The RUanalytic: Building Collaborative Services into a Video Analysis Tool - Chad M. Mills, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, United States of America

This paper was originally proposed by: Chad M. Mills, Grace Agnew, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, United States of America.

Digital video is becoming a major growth area in repository environments. Many significant humanities collections are primarily or exclusively in video form. Video is a vital tool in the area of observation research methodologies. Also, video is being used to capture time series data in science fields to supplement the numeric data that is captured by sensors and other sampling equipment.

The RUanalytic tool is a web-based video analysis tool. It allows users to clip, annotate, and create playlists using one or many videos stored in RUcore, the Rutgers University institutional repository. The product of the analysis is an analytic object, which can be published, accessed, and cited through RUcore as well. One or more users can participate in the creation of an analytic through an integrated collaborative process.

The RUanalytic tool is transforming video analysis by providing researchers a web-based solution with integrated features that creates a collaborative environment to generate original research by reusing existing repository resources.
