ERN samples

ERN samples

The ERN sample pack contains a sample in accordance with one of the ERN Release Profiles for ERN 4.2 and ERN 4.3. They are:

  • Audio Album

  • Video Album

  • Mixed Media Bundle

  • Simple Audio Single

  • Simple Video Single

  • Ringtone

  • Longform Musical Work Video

  • DJ Mix

  • In addition there are names for the two variants defined in the ERN Release Profiles standard:

    • Boxed Set Variant

    • Classical Variant

Note that all most types of releases can have different “depths” of ResourceGroups, depending on the release set-up. The audio and video samples show “simple albums” whereas the mixed media bundle shows an album containing multipole carriers. Such multi-level ResourceGroups are, of course also possible for audio-only or video-only releases.

Resource Groups

When releases are described using different types of release profiles most of them will contain different numbers of nested ResourceGroups, depending on the release set-up. The audio and video samples in the sample pack show “simple albums” which only have one nested ResourceGroup whereas the mixed media bundle shows an album containing multiple carriers which means there are multiple nested ResourceGroups. However, releases with such multi-level ResourceGroups can be described in the audio album or video album profiles. So, for example, the audio album profile could still be used to describe a release of the Beatles’ “White Album”.
