What WIRED magazine calls the new, digital socialism When masses of people who own the means of production
work toward a common goal and share their products in common, when they contribute labor without wages and enjoy the fruits free of charge, it's not unreasonable to call that socialism. — WIRED MAGAZINE: 17.06 (June 2009)
Digital tools make it possible for projects to organize themselves
in unprecedented ways.
RENCI
Docsoft:AV uses an advanced speech recognition engine to analyze the spoken content within digital AV files and converts it to an XML based format. The result can automatically be transformed to output formats such as Quicktime Text, RealText, SAMI or plain text.
Combining the generated transcript file with the video will allow users to create the necessary closed caption feature for ADA compliance. Using the Docsoft:SA, indexing and search capabilities can now be obtained from the transcript originally generated by the Docsoft:AV appliance.

Documenting
metadata: tells future technicians and technical audiences what was done (librarians, audiophiles, web-developers)
plain language: tells interested parties what was done (senior leadership at instution)
