+		<description>&lt;p&gt;It would be easier to locate the movie you want to watch in
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.archive.org/&quot;&gt;the Internet Archive&lt;/a&gt;, if the
+metadata about each movie was more complete and accurate.  In the
+archiving community, a well known saying state that good metadata is a
+love letter to the future.  The metadata in the Internet Archive could
+use a face lift for the future to love us back.  Here is a proposal
+for a small improvement that would make the metadata more useful
+today.  I&#39;ve been unable to find any document describing the various
+standard fields available when uploading videos to the archive, so
+this proposal is based on my best quess and searching through several
+of the existing movies.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I have a few use cases in mind.  First of all, I would like to be
+able to count the number of distinct movies in the Internet Archive,
+without duplicates.  I would further like to identify the IMDB title
+ID of the movies in the Internet Archive, to be able to look up a IMDB
+title ID and know if I can fetch the video from there and share it
+with my friends.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Second, I would like the Butter data provider for The Internet
+archive
+(&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/butterproviders/butter-provider-archive&quot;&gt;available
+from github&lt;/a&gt;), to list as many of the good movies as possible.  The
+plugin currently do a search in the archive with the following
+parameters:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+collection:moviesandfilms
+AND NOT collection:movie_trailers
+AND -mediatype:collection
+AND format:&quot;Archive BitTorrent&quot;
+AND year
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Most of the cool movies that fail to show up in Butter do so
+because the &#39;year&#39; field is missing.  The &#39;year&#39; field is populated by
+the year part from the &#39;date&#39; field, and should be when the movie was
+released (date or year).  Two such examples are
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/SidneyOlcottsBen-hur1905&quot;&gt;Ben Hur
+from 1905&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/Caminandes2GranDillama&quot;&gt;Caminandes
+2: Gran Dillama from 2013&lt;/a&gt;, where the year metadata field is
+missing.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+So, my proposal is simply, for every movie in The Internet Archive
+where an IMDB title ID exist, please fill in these metadata fields
+(note, they can be updated also long after the video was uploaded, but
+as far as I can tell, only by the uploader):
+
+&lt;dl&gt;
+
+&lt;dt&gt;mediatype&lt;/dt&gt;
+&lt;dd&gt;Should be &#39;movie&#39; for movies.&lt;/dd&gt;
+
+&lt;dt&gt;collection&lt;/dt&gt;
+&lt;dd&gt;Should contain &#39;moviesandfilms&#39;.&lt;/dd&gt;
+
+&lt;dt&gt;title&lt;/dt&gt;
+&lt;dd&gt;The title of the movie, without the publication year.&lt;/dd&gt;
+
+&lt;dt&gt;date&lt;/dt&gt;
+&lt;dd&gt;The data or year the movie was released.  This make the movie show
+up in Butter, as well as make it possible to know the age of the
+movie and is useful to figure out copyright status.&lt;/dd&gt;
+
+&lt;dt&gt;director&lt;/dt&gt;
+&lt;dd&gt;The director of the movie.  This make it easier to know if the
+correct movie is found in movie databases.&lt;/dd&gt;
+
+&lt;dt&gt;publisher&lt;/dt&gt;
+&lt;dd&gt;The production company making the movie.  Also useful for
+identifying the correct movie.&lt;/dd&gt;
+
+&lt;dt&gt;links&lt;/dt&gt;
+
+&lt;dd&gt;Add a link to the IMDB title page, for example like this: &amp;lt;a
+href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028496/&quot;&amp;gt;Movie in
+IMDB&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.  This make it easier to find duplicates and allow for
+counting of number of unique movies in the Archive.  Other external
+references, like to TMDB, could be added like this too.&lt;/dd&gt;
+
+&lt;/dl&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I did consider proposing a Custom field for the IMDB title ID (for
+example &#39;imdb_title_url&#39;, &#39;imdb_code&#39; or simply &#39;imdb&#39;, but suspect it
+will be easier to simply place it in the links free text field.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I created
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/public-domain-free-imdb&quot;&gt;a
+list of IMDB title IDs for several thousand movies in the Internet
+Archive&lt;/a&gt;, but I also got a list of several thousand movies without
+such IMDB title ID (and quite a few duplicates).  It would be great if
+this data set could be integrated into the Internet Archive metadata
+to be available for everyone in the future, but with the current
+policy of leaving metadata editing to the uploaders, it will take a
+while before this happen.  If you have uploaded movies into the
+Internet Archive, you can help.  Please consider following my proposal
+above for your movies, to ensure that movie is properly
+counted. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The list is mostly generated using wikidata, which based on
+Wikipedia articles make it possible to link between IMDB and movies in
+the Internet Archive.  But there are lots of movies without a
+Wikipedia article, and some movies where only a collection page exist
+(like for &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caminandes&quot;&gt;the
+Caminandes example above&lt;/a&gt;, where there are three movies but only
+one Wikidata entry).&lt;/p&gt;

-		<description>&lt;p&gt;For noen dager siden publiserte Jon Wessel-Aas en bloggpost om
-«&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uhuru.biz/?p=1821&quot;&gt;Konklusjonen om datalagring som
-EU-kommisjonen ikke ville at vi skulle få se&lt;/a&gt;».  Det er en
-interessant gjennomgang av EU-domstolens syn på snurpenotovervåkning
-av befolkningen, som er klar på at det er i strid med
-EU-lovgivingen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Valgkampen går for fullt i Norge, og om noen få dager er siste
-frist for å avgi stemme.  En ting er sikkert, Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet
-får ikke min stemme
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Datalagringsdirektivet_gj_r_at_Oslo_H_yre_og_Arbeiderparti_ikke_f_r_min_stemme_i__r.html&quot;&gt;denne
-gangen heller&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg har ikke glemt at de tvang igjennom loven som
-skulle pålegge alle data- og teletjenesteleverandører å overvåke alle
-sine kunder.  En lov som er vedtatt, og aldri opphevet igjen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det er tydelig fra diskusjonen rundt grenseløs digital overvåkning
-(eller &quot;Digital Grenseforsvar&quot; som det kalles i Orvellisk nytale) at
-hverken Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet har noen prinsipielle sperrer mot å
-overvåke hele befolkningen, og diskusjonen så langt tyder på at flere
-av de andre partiene heller ikke har det. Mange av
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://data.holderdeord.no/votes/1301946411e&quot;&gt;de som stemte
-for Datalagringsdirektivet i Stortinget&lt;/a&gt; (64 fra Arbeiderpartiet,
-25 fra Høyre) er fortsatt aktive og argumenterer fortsatt for å radere
-vekk mer av innbyggernes privatsfære.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;NÃ¥r myndighetene demonstrerer sin mistillit til folket, tror jeg
-folket selv bør legge litt innsats i å verne sitt privatliv, ved å ta
-i bruk ende-til-ende-kryptert kommunikasjon med sine kjente og kjære,
-og begrense hvor mye privat informasjon som deles med uvedkommende.
-Det er jo ingenting som tyder på at myndighetene kommer til å være vår
-privatsfære.
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_talk_with_your_loved_ones_in_private.html&quot;&gt;Det
-er mange muligheter&lt;/a&gt;.  Selv har jeg litt sans for
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://ring.cx/&quot;&gt;Ring&lt;/a&gt;, som er basert på p2p-teknologi
-uten sentral kontroll, er fri programvare, og støtter meldinger, tale
-og video.  Systemet er tilgjengelig ut av boksen fra
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ring&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt; og
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ring&quot;&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt;, og det
-finnes pakker for Android, MacOSX og Windows.  Foreløpig er det få
-brukere med Ring, slik at jeg også bruker
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://signal.org/&quot;&gt;Signal&lt;/a&gt; som nettleserutvidelse.&lt;/p&gt;
