Clipper  @  British  Library  Labs    

26/10/2015  

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

Overview  

26/10/2015   6  

» What  is  Clipper?    ›  an  online  media  analysis  tool  for  digital  researchers  working  with  time-­‐based  media  (i.e.  audio  /  video  data)  

» Aim:  Create  a  software  toolkit  (FOSS);  deployed  in  an  institution  or  operated  as  an  national  service  

» Method:  Community  engagement  and  collaborative-­‐design  delivering  responsive  development  &usable  tools  

» Why  we  are  here  today?  ›  consultation  and  feedback  (please  tell  what  you  think)

Current  Activities  

26/10/2015   7  

» 3  Community  Workshops  

» 3  Cycles  of  Development  

» 3  Prototypes  » User  Studies…  ongoing  

   #clippertube            @clipper_rdm    

Page 8: Clipper British Library London slides

Why?  

» Problems  ›  time-­‐based  media  is  a  large  and  ‘lumpy’  data  format,  hard  to  analyse  and  even  harder  to  share  your  analysis  ›  barriers  to  effective  (re)use  of  audio  and  video  data  include  closed  collections  (IPR)  and  proprietary  tools  and  formats  

» Solutions  ›  clip:  virtual  clips  (i.e.  source  file  URL,  start  and  stop  point)  ›  organise:  annotate  and  group  into  cliplists  ›  share:  cool  URIs  for  sharing  playable  clips  and  cliplists

Benefits  

» Bringing  audio  and  video  data  ‘alive’  -­‐  enabling  analysis  without  breaking  copyright  or  altering  the  data  

» Streamlines  workflows  and  facilitates  collaboration  

» Secure  and  safe  -­‐  respects  existing  access  permissions  to  data  and  does  not  alter  or  duplicate  the  original  files  

» Creates  opportunities  for  ›  citizen  science  /  citizen  research;  user  generated  content  e.g.  crowd  sourcing  metadata;  and  user  analytics

Clarifications  

»   Clipper  is…  ›  An  online  media  analysis  and  collaboration  tool  for  digital  researchers  (i.e.  it  supports  human-­‐based  qualitative  analysis,  collaboration  and  sharing)  

» Clipper  is  not…  ›  not  an  online  audio  /  video  editing  tool  ›  not  an  online  publishing  or  repository  service  ›  not  a  machine-­‐based  analysis  tool

A    Little  More  Tech  Info  

» Works  client  side  to  create  HTML  docs  that  contain  the  Clips,  Cliplists,  Annotations,  etc.  and  stores  them  on  a  server  

» Docs  are  stored  as  HTML  in  directories    ›  Good  for  long  term  preservation  and  access  

›  Portable  and  shareable  and  Web2.0  friendly  ›  No  audio  /  video  is  copied  –  metadata  only  

» Doc  data  is  also  stored  in  database  for  searching  and  managing  etc.  

» Has  a  metadata  schema  editor  and  licence  picker  /  editor  ›  Easily  integrated  into  local  Data  Model  and  Licence  structures

How  Does  it  Work?  

»  You  create  virtual  clips  that  you  can  annotate  using  free  text  and  share  as  URIs  

»  A  virtual  clip  contains  UG  metadata  &  UGC:    ›  reference  to  the  source  media  file,  a  start  and  end  time,  title,  description,  keywords  etc.  added  to  classify  and  

retrieve  clips  ›  Annotations  (textual  in  this  phase)  ‘pinned’  to  the  timeline  –  can  be  short  or  long…  

»  Clips  and  their  annotations  can  be  combined  to  form  custom  playlists  called  cliplists.  

»  Cliplists  can  contain  clips  from  different  sources  

»  Researchers  create  virtual  clips  with  annotations  containing  their  coding  classifications  and  notes  

»  Your  virtual  clip  records  are  stored  separately  to  the  original  media  files  as  webpages  with  resolvable  URIs  (Web  2.0  /  Social  Media  Friendly).  Data  is  also  stored  in  a  database  for  searching  etc  

»  Every  clip  and  cliplist  has  a  unique  and  persistent  data  document  identifier  that  enables  you  to  share  your  clips  

»  Your  records  are  stored  securely  and  can  be  shared  without  affecting  media  copyright  or  confidentiality

Technical  

»  Naturally  Restful  (client  side  HTML5  code)  quick  and  responsive  

»  Data  is  stored  as  json  (quick,  non  verbose  and  flexible)  in  HTML  documents  

»  Data  can  be  exported  in  different  formats  –  XML,  CSV  etc.  

»  Native  file  format  is  HTML…  

»  Clipper  documents  are  stored  in  directories  –  each  has  a  cool  URI  

»  Clipper  data  is  also  stored  in  a  database  to  enable  searching  »  No  media  data  is  stored  or  transported  –  just  metadata  about  the  media  and  UGC  

»  User  can  move  their  Clipper  documents  easily  

»  HTML  as  native  file  format  is  good  for  long  term  access  and  preservation…  

»  Implications  of  HTML  as  native  file  format…  ›  Another  way  to  understand  Clipper  –  a  HTML  publishing  platform  that  just  happens  to  be  working  

with  online  a/v  media  data,  at  the  moment…
