Clipper: In a nutshell

»Clipper 1. 2. 3.1.Clip: Create a virtual

clip (i.e. source file, start and stop point)

2.Organise: Annotate and store clips and cliplists

3.Share: Cool URIs for sharing playable clips and cliplists

Phases 1 and 2: Community feedback

» Phase 1› “it’s genius, it’s just what we need”

– Gill Hamilton: Digital Access Manager, National Library of Scotland

» Phase 2› “with these sort of annotations on the clip, then I would

be using nothing else for the rest of my life” – Peter Hohenstein: Group Leader, Developmental Biology, Roslin Institute

› “getting that 360 degree picture of a research output would be really useful if it was easy and not the pain that it is today”– Marc Silberschatz: Theatre Researcher, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland

Phase 2: Judges feedback

»Recommendations› Technical

standards› Legal implications› Focus on research

and research data applications

»Actions› Structured discussions at

community workshops on these issues

› Input from Jisc Media Hub and Digirati with follow-up meeting on IIIF

› Successful application to Software Sustainability Institute (support)

8

Phase 2: Technical standards

»Technical standards› Community workshops› Blog posts exploring relevant standards› OU standards workshop with Tom Crane of

Digirati› Phase 3 standards candidates identified

– JSON-LD– W3C Annotation Data model– IIIF (International Image Interoperability

Framework)– DOI; ORCID; OAI-PMH

9

Phase 2: Legal implications

»Legal implications› Community workshops› Analysis of legal issues on the Clipper blog› Discussed from two viewpoints (inc. risk

mitigation)– Owners / managers of audio-visual content – Users who are creating the clips and annotations

› Advice and positive encouragement from Jisc legal advisor (John Kelly)

10

Phase 2: Focus on research

»Focus on research and research data applications› Community workshops› Institutional meetings› Phase 3 pilots identified with strong research focus

– EUSCREEN (EU cultural heritage service)– The Royal Scottish Conservatoire (e.g. dance, voice)– The Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh (e.g. genetics)– British Universities Film and Video Council (HE national service)
