INDEXING AND SEARCHING AUDIOVISUAL MATERIAL at the D-Lib Competence
Center
ISTI-CNR, via G. Moruzzi 1, 56124 Pisa, Italy - 27-28 November 2003
http://dlibcenter.iei.pi.cnr.it

This is the announcement of a course on indexing and searching
audiovisual material in a digital library. The course, which will take
place in Pisa on November 27-28, 2003, is organized in the context of
the Digital Library Competence Center (IST-2001-32587), a project funded
within the FP5 of the European Community. The competence center aims at
providing specific user communities with access to advanced DL tesbeds,
services, expertise and knowledge.

Courses at the Digital Library Competence Center are addressed to
librarians, archivists, scholars and technicians, and offer direct
experience of advanced digital library testbeds.
Courses are free of charge. Registration is requested, maximum number of
participants for each course is 10.

INDEXING AND SEARCHING AUDIOVISUAL MATERIAL
The aim is to provide a theoretical and experimental background on the
techniques and the methodologies for the organization, creation, and
management of an Audio/Video Digital Library.
The frontier of Digital Libraries consists in the possibility of
managing multimedia documents other than pure textual information. In
particular, due to the large amount of Audio/Video material that is
available in a digital form and due to the importance of this material
for many aspects - economic, environmental, health, cultural, social,
etc. - of everyday life, the management of Audio/Video Digital Libraries
is becoming of crucial importance.
The course will teach the techniques and the methodologies to design,
build and maintain an Audio/Video Digital Library. The ECHO system that
will be used as a testbed during the course, provides a digital library
service for historical films. It allows to index and retrieve the audio
video material by using speech transcripts, video features automatically
extracted from the video and metadata manually associated by the user.
Metadata are described by using an audio-video metadata model based on
the IFLA-FRBR standard.

The course will provide:
1) Two days activities at the D-Lib Center,  organized as follows:
Audio/Video Digital Libraries: an introduction
How to design and build an Audio/Video Digital Library
Examples on the use of the Audio/Video Digital Library
Manual indexing of A/V documents
The ECHO metadata model for A/V documents
The ECHO metadata editor
Training on the indexing of A/V documents
Training on the usage of the DL
System documentation will be available.
Teaching Staff:
Giuseppe Amato
Claudio Gennaro

The D-Lib Laboratory is available for use during the course.
Other courses on the ECHO system were held in January 2003 and repeated
in May 2003.
