Popis: As humanities scholars move from creating traditional scholarly publications to creating online collaborative research projects they have begun to realize the need for a common vocabulary or schema to describe their domains. This paper explores the study of moviegoing and the process of creating a schema to describe the field of moviegoing. The purpose is to involve scholars focused on different aspects of moviegoing in schema development so that they might be able to begin their research with this core schema, and share their research with each other using this schema as a crosswalk. Ten different moviegoing scholars were asked to participate in a Delphi study to help define the field of moviegoing for future research and analysis. The iterative process of a Delphi study allowed me to collate the thoughts of experts from around the world. It is hoped that the creation of an after-the-fact schema for existing.
