Abstract: This session will cover the vision of the Community Media Archive, empower participants to get started contributing video to the Archive and cover some intermediate considerations once they have established collections. In addition to archiving, the sessions will cover topics such as using the Internet Archive as a source of non-local programming for your station. Noteworthy updates to the CMA ecosystem (such as availability on the Roku box) since the last ACM national conference will also be covered. Session Outline: Vision a collection of broadcast quality locally produced shows with sufficient descriptive metadata from Community Media Centers that can be freely shared with other stations. - broadcast quality - locally produced - sufficient descriptive metadata to be useful to others than originator - archive.org as the hub of sharing system - archive not intended to be a one way destination disaster recovery -Scope of the Internet Archive 7 million+ items -texts, videos, live music, -Scope of the Community Media Archive 19 centers from around the country 8 regularly contribute 13,000 videos -Related collections - http://accesshumboldt.net/Community_Media_Archive/ACM_2012_Presentation/all_file_size_extract.pdf Access Centers using archve.org not part of CMA (like Maui and GRTV) Tedtalks Poptech -CMA available on the Roku: https://owner.roku.com/add/NMJS5 Getting Started - Conceptual concepts collection, item, file "details" page navigation vs. search getting organized more important than technical knowledge Getting Started - Procedural -sign up for an archive "library card" / register an email address -email the collections group for a new collection collections-service@archive.org -provide descriptive text blurb about the collection -archive userids to admin the collection -jpeg station logo -request it as a "subcollection" of the community_media collection -input formats they accept and what output formats they derive http://archive.org/help/derivatives.php?mediatype=movies -use manual interactive interface (http://archive.org/create/) to upload first several videos -bulk uploader program available https://github.com/kngenie/ias3upload uses a CSV file for your metadata Internet Archive Feature Stack Diagram "iceberg" model perfect world vs. present reality layers that may need enrichment ways to make up for deficiencies Internet Archive Feature Stack Diagram mobile User Interface Web User Interface Search RSS feeds Operations transparency Metadata transparency Transcoding video Storage Archiving/Digital Library "Productionalizing" Archiving move archiving from an afterthought to part of your production workflow become conscious of your existing workflow analyze, improve it experiment Production Workflows Diagram 0 Shoot->Edit->Transcode->Present->Playback Server->Schedule->VOD->Air--------------->Archive 1 Archive->Air 2 Archive 3 local transcode w archive's code Metadata Discussion -minimal required - identifier, "creator", title, description -anything accepted (and retrievable through meta.xml file stored on item's detail page) -subject(s) - what shows up under "Browse by subject/keyword" link for collection -identifier must be unique across all 7+ million items stored at I/A -file naming restrictions A-Z0-9._- no spaces, parenthesis, brackets, pound signs allowed in file names playback server is likely more permissive than archive.org is suffix matters if you want the animated gifs to show up for your files -fields added by I/A - uploader, addeddate, publicdate, parent collections, mediatype -what extra fields can you add? examples from DOM, AH, tedtalks -extra fields are searchable but not returned in search results -"series" and "sequence" or "episode" tags -"presenter" tag Once You're Established Internet Archive peculiarities Where am i in the queue? http://archive.org/catalog.php?justme=1 Every item has a history and it's kept forever http://catalogd.us.archive.org/log_show.php?task_id= that's good! runtime and audio/video parameters from ffmpeg output available for every file transcoded "Edit Item" "Item Manager" "Item History" "Advanced Search" Metadata XML & JSON files More Metadata discussion cleanup bulk uploader program available uses a CSV file for metadata can be used to add/change metadata without uploading files RSS feeds Finding programs for Re-Broadcast -Advanced Search "AND format:MPEG2" search qualifier -TedTalks & PopTech collections NASA kids video series -archive.org RSS feeds not good enough Downloading programs for Re-Broadcast grab the MPEG2 version! grab the metadata XML file or "screen scrape" title, description, runtime grab the files.xml file; runtime (in seconds) length available from "length" element of _files.xml for an item want to be notified when a new episode of the series becomes available? subscribe to the RSS feed for the collection or create one from "advanced search" Updates: -stats/scope - CMA is growing!
