AMIA 2014 | Tne Body, Many Heads: Preservation and Access From Project Hydra
Channel: AMIAstreaming
Date: 2015-01-26

Presented by Karen Cariani, WGBH; Jon Dunn, Indiana University; Stefan Elnabli, Northwestern University; and, Hannah Frost, Stanford University

Open source solutions to our challenges in audiovisual preservation and access not only include tools and software applications, but technological frameworks that constitute a foundation for innovation. One such framework is Project Hydra, an exciting collaboration of archivists, media-managers, and software developers who are building and using this community-sourced application framework to create new and open systems that manage, preserve, and provide access to digital audiovisual content. This panel will showcase Hydra-influenced open source projects and strategic planning from WGBH, Indiana University Library, Northwestern University Library, and Stanford University Library. From unique audiovisual preservation systems to cataloguing and access management solutions, representatives will discuss their projects, how their work meets the growing demands of audiovisual preservation and access, and their experiences in developing for the open source community. 

Presented as part of the Open Source Digital Preservation and Access Stream at AMIA 2014.  To dowload the presentations for these and other sessions from the Conference, go to http://goo.gl/e5quqQ.
