Dates: 17-18 May 2013
Our workshop: 17th May – 11:20 – 12:00

You can register through the website if the BISA.

In our workshop ON:meedi:a for music enthusiasts – Easy retrieval and publishing of audio will discuss the topic of “access, publication, distribution and user services” for audio by providing insights into the workflows the framework ON:meedi:a offers and show live how advanced search and retrieval possibilities can provide benefits to music archives.

ON:meedi:a’s web-based environment is user friendly and allows the re-use of media assets for different purposes, such as an event website, a blog presenting the artists an archive covers, and similar. Time-based annotations can further assist the selection of different artists in a live recording from a concert for example, then allowing direct access to the part of the video, which shows the relevant artist.

ON:meedi:a creates new opportunities for music content owners to exploit their digital assets and opens possibilities to create new ideas, new markets and new products.

Both events will be in German language and the topic of the tourism day is described on their website as follows: “Einst das imperiale Zentrum der Habsburgermonarchie war Österreich über Jahrhunderte hinweg lebendigen Einflüssen ausgesetzt. Die typische österreichische Kulinarik, unsere Kultur und unsere eigene Vergangenheit wurzeln in diesem Aufeinandertreffen unterschiedlicher Kulturen, Gewohnheiten und Geschichten. Was Österreich daraus gemacht hat, wie dieser kulturelle und kulinarische Reichtum für den Tourismus genutzt wird und wie auch Sie davon profitieren können – damit wollen wir uns gemeinsam mit Ihnen beim zweiten ÖW Tourismustag auseinandersetzen.”

 Snippet of the article

“83% of institutions have a digital collection, or is currently involved in digitisation activities. In the case of national libraries 100% have a digital collection. Of special libraries, only 75% has a digital collection (…)” [1]

The above statement taken from a recent study by the Enumerate project [2] shows that the amount of digital assets and collections is increasing and most cultural institutions have to maintain digital assets as part of their collection. This creates a growing need for suitable solutions to manage digital data, as well as finding ways for re-purposing assets in an online environment. Our solution ON:meedi:a is here to support you building customised, curated, cross-platform, content compilations. It provides a web-based ecosystem that serves all your needs in media asset management and publishing.
