Collaborative Research Events on the Web (CREW)
CREW aims to improve access to research event content by capturing and publishing the scholarly communication that occurs at events like conferences and workshops. It builds on the success of two JISC Phase 1 VRE projects, Iugo and Memetic and is funded under the second phase of the JISC VRE programm.
Iugo has developed a semantic web application that organises and allows access to the disparate content and information related to conferences and workshops. Memetic has developed a tool that records and annotates Access Grid sessions allowing flexible and navigable playback. The integration and development of these tools will enable presentations and other types of sessions to be recorded and automatically annotated to become discoverable in context, enabling powerful, single-point multimedia searches across distributed conference and related research data. Searches will yield results within written documents such as abstracts and papers and also in rich audio-visual content, such as clips from presentations.
An emphasis lies in developing and integrating these technologies and embedding them in a variety of authentic research settings, in close collaboration with the users. The user groups in the project include Intute, a national JISC service to provide access to web resources for research to UK universities, the international scientific research groups SIGGRAPH UK Professional Chapter & Eurographics UK Chapter based in Manchester , and the Institute of Health Sciences , which promotes health sciences research in Manchester . Integration of Iugo and Memetic technologies will enable the capture of the scholarly communication that occurs at research events (e.g. conferences and workshops) to create lasting research resources from material that is often ephemeral.Project Partners
