Das TIB AV-Portal der Technischen Informationsbibliothek in Hannover ist eine kunden- und bedarfsorientierte Plattform für hochwertige wissenschaftliche Videos aus dem Bereich Technik und Naturwissenschaften. Automatische Szenenerkennung sowie Text-, Audio- und Bildanalyse werden zur automatischen Anreicherung mit Metadaten genutzt. Die Filme sind mit einem Digital Object Identifier (DOI) und - auf Segmentbasis - mit Media Fragment Identifiern versehen, womit die Filme sekundengenau dereferenziert und zitiert werden können. Praxisnutzen und Potentiale dieser Infrastruktur für die Erschließung und Nachnutzung in Wissenschaft, Lehre und Industrie werden exemplarisch am Beispiel der FOSS4G-Konferenzvideos der Open Source Geospatial Foundation, vorgestellt.

1. THE TIB AV-PORTAL:
UNLOCKING CONFERENCE VIDEOS BY DOI/MFID FOR
SOFTWARE PROJECT COMMUNITIES.

// INTRODUCTION
Scientific audio-visual media such as videos of research experiments, computer
animations or conference recordings have become an important part of scientific
communication due to the complexity of modern research in the fields of Science and
Technology. These media contribute to a better understanding and discussion of the
research because they can describe dynamic phenomena which cannot be precisely
detailed in words and pictures and let us explore environmental phenomena more
efficiently.
// THE VALUE OF SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE
RECORDINGS
Traditionally, the results presented at conferences are published in proceedings. Today,
in many cases those talks are also being recorded and published after the conference.
These videos are an important part of scientific communication and also cultural
heritage items. Let us make those conference recordings searchable, citable and long-
term preserved.
// THE TIB AV-PORTAL
The TIB AV-Portal provides access to high grade scientific videos from the fields of
technology/engineering, architecture, chemistry, information technology, mathematics
and physics in English and German.
// GEOSCIENCES-RELATED COLLECTION
> Content from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Information Technology,
Engineering and Architecture
> Conference recordings, including Geoinformatics, e. g.:
> FOSS4G 2013, 2015, 2016
> FOSSGIS 2011–2016
> FrOSCon 2014, 2015, (2016 coming soon)
> Historical educational videos (IWF))
// INNOVATIVE SERVICES
IN-VIDEO SEARCHING
Innovative search and analysis tools improve the search for and the re-use of scientific
videos by enabling pinpoint access to individual video segments. Content-based filter
facets for search results enable the exploration of the increasing number of videos.
SCIENTIFIC CREDIT BY DOI-BASED CITATION
All videos are assigned by Digital Object Identifiers (DOI). By using media fragment
identifier (MFID) video segments can be cited as easily as a chapter or a page in a book.
As a result videos can be published in a scientifically sound way and be linked via DOIs
to other research work like the corresponding article or an expedition documentary and
its field notebook.
UPLOAD AND PRESERVE YOUR SCIENTIFIC VIDEOS
The TIB AV Portal is the ideal, reliable infrastructure for the long term preservation
and access to scientific videos. Please contact TIB if Videos can be easily uploaded
@ AV.TIB.EU
FIGURE 1: The TIB AV-Portal focuses mainly on contemporary scientific videos from the six core subjects of the German National
Library of Science and Technology. These fields provide significant input for the Geosciences. In addition, historical educational
videos from the German Institute for Scientific Film (IWF) are being published online.
FIGURE 2: Conference videos from the german FOSSGIS
2016 conference (part of OSGeo) on the use of volume data
for geologic structures as part of an innovative web portal
for the State of Brandenburg. Note the extended Metadata
which enable advanced search capabilities within the video
content. (DOI: 10.5446/14813)
FIGURE 3: Conference video excerpt from the global FOSS4G
conference (DOI: 10.5446/20452): The slide demonstrates
how DOI-referenced video content can be searched via DOI-
enabled search portal, like the DataCite portal. Such video
excerpts can be cited by DOI-MediaFragmentIdentifier
(MFID). This enables self-referential structures in scientific
video communication. Within the AV-Portal, an embed code
allows for reuse in other Web 2.0 portals, while the content
canalsobedownloaded.(DOI:10.5446/20452#T=14:03,15:02)
// CONTENT PROVIDER EXAMPLES
The primary purpose of the signature is
to graphically identify the Corps and its Field
Operating Activities in a uniform and
communicative way.
All signatures are a combination of the
Corps Mark and the name which describes
a specific Field Operating Activity. No
additional elements, typography or graphic
devices should ever be added to the basic
signature configuration.
Corps Signature
The Corps Signature consists of the mark
and the Corps of Engineers name set
in the Helvetica Medium type face. Both
elements are placed flush to the left. This
signature is to be used as the graphic
identifier on those items common to the
entire Corps of Engineers.
Division, District and other Field Operating
Activity Signatures
There are individual signatures for the Office
of the Chief of Engineers and for each Field
Operating Activity in the Corps. The Corps
Signature is the principal graphic identifier to
be used by these activities
on all publications, signage, vehicles, etc.
The individual Field Operating Activity
signature is a modification of the basic
Corps Signature. It is formed by placing
the name of the particular FOA below the
Corps name. FOA names are set in Helve-
tica Regular, a lighter-weight type face so
that, while emphasis remains on the Corps
name and mark, each Corps activity is
identified in its own unique identification
signature and, at the same time, is clearly
related to the Corps as a whole.
There are no other acceptable versions
of the signature. Do not alter the typogra-
phy, mark size, or general configuration of
the signature. Use original reproduction
artwork found in Chapter 9 of this manual
at all times. Avoid second generation
reproduction.
For detailed guidance on the application
or use of the signature, refer to the appli-
cable sections of this manual. Contact the
Corps Graphics Coordinator for advice
and assistance on unique or special appli-
cations of the signature.
