Collaborative Research: Establishing Community Standards for Underwater Video Acquisition, Tagging, Archiving and Access.

该奖项为2015-2016秋冬在罗德岛大学海洋学研究生院举办的为期两天的研讨会提供资金。本次研讨会将汇集科学界利益相关者、视频录制专家、数据管理人员和元数据专家，为视频和补充元数据制定共识和最佳实践，以帮助推动科学界实现广泛的公众访问分布式视频内容以供科学研究和公众推广的共同目标。视频图像是用rov、hov和auv进行水下作业的一个组成部分。这些数据对于海底作业期间的采样、勘探和观测活动至关重要，也是船上参与者立即进行潜水后和巡航后研究的关键记录。视频档案有可能在数据采集后很长一段时间内提供广泛的重大科学效益，并具有使公众参与令人兴奋的海洋科学研究的巨大潜力。为了实现这一潜力，必须解决重大挑战，使视频档案变得可访问，并包括足够的元数据，使用户能够访问与其需求相关的内容。

This award provides funds for a 2-day workshop to be held at the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography in the Fall/Winter 2015-2016. This workshop will bring together science community stakeholders, video recording experts, and data managers and metadata specialists to develop consensus and best practices for video and complementary metadata to help move the community toward the common goal of broad public access to distributed video content for scientific research and public outreach.Video imagery is an integral part of underwater operations conducted with ROVs, HOVs, and AUVs. These data are critical for sampling, exploration, and observation activities during seafloor operations and are key records for immediate post-dive and post-cruise research by the shipboard participants. Video archives have the potential to provide broad significant scientific benefits long after data acquisition and have tremendous potential for engaging the public in exciting ocean science research. To achieve this potential, significant challenges must be addressed that will allow video archives to become accessible and include sufficient metadata to allow users to access the content relevant to their needs.
