Description : Annotate Digital Videos, Exchange on the NEt
The Advene (Annotate Digital Videos, Exchange on the NEt) project is
aimed towards communities exchanging discourses (analysis, studies) about
audiovisual documents (e.g. movies) in digital format. This requires
that audiovisual content and hypertext facilities be integrated, thanks
to annotations providing explicit structures on audiovisual streams,
upon which hypervideo documents can be engineered.
The cross-platform Advene application allows users to easily
create comments and analyses of video comments, through the
definition of time-aligned annotations and their mobilisation
into automatically-generated or user-written comment views (HTML
documents). Annotations can also be used to modify the rendition
of the audiovisual document, thus providing virtual montage,
captioning, navigation... capabilities. Users can exchange their
comments/analyses in the form of Advene packages, independently from
the video itself.
The Advene framework is a cross-platform software provides models and
tools allowing to design and reuse annotations schemas; annotate
video streams according to these schemas; generate and create
Stream-Time Based (mainly video-centered) or User-Time Based (mainly
text-centered) visualisations of the annotations. Schemas (annotation-
and relation-types), annotations and relations, queries and views can
be clustered and shared in units called packages. Hypervideo documents
are generated when needed, both from packages (for annotation and view
description) and audiovisual streams.
Note: Debian packages are available from the website http://www.advene.org/
