Audio/video timecode indexing: from oral history to multi-faceted research Online
This presentation by Dr. Douglas Lambert will describe and explore strategies and tools for audio/video thematic timecode indexing. Like a book index, an a/v index provides a distilled, shorthand form of access for users. Key elements that evolved from indexing oral histories--segmentation, annotation, and controlled vocabulary—can be used to create layers of representative meaning (literal and non-literal) for a variety of user contexts. Leveraging developments in automatic transcription, I worked with an international research team to develop a novel timecode index-editing software, called TIM (Timecode Indexing Module). TIM allows users to edit and manage text resources and timecodes and create custom indexes for online multimedia interfaces. I’ll show how TIM functions and discuss some of its uses. See below, November 10th, for a follow-up workshop on indexing strategies and the use of TIM.
