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

该奖项为2015-2016年秋季/冬季在罗得岛大学海洋学研究生院举行的为期2天的研讨会提供资金。本次研讨会将汇集科学界的利益相关者、视频录制专家、数据管理人员和元数据专家，以形成视频和补充元数据的共识和最佳实践，帮助社区实现广泛的公众访问分布式视频内容的共同目标，用于科学研究和公共宣传。视频图像是ROV、HOV和AUV水下作业的组成部分。这些数据对于海底作业期间的取样、勘探和观测活动至关重要，也是船上参与者在潜水后和巡航后立即进行研究的关键记录。视频档案有可能在数据获取后很长时间内提供广泛的重大科学效益，并具有吸引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，必须应对重大挑战，使视频档案能够被查阅，并包括足够的元数据，使用户能够查阅与其需要相关的内容。

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.
