Tom argues existing digital broadcasting has a failed business model, as it ignores what the audience wants most: control. Metadata has provided a hidden "killer application" on the Internet and could be used to transform digital broadcasting into a viable service. An overview will be given of the Australian Creative Resources Archives (ACRA), a nationally distributed, standardised, high-bandwidth digital archive proposed to makes "waste" materials from Australian cultural production processes available to researchers, the education sector more generally, and to commercial content developers. Metadata aspects of the project are discussed.
