JeromeDL Roadmap for GUT
this page will list all features that is required and are supposed to be delivered by GUT
Polish translation available here
Description Guidelines
- provide general description of each deliverable
- describe the deliverable as a delta over existing features, not a completly new feature
- indicate what can be gained (by GUT and Pomerania region in particular) with each deliverable}
- estimate deliverable costs [in man/months]
See Ideas for complete list of ideas for JeromeDL project
[edit]
Complete support for OAI
to be delivered within JeromeDL Working Group Project
- list features that should be supported - contact dLibra people
- provide detailed specification (or link to it) of required features
[edit]
Querying subnetworks
- allow users to specify which subnetworks/library instances they would like to query
- should affect:
- native ELP protocol
- OAI protocol in general
- dLibra instances in particular
- it is intended to be delivered based on Semantic Overlay Networks propotype for HyperCuP Lightweigh Implementation project
- as a part of this deliverable new version of HLI with integrated SON will be delivered
[edit]
Becoming a BRICKS unit
- BRICKS project is one of the largest EU initiatives for cultural heritage
- From the technological point of view it is interesting since:
- the baseline communication is OAI
- the infrastructure is build with semantics in mind (therefore we call it a semantic digital library, one of few existing solutions)
- there is a will to deliver a semantic OAI for better communication with system like JeromeDL
- their P2P infrastructure seems to be compatible with HLI
- the idea is to wrap JeromeDL with services that would make it acting as one of bricks
- the benefits:
- better visibility of our own project
- becoming part of a large community
- gaining access to a large information space
- getting involved in an interesting, EU-wide research
[edit]
Support for Multimedia
to be delivered within JeromeDL Working Group Project
- both DERI and GUT raised a requirement on multimedia support for JeromeDL
- for DERI, it is the e-Learning content, such as videos with tutorials, that is interesting to handle
- for GUT, it is the radio broadcast recordings (SAR)
- although we could support these formats through our SWF support in JeromeDL, there is an opportunity to do more:
- provide a plugin (Macromedia Flash) that would play the content
- support various content though the plugin:
- video files
- mp3/ogg files
- video and audio streams
- DRM-protected files (later)
- DRM-protected streams (later)
- support for semantic annotations
- librarians could attach auxiliary information sources (links, images, other library resources) to particular time-frame of the multimedia
- fragments of the multimedia could be annotated with KOS (knowledge organization systems - controlled vocabulary: thesauri, taxonomies, and authority files)
- annotations of fragments could be used to provide zoom-in feature during the search
- support for community annotations
- enhance blogging support in JeromeDL with time tagging
- that would require some filtering on the blogging content
- encourage users to blog with both semantic annotations, KOS and auxiliary information - to enhance the multimedia content
- the player plugin should allow to notify the user about the content
- appropriate to the time of the movie or audio is at
- in non-distracting way
- the user should be able to stop the multimedia, read the auxiliary information, and resume afterwards
[edit]
Support for Images/Photos
to be delivered within JeromeDL Working Group Project
- although JeromeDL has support for collections of images, there are some important features missing:
- support for a single image/photo
- support for semantic annotations (+KOS) of Regions of Interests (imagine Flickr with semantic annotations)
- searching for images/photos
- the supported feature should be delivered through either DHTML/Ajax component or Flash Component or both (for security reasons Flash version might be interesting to have)
- ESP game:
- in order to encourage users to annotate images JeromeDL could give community points, for every annotation that would be matching annotations of other users
- users can trade their community points for advanced image search, or other features (access to video annotations, other ideas?)
- users do not see others' annotations until they will provide enough matching annotations for given photo
- we use annealing technique - the more annotations about given ROI is matching the more accurate/reliable it is
- it would be a nice testbed for fuzzy semantic annotations, and how we could use them
- the same game can be applied to multimedia annotations
- another feature: blogging with ROI-tags
[edit]
Help to Semantic Features for Average User
- current User Guide is too high level when it comes to explaining semantic features in details
- there is a need to deliver a Semantic Features in JeromeDL for Dummies kind of guide
- this deliverable will have to be delivered both in Polish and English (for the start)
- also current User Guide will be translated into Polish
- based on the Semantic Features in JeromeDL for Dummies a context help for JeromeDL will be delivered
[edit]
DjVu Support
- in short - DjVu, although requires proprietary software to produce the compatible images, has been widely adopted by the DL community - we must conform. However, the feature should be architected the same way the RTF2FO support was in old versions of JeromeDL - we need to make sure that JeromeDL stays 'independent of whether or not a library wants to use DjVu
- some links:
- http://djvu.sourceforge.net/

- http://www.math.duke.edu/~jonhanke/PDF2DJ/ [we will need that implementation for our converters in JDL]
- http://any2djvu.djvuzone.org/ [this one as well]
- http://lizardtech.com/download/dl_options.php?page=plugins [plugins !!]
[edit]
Integrate Social Semantic Search and Browsing component
to be delivered within S3B Working Group Project
- in short this deliverable will:
- refactor semantic query expansion and SSCF out of JeromeDL
- merge it together with MultiBeeBrowse into a S3B platform
- and link it back to allow search and browsing in JeromeDL
