Library Brown Bag: Using Digital Video in Omeka:
8/29/2012
Greetings!
Please join us Wednesday, August 29 for the first
digital library brown bag presentation of the Fall
2012 series by Will Cowan. The presentation
will be held at the Herman B Wells Library,
E174, from 12:00pm - 1:00pm.
Using Digital Video in Omeka: Development of a
Video Segmentation and Annotation Plugin
- Will Cowan, Associate Director for
Digital Library Software Development Digital
Library Program
This presentation will showcase video
segmentation and annotation functionality
developed as a plugin to be used with Omeka, an
open-source, exhibition software package.
The plugin was made possible by a start up grant
from the NEH Office of Digital Humanities. I
will discuss two of the many potential functions
this plugin provides for video in Omeka.
First, it is able to represent interactive
data on a timeline as videos play. This
functionality makes it possible to use this tool
in the classroom in a variety of ways, from
presentation of data to students to the creation
of videos and annotations by the students. In
addition, this functionality is ideal for
presenting video segments and annotation on an
Omeka website so that you don't have to
present entire videos but just important segments.
Second, it is a tool that can be used for
research, especially if it involves the
representation of several streams of video.
In their book,
The Maltese Touch of Evil: Film
Noir and Potential Criticism, Richard Edwards
and Shannon Scott Klute present the idea of an
MTOE database, a collection of films noir that
have been segmented and annotated and could be
used to form the basis of new analyses of the
genre. How frequently and where do closeups
occur in film noir? How dark is film noir,
really? Do all men with guns wear hats in
film noir? By segmenting the video and
setting up side by side displays, this type of
analysis becomes possible and provides a means to
address questions that are often based on a few
specially chosen films as opposed to many films
across the genre. I will demo a preliminary
version of this database using 20 public domain
films noir and show how such an analysis could be done.
Presentation slides and audio will be
available via the Connect Meeting Service
(formerly known as "Breeze"). Go
to
http://breeze.iu.edu/diglib to view and
listen to the presentation. If you are not a
registered user for Connect Meeting/Breeze, select
the "Enter as a Guest" option.
The Digital Library Brown Bag series is

semester. All presentations are in the
Herman B Wells Library, room E174, from 12:00pm -
1:00pm unless otherwise noted. The complete
schedule, including abstracts, is available on the
