This is to ask for support with a JISC-funded Scoping Study, being run by EDINA, which is exploring what it means to have aggregations of metadata about images, films/videos and sounds. It is also considering the benefits, challenges and potential services associated with such an aggregation. A one-page summary of the project which explains what we're trying to do, and why, is available at http://edina.ac.uk/projects/docs/Scoping_Study_One-page_Summary.pdf
We are at the information gathering phase and would like to hear from a wide range of people, particularly those who:
* Use images, films/videos or sounds in learning, teaching or research,
* Own, curate or manage collections (large and small) that contain images, films/videos or sounds, especially college departments who hold images or multimedia resources,
* Work with metadata or collections of metadata in other areas, for example in document or learning repositories or archives,
* Might be interested in developing collections of metadata for images and time-based media, or
* Might be interested in in developing services using collections of metadata, or in using collections of metadata e.g. in research.
We invite you to take part in the survey, available at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YHT8JNR, which should take between 10 and 25 minutes to complete depending on your answers.
Thanks, and kind regards,
The Project Team
