"Enabling Access to Sound Archives through Integration, Enrichment and Retrieval"

Combine various disparate music, performance and related multimedia archives into a common and easily accessible archive.

In consultation with various content providers, we have identified a strong interest in sharing or unifying the content of different archives. For instance, the National Library of Scotland, Irish Traditional Music Archive, and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (RSAMD TO FIX THIS PARAGRAPH AS APPROPRIATE) all wish to provide common access to each other’s material. This will be achieved through the following:

• Establishing a common set of metadata
• Providing tools for metadata and standard conversion
• Providing tools for cross-archive access.

Note that an outcome of this objective is that it will enable collaboration of disparate communities with a shared interest in the materials of the sound archives.

ABSTRACT:
Many sound and music archives, although increasingly digitised, suffer tremendous problems concerning access. Sound materials are often separate from other materials and media, they cannot be listened to or browsed, and there is no way to search the content. Existing systems which attempt to deal with these issues are often library or content specific, of limited functionality, or difficult to use. The EASAIER project will enable enhanced access to sound archives through providing multiple methods of retrieval, integration with other media archives, content enrichment and careful evaluation based on user needs. It offers methods of searching content based on musical features, audio features, or speech content. It also supports cross-media retrieval, enabling access of other media besides just audio. Finally, the EASAIER project benefits from the wealth of user needs studies in this area. This allows the work to be reactive; the tools that are developed through EASAIER are in direct response to user demands.

BEGINNING OF MOTIVATION
Many digital sound archives still suffer from tremendous problems concerning access. Often, there is no way to listen to material in the archive other than by going to the archive and listening on premises, making copies or borrowing materials. Furthermore, the sound archive is often completely separate from other materials, and thus related text, video, and other media must be searched by other means. Finally, the archives, though rich in content, do not have sufficient tools to enable a correspondingly enriched user experience. One may sometimes search by metadata, but the equivalent of full-text search (searching for specific sounds) is usually unavailable, and few tools, if any, are available which allow users to study the archive as a whole.

Content providers and managers are hampered in their attempts to impose order into collections. Materials are often in different formats, with related media in separate collections, and with non-standard, specialist, incomplete or even erroneous metadata. Thus, the end user is unable to discover the full value of the archived material. To expose the inherent value of the archived material, powerful multimedia mining techniques are needed, in combination with content extractors, meaningful descriptors, and visualization tools.

There is also a need to improve retrieval effectiveness. Existing retrieval systems often do not exploit the nuances of an archive’s structure, or take into account the specific nature of the media content. In regard to sound archives, search by speech is rarely combined with musical or other audio retrieval systems. Thus retrieval techniques are restricted and inflexible. To address this, multiple retrieval techniques need to be merged and deployed, and similarity and structure must be conceptualised in order to provide a usable service. An efficient and effective retrieval system needs to be grounded in semantic description, similarity, and structure in order to provide rich functionalities related to the exploration of sound archives.

Another issue for content managers and providers is that of providing appropriate interaction with and presentation of material for the end-users. An archive used by musicians and music students, for instance, requires that the material can be manipulated or modified appropriately at playback, whereas archives of recorded broadcasts need to emphasise appropriate segmentation and interactive speech recognition features.

A further pen issue for content managers and providers is of tailoring, personalizing and recommending material to end users. The creation of tailored collections with customized material has been identified as a strong user need in access systems.

These scenarios necessitate the development of enhanced and appropriate retrieval systems, as well as organizational structures and the means to interact with the presentation of materials. This demands appropriate metadata that can be automatically created in order to deliver, share or organize the archives.

We will develop an electronic system for integrating and enriching sound archives and their related multimedia content. By providing new ways of access, we will expose the inherent value of the archived material. By providing new tools for interaction at access time, we will add additional value. In so doing, we will greatly increase the accessibility of sound archives, enhance their value, improve their organizational structure and preserve a significant European cultural heritage.

Projekt SEARCH (Italija)

06-10-2005

Company Engineering Sanità Enti Locali S.p.A. is preparing a proposal titled SEARCH to be submitted in the next call of the eContentPlus Programme whose deadline is the 24th of November 2005.

SEARCH will target the 5.1.1 activities by promoting an enabling infrastructure able to improve the diffusion of scientific content in the European Health Sector. To achieve such goal, SEARCH is willing to constitute a network Healthcare digital archives and deploy an user friendly multilingual search engine which will allow users (i.e. medical personnel but also Universities or other training organisations) to carry out researches, finding references and/or organise training activities for their personnel.

I would kindly ask for Your cooperation in order to identify possible content providers in Your Country. To meet the SEARCH objectives, we are interested in involving organisations (i.e. Hospitals, Local Health Authorities, etc.) which own health digital archives and are willing to take part in the SEARCH network.

PARTNER SEARCH ECONT-PLUS-IT-EPC-1
Deadline: 24/10/2005

Programme: eContentPlus
Specific area: Cultural and scientific/scholarly content
Project instruments: Content enrichment project

Title: Practical application of Michael Project standards on historical archive documents

Project description:
Italy is a member of the Michael Project, as well as Great Britain and France. A European portal already exists as an Italo-French inventory of digitised material. All national and private Archives willing to take part in this project are welcome, provided they do already hold some digitised material. It will be necessary to convert the formats and metadata into those of the Michael Project, i.e. highest European standards. The aim of this biennial project is to enrich the scientific/scholarly content of the European portal. Sweden (University of Umea) will act as a provider of digitization knowledge and experience, following the Lund principles. The final asset will be the result of an agreement between the national Ministries of Culture and the central archives institutions for the inclusion of local uniformed and digitised material into the portal of the Multilingual Inventory of Cultural Heritage in Europe. The technical assistance of the University of Umea, and the technical expertise of the partners will grant the quality of the digitised material produced and converted.

Required expertise:
The partner must be an archive holding digitised material that may be converted to the European standards used in the Michael Project.

Description of the work to be carried out by the partners sought: Availability of an archivist and of an informatic expert to train for metadata production and digital conversion of the digitised material into the European standards with the assistance of the Swedish technological provider.

Projekt MINERVA je bil zelo dobro ocenjen in se bo v določeni obliki nadaljeval tudi v prihodnje, predvsem kot neka mreža strokovnega znanja in dobrih praks. V zvezi s tem je zanimivo tudi, da se išče sodelovanje z izobraževalnimi institucijami (tudi univerzami), ki bi lahko prevzele in izvajale učne programe o digitalizaciji na podlagi učnih gradiv, ki so bila razvita v Minervi. Če koga zanima to področje, lahko pomaga vzpostaviti ustrezne stike ga. Jelka Gazvoda /afna/ gov.si.

EUPL FOSS licenca za software EU

03-08-2005
EU je objavila predlog licence EUPL, ki bi bila uporabljena za software katerega razvoj je naročila in financirala EU na EU nivoju. Zadeve se odvijajo v okviru programa IDABC, ki kot kaže vse bolj postaja razvojni forum na nivoju EU - z vsem kar k temu sodi(SW repository, XML standardi, delovne strokovne skupine, etc.).

EU je torej objavila licenco ter tudi iniciativo, da bi postavila nekakšen GovernmentForge - repozitorij za programsko opremo za uporabo državnih in javnih administracij (kar je področje, ki ga pokriva IDABC).

V skladu s prakso javnih razprav (konsultacij) je možnost javno podati svoje komentarje na EUPL.
