Many thanks, everyone, for your help with this. There are quite a few useful looking leads for me to follow up here - I will be doing a bit of reading over the next few days!

The CAQDAS project at Surrey has been running for years - they offer training and reviews of products. The review that covers 8 packages and assesses them for multi-media support is here: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/sociology/research/researchcentres/caqdas/files/Using%20&%20Preparing%20multimedia%20data%20in%20CAQDAS.pdf General advice for analysing audio-visual data is here: http://www.surrey.ac.uk/sociology/research/researchcentres/caqdas/support/analysingvisual/index.htm There is a lot more as well. Best, Libby From: Research Data Management discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Angus Whyte Sent: 23 June 2015 09:52 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: assiging metadata to digital moving images Hi Jenni, There is a Jisc project called Clipper that may be close to what your researcher is looking for (details pasted below). There are a number of qualitative data analysis (CAQDAS) tools that support tagging of moving images in this way. More generally there's an excellent DPC guide on preserving moving images (1), and Jisc Digital Media (2) also provide a lot of useful guidance. The UK Data Service's guidance on reusing qualitative data (3) could be useful in this context. 1 http://www.dpconline.org/newsroom/not-so-new/859-new-dpc-tech-watch-report-preserving-moving-pictures-and-sound 2 http://www.jiscdigitalmedia.ac.uk/ 3 http://ukdataservice.ac.uk/use-data/secondary-analysis/reusing-qualitative-data Best wishes, Angus -- Dr Angus Whyte Senior Institutional Support Officer Digital Curation Centre University of Edinburgh On 23/06/2015 09:29, Jennifer Crossley wrote: Good morning I am hoping to pick your collective brains about an issue of which I have absolutely no knowledge or experience, namely assigning metadata to moving digital images. I am looking at this on 3 levels - project, file, and micro. The first two I would be able to apply general principles to (I hope, although any existing guidance on moving digital images would be welcome), it's the latter that is causing the difficulty. I am wondering, does anyone have any experience of working in this kind of way? Essentially the researcher would like to be able to take a moving digital recording and then edit it to add "tags" possibly on a frame by frame basis, in order to be able to later interrogate the data at a very detailed level, e.g. to search for specific scenarios such as "facial change", or whatever. I feel that this might be beyond the remit of this list, but if you have any ideas I would love to hear them. Many thanks as ever, and best wishes, Jenni -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: JISC Clipper Project: Audio Visual Media Research Toolkit Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2015 11:55:35 +0100 From: John Casey Gmail <[log in to unmask]><mailto:[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: John Casey Gmail <[log in to unmask]><mailto:[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Clipper: Enhancing Time Based Media for Research A collaboration between The City of Glasgow College, The Open University and Reachwill Ltd., Funded by Jisc Request for Comment / Feedback Dear Colleagues The toolkit is initially aimed at researchers who use audio visual media and those who need to curate / manage the audio visual research research data that is generated (research data management now being a general requirement of research funding). We are in discussions with a wide number of organisations including the BBC R&D and the British Library (Audio Archive) and the National Library of Scotland (Scottish Screen Archives). We are developing a free and open source software toolkit to support researchers in all disciplines who work with audio-visual media and invite you to view our website and blog and visit an online early prototype to get your reactions and comments. We need to know if this proposed toolkit would be of use to you and your colleagues, if possible by Friday the 19th of June. We would also really appreciate any feedback and comments you have about our work so far and will be very happy to discuss this further with you via email / Skype / phone etc. You can also leave comments at the online Demo site listed below. For a quick orientation here is a summary of the Clipper toolkit from our online brochure: "Clipper is a free open-source web application enabling researchers to create and share virtual-clips without altering the original media files. Clipper enables you to mark the start and end of interesting events while playing audio or video data files through a standard web browser. You can add rich text annotations to each clip, and combine clips into playlists (cliplists)." Here are some web links that provide more information about the project: Clipper Brochure: https://clippertube.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/clipper-brochure-a4.pdf Online Demo site: http://clippertube.com<http://clippertube.com/> Screen Movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cycVZSSdSho About the Clipper project: https://clippertube.wordpress.com/about-clipper/ The Jisc funding programme: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/rd/get-involved/research-data-spring Research data management: For those colleagues who are particularly concerned with the management of research data we would like to draw their attention to this blog post: https://clippertube.wordpress.com/2015/05/10/clipper-the-benefits-for-the-research-data-lifecycle/ Best Wishes John Casey Clipper Project Manager Libraries & Learning Technology City of Glasgow College 60 North Hanover Street Glasgow G1 2BP Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Tel: 07982 322404 Skype: jcasey_digitalinsite -- Dr Angus Whyte Senior Institutional Support Officer Digital Curation Centre University of Edinburgh Crichton St, Edinburgh EH8 9LE +44-131-650-9986 The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
