Abstract: In today’s archival landscape, advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence are being increasingly adopted. But advanced technology can only do so much. This case study describes how International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), the international governing body for football, conducted a careful assessment of its metadata management practices and future needs, and implemented a terminology management system (TMS) to manage specific terminology and impose standards to improve the effectiveness of the metadata in its audiovisual archive. Although exploiting this new TMS to its full capacity will be an iterative process, by investing the effort now, the FIFA Audiovisual Archive can gain full control over its metadata and be better prepared to adopt new tools and workflows in the future.
