Meeting Memory Technology Informing Collaboration (MEMETIC)
The Memetic project, funded under the JISC VRE programme (phase 1), develops a toolkit for recording meetings held over Internet-based video conferencing technologies (i.e. the Access Grid), and making these navigable in linear and nonlinear ways.
About Memetic
Meetings pervade the life of almost all researchers, and increasingly, these take the form of telephone and videoconferences amongst geographically dispersed colleagues. Supporting distributed meetings that are as productive as face-to-face meetings is a primary challenge for research and development in this field. This is the motivation for this project. The specific aim of memetic is to support asynchronous collaboration on the Access Grid.
The Access Grid? (AG) is an open collaboration and resource management architecture. This project aims to extend the functionality of the AG with advanced meeting support and information management tools that were developed and validated in the CoAKTinG project together with tools developed specifically for this project.
The project has a broad range of end-user partners representing a cross-section of communities, such as performance art, social science, Grid middleware development and minority communities.
Objectives
Provide extensions to the Compendium and Meeting Replay tools to make installation and administration simpler in both an AG and non-AG context
Develop a robust and functionally-enhanced AG recording tool (known as Arena)
Enable the use of Meeting Replay within an AG context by integrating Arena
Develop new means of automatic annotation (such as by Compendium node or person speaking) to provide easy and flexible navigation of AG meeting recordings
Fully involve end-user partners in requirements gathering, evaluation and testing of the software
