen zu erstellen, um die Tätigkeiten von Frauen in der Filmgeschichte sichtbarer zu machen. Das DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum (DFF) gehört neben dem Women Film Pioneers Project (WFPP) zu den zentralen Kooperationspartner*innen des Projekts, die ihre Forschungsdaten für die Datenvisualisierungen zur Verfügung gestellt haben.

On the Origins, the Community, and the Database of the Women Film Pioneers Project. Interview with Kate Saccone

In this interview, Kate Saccone, project manager of the Women Film Pioneers Project (WFPP) since 2013, reflects on the origins, the community, and the database of the WFPP. She highlights the role of the WFPP as a digital platform for research and publication. The interview discusses the handling of gaps, ambiguities, and absences in the data, accessibility, licensing, and long-term preservation of digital content, particularly with regard to Creative Commons licenses and technical infrastructure. Saccone addresses the WFPP as a social networking space for feminist film historians and outlines future developments for the project. The interview is part of an interview series on data practices, provenance, and categorizations in film history initiated by the research group „Aesthetics of Access. Visualizing Research Data on Women in Film History“ (DAVIF) (2021–2025), funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR). The goal of the research group is to explore data visualizations in order to tell different stories differently. The WFPP is one of the film historiographical project partners, in addition to the DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum (DFF), both of whom have provided their research data for data visualizations.

'Chief author Rep. Steve Elkins, DFL-Bloomington, said it’s time for more oversight on the troves of personal information consumers provide to businesses, knowingly or not. That includes data harvested by seemingly free applications like weather apps, which may sell the information to turn a profit. …

'“If you got turned down for an apartment or for a favorable insurance rate or a job and the company is just telling you, ‘Sorry I can’t tell you that’ — now, they have a responsibility to tell you,“ he said.'
