How does EIDR handle programs that originated overseas?
How does EIDR keep track of international programs that may have original broadcasts overseas and US premieres through PBS?
EIDR does not allow duplicates and it is a disambiguation service. If a show already exists in the Registry, you can tag the record with your organization's House Number as an alternate identifier. As a rule of thumb, EIDR requires that each Abstract Record (Series, Season, Episode or One-Time-Only) reflect the commissioning Distributor or Broadcaster and the initial mode (Web, TV, etc.) to which the Creative Work was released to the public. If your station acquires a Program:
EIDR will flag the record with your House Number.
EIDR will allow you to create EDIT and MANIFESTATION records to represent your acquisition.
Only if you "recut" the acquisition, can you create your own Abstract Record with the episode class of "recut."
