STATUS

This group has been retired due to lack of activity.


Scope & Objectives

The Time-Based Media Interest Group is a forum for discussing management, access and preservation of audio and video repository content, particularly in Samvera-based systems.

Topics of interest may include:

  • metadata (such as PBCore, RDF and PCDM)

  • file management practices (formats, transcoding, workflows, preservation)

  • digital preservation practices

  • interoperability issues (standards similar to IIIF, between applications such as Avalon/Sufia/HydraDAM)

  • media related technologies (players, streaming servers, applications such as Avalon, HydraDAM)

  • access challenges and opportunities (LTI, adaptive streaming, access control, discovery)

  • tools for teaching and scholarship (transcripts, analysis, annotation)

Potential group activities:

  • liaising with, and promoting Hydra in, other media-oriented communities (such as AMIA, IASA)

  • ensuring that Hydra solutions meet the needs of media collection management

  • identifying best practices for media management

  • surveying the media landscape and needs of the Hydra community

  • provide input on development roadmaps for media-related Hydra Projects (Avalon, HydraDAM2, etc)

Meeting Times and Communication Channels

Time/Date: Usually the last Thursday of the month at 1pm ET.

We use the samvera-community@googlegroups.com channel for cross-community communications. The subject line of a message posted to this channel shall be preceded by "T-MIG" in square brackets.
