    GRASS GIS, Star Trek and old Video Tape
    (Delaware : Open Source Geospatial Foundation, 2015) Löwe, Peter Heinz; Neumann, Janna; Plank, Margret; Ziedorn, Frauke; Lazar, Robert; Westervelt, James; Inman, Roger
    This paper discusses the need for the preservation of audiovisual content in the OSGeo communities beyond the established software repositories. Audiovisual content related to OSGeo projects such as training videos can be preserved by multimedia archiving and retrieval services which are currently developed by the library community. This is demonstrated by the reference case of a newly discovered version of the GRASS GIS 1987 promotional video which is being included into the AV-portal of the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB). Access to the video will be provided upon the release of the web-based portal, allowing for extended search capabilities based on enhanced metadata derived by automated video analysis. This is a reference case for future preservation activities regarding semanticenhanced Web2.0 content from OSGeo projects

    Acquisition of audiovisual Scientific Technical Information from OSGeo by TIB Hannover: A work in progress report
    (Delaware : Open Source Geospatial Foundation, 2015) Löwe, Peter; Plank, Margret; Marín-Arraiza, Paloma
    This paper gives a work in progress report on the application of the TIB|AV Portal for audiovisual OSGeo content. The portal is a web-based platform for audiovisual media combining state-of-the art multimedia analysis with semantic based analysis, and retrieval. It meets the requirements by special libraries for reliable long term preservation, scientific citation via persistent identifiers, and applies metadata enhancement to enable innovative services for search and retrieval.

    TIB AV-Portal: A reliable infrastructure for scientific audiovisual media
    (Prague : National Technical Library, 2016) Plank, Margret
    With the AV Portal 1 , the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) 2 in collaboration with the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI)3 has developed a user-oriented platform for scientific films. This portal offers free access to high-quality computer visualisations, simulations, experiments and interviews as well as recordings of lectures and conferences from the fields of science and technology. The automatic video analysis of the TIB AV Portal includes not only structural analysis (scene recognition), but also text, audio and image analysis. Automatic indexing by the AV Portal describes videos at the segment level, enabling pinpoint searches to be made within videos. Films are allocated a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which means they can be referenced clearly. Individual film segments are allocated a Media Fragment Identifier (MFID), which enables the video to be referenced down to the second and cited. The creator of the audiovisual media segment can choose between an Open Access licence and a declaration of consent, enabling them to decide how they wish to permit TIB to utilise the material. TIB recommends the “CC-Namensnennung – Deutschland 3.0” licence, which ensures that the creator is acknowledged and permits the comprehensive use of audiovisual media in research and teaching.

    Extending Media Literacy Education: The Popular Science Video Workshop
    (Den Haag : IFLA, 2017) Plank, Margret; Molnár, Attila Dávid; Marín-Arraiza, Paloma
    This article discusses the current relevance of videos for communicating science and presents the state of the art of Media Literacy Education programs for scientists in this area. Some initiatives of these programs are supported by university libraries and specialised libraries, and others by universities and research centres themselves. We introduce a program which is designed to provide scientists with specific training for creating and publishing video abstracts. The participants learn how to write a script for a video and acquire the basic skills they need to record audio and video, and edit footage together into a complete unit. This combines both scientific communication and creativity. The aim of this article is to show how scientists can effectively record video abstracts for their papers on their own, how libraries can support them in this issue, and how important it is to extend Media Literacy Education by programs for scientists.
