Motivation or

„We kill people based on metadata“ (David Cole)

Good tools for automatic multimedia annotation

available „for special domains“

Good single user tools for multimedia annotation

Beyond the obvious: (Web) tagging the non-visible

Collaborative multimedia annotation

Decoupled infrastructure

How can we scale up video tagging to support informal learning at the work place

Objectives

– Mobile creation of videos with learning materials (physical-digital world)

– Tag the non-obvious for informal learning in communities (social media layer)

– Scaffold meaningful learning by exploiting semantic tagging information (social semantic layer)

Two regional clusters

– Construction (Germany)

– Healthcare (UK) http://learning-layers.eu/

Near Real-Time (NRT) Collaboration

Data structure dependent

– Tree-like data structures with operational transformations

– e.g. XML-based (MPEG-7)

NRT updates propagation

– Underlying infrastructure and used protocols (e.g. XMPP)

Preserving data consistency and user intention

– NRT video operations

– Concurrent updates

Conclusion and Future Work

Open Source Development and Cloud Deployment

(ask for details)

Strong and scalable service infrastructure

(Distributed) Web widget and mobile interfaces

Challenges

– WebRTC infrastructure for update propagation

– Operational transformation algorithms for collaborative

semantic annotations

– Parallel video processing in the cloud (MapReduce)

– OpenID Connect (OIDC) for security and privacy
