MIT or GPL OSS licence.

Relevant software outputs will be contributed to Simile Google Code repository. Other software outputs will probably go on Google Code

Tracking of use of bundles not in scope for project.

Videos can be selected by (CC) licence. Bundles of aggregated video and learning materials can be CC-licensed. Licence can be embedded in bundle.

Could apply concept to any media player that had concept of time, e.g. slide share, audio players.

Simile, faceted browsing system, used for exhibits. Also basis for the Simile scrolling timeline, but video itself provides the timeline in this case.

Anticipate that resource information (e.g. from Jorum) will be something like Dublin Core

Posted by philb at 2012-05-23 13:29:58

Need to talk to Jorum about how to get resource links from them in format they an use.

Posted by philb at 2012-05-23 13:28:41

Don't store any resources, just links and semantic annotations.

Posted by philb at 2012-05-23 13:27:39

Annotations and additional resources can be linked in at appropriate points of video.

Use case: bundling online resources around play-back video. This project will build on prototype/proof of concept created during ESRC Ensemble project

Consultation with MIT, not formal partner.
