[CODE4LIB] Clipper Project Phase 2 Community Workshops: A Research Toolkit for Digital Audio Visual Media
*** please excuse cross posting *** National Library of Scotland is hosting the Clipper Project Phase 2 Community Workshop: A Research Toolkit for Digital Audio Visual Media on Monday 28 September at its George IV Bridge Building in central Edinburgh. Clipper is a toolkit that enables the creation and sharing of virtual-clips without altering or copying the original media files. More details are available below from the Clipper Project Manager, John Casey including how to sign-up to the workshop at the National Library of Scotland. Additional workshops will also run at later dates in Manchester and London. Please circulate to others as appropriate.

I will post the list when the prototype is up and running. Invitation We are developing a free and open source software toolkit to support researchers in all disciplines who work with digital audio-visual media and would like to invite you to attend our upcoming community consultation workshops in September / October 2015, engage in comment, feedback and discussion about our online prototypes and arrange discussion meetings (for further information – please see below and via the web links). The workshops are: National Library of Scotland, Monday 28th Sept<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/clipper-project-workshop-edinburgh-tickets-18586167728> Manchester School of Art, Wednesday 14th October<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/clipper-project-workshop-manchester-tickets-18586702327> British Library, London, Monday 26th October<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/clipper-project-british-library-labs-workshop-tickets-18586738435> We are in the second phase of our development cycle having already produced an online ‘proof of concept’ in phase 1 and received positive and useful feedback from the research community. In the present stage of our work we are creating a working online prototype that researchers will be able to experiment with. We will be releasing our first online prototype by the 28th September and then modifying it in the light of feedback as we conduct our workshops and engage with the research community in workshops, online and via smaller meetings. By the end of November, through this process of co-design, we aim to have a working prototype that demonstrates the toolkit working with separate audio-visual collections. Our aims for phase 3 in 2016 are to produce a working version of the toolkit installed in an institutional setting and a trial demonstrator site for a possible national service. Toolkit Description Here is a brief overview of the toolkit functionality taken from our brochure<http://blog.clippertube.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/clipper-brochure-a4.pdf>: “Clipper is a free open-source web application enabling researchers to create and share virtual-clips without altering the original media files. Clipper enables you to mark the start and end of interesting events while playing audio or video data files through a standard web browser. You can add rich text annotations to each clip, and combine clips into playlists (cliplists).” To help conceptualise using the Clipper toolkit – here is a summary: • Control the play back of online audio / video • Specify the start and end points of custom clips within the media • Add notes to the clips • Combine clips together into cliplists • Share clips and clip lists This 'user generated data' is stored as metadata in HTML documents, which points to the source audio / video files and is viewable in any modern web browser. The end-user will only be able to play the original audio / video files if they have the rights to access them, vital for complying with copyright and data protection issues. Thus, although the clipper documents are owned by the user, the original media stays where it is. Because the native file format of Clipper is HTML, Clipper documents are very portable, social media friendly and easy to integrate int

Re: [CODE4LIB] Fwd: [rules] Publication of the RDA Element Vocabularies
Je ne comprends pas l'anglais. Je ne comprends pas l'URI otherDesignationAssociatedWithTheCorporateBody 私は日本人です。私は理解していない、そのURI Opaque URIs with human readable labels helps in an international context. Just my two yens worth :) G - Gill Hamilton Digital Access Manager National Library of Scotland George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW, Scotland e: g.hamil...@nls.uk t: +44 (0)131 623 3770 Skype: gill.hamilton.nls From: Code for Libraries [CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] on behalf of Dan Scott [deni...@gmail.com] Sent: 22 January 2014 21:10 To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Fwd: [rules] Publication of the RDA Element Vocabularies Hi Karen: On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 3:16 PM, Karen Coyle li...@kcoyle.net wrote: I can't address the first points, but I can speak a bit to the question of meaningful URIs. In the original creation of the RDA elements, meaningful URIs were used based on the actual RDA terminology. This resulted in URIs like: http://rdvocab.info/Elements/alternativeChronologicalDesignationOfLastIssueOrPartOfSequence and... http://rdvocab.info/Elements/alternativeChronologicalDesignationOfLastIssueOrPartOfSequenceManifestation Not only that, the terminology for some elements changed over time, which in some cases meant deprecating a property that was then overly confusing based on its name. Now, I agree that one possibility would have been for the JSC to develop meaningful but reasonably short property names. Another possibility is that we cease looking at URIs and begin to work with labels, since URIs are for machines and labels are for humans. Unfortunately, much RDF software still expects you to work with the underlying URI rather than the human-facing label. We need to get through that stage as quickly as possible, because it's causing us to put effort into URI naming that would be best used for other analysis activities. Thanks for responding on this front. I understand that, while the vocabulary was in heavy active development it might have been painful to adjust as elements changed, but given that this marks the actual publication of the vocabulary, that churn should have settled down, and then this part of the JSC's contribution to semantic web could have semantics applied at both the micro and macro level. I guess I see URIs as roughly parallel to API names; as long as humans are assembling programs, we're likely to benefit from having meaningful (no air quotes required) names... even if sometimes the meaning drifts over time and the code APIs need to be refactored. Dealing with sequentially numbered alphanumeric identifiers reminds me rather painfully of MARC. For what it's worth (and it might not be worth much) curl http://rdaregistry.info/Elements/a/P50101 | grep reg:name | sort | uniq -c shows that the reg:name property is unique across all of the agent properties, at least. Remnants of the earlier naming effort? If that pattern holds, those could have been simply used for the identifiers in place of P#. The most unwieldy of those appears to be otherDesignationAssociatedWithTheCorporateBody (which _is_ unwieldy, certainly, but still more meaningful than http://rdaregistry.info/Elements/a/P50033).
