[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfEmUMMfggu7O8XqEH_-n3a1Cq17fgfAKktmxCRWa63-xkumw/viewform Sign up!] As this will be a highly participatory event, registration is limited to those willing to get their hands dirty, so no onlookers please.<br />
<br />
REMOTE PARTICIPATION will be available this year! Check in using the IRC channel and stay tuned to sign up for a project. You can then work offline/independently with your group in whatever way is easiest (video chat, chat, etc).<br />
<br />
If you are unsure whether you can or want to participate in the hack day itself, you can still see the results by attending the AMIA closing plenary, where hack day projects will be presented, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote on their favorites.<br />
<br />
==What will be the format of the event?==<br />
<br />
In advance of the hack day, project ideas and edit-a-thon topics will be collected through the registration form and the event wiki. In advance of the event, participants will review and discuss submitted project ideas. We’ll then break into groups consisting of technologists and practitioners, and Wikipedia editors, selecting an idea or topic(s) to work on together for the day and (if desired) throughout the duration of the AMIA conference in the developers lounge.<br />
<br />
The day itself will be structured something like this. Coffee/tea will be provided. Lunch is on your own.<br />
<br />
'''9am''' – Welcome, introductions<br />
<br />
'''9:30 - noon''' - Hacking & doc editing. Coffee and minimal snacks. <br />
<br />
'''Noon-1pm''' – Lunch on your own.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''4:30 - 5''' - Wrap up.<br />
<br />
==Judging & presenting projects==<br />
<br />
At least one representative from each project group needs to be present for the demonstration of Hack Day projects to jurors on '''TIME & DATE TK'''. Judging typically lasts for approximately 1.5 -2 hours. Snacks and drinks are encouraged.<br />
<br />
Projects will be presented to attendees in a session on '''TIME & DATE TK''', where the jury will announce winners and attendees will vote on their favorite project.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
In association with the annual conference, the Association of Moving Image Archivists will host its 4th annual hack day on November 9h in Portland, OR. The event will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and managers of digital audiovisual collections to join with developers and engineers for an intense day of collaboration to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access. This year, we will be holding a concurrent Wikipedia Edit-a-thon[http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon_How-To] for those interested in adding to knowledge pool about audiovisual preservation and access. It will be fun and practical. <br />
<br />
AMIA is once again thrilled to partner with the [http://www.clir.org/dlf/ Digital Library Federation] in organizing the hack day. <br />
<br />
==What if I’m not a developer?==<br />
<br />
Content managers and preservation practitioners are as central to the success of the event as having keen developers. YOU will be responsible for setting the agenda and the outcomes. The goal is to foster collaboration between audiovisual preservation specialists and technologists, to solve problems together and share expertise.<br />
<br />
<!-- There is also a HACK THE DOCS stream, which includes a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, creating or updating tool documentation, or reviewing and improving policy or procedural documentation. So even if you're not a developer, nor feel compelled to lend your digital preservation ideas to software and code development, you can contribute to creating new or updated content for the benefit of our community! You can read all about Wikipedia edit-a-thon events [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon here]. --><br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
<br />
==What is a hack day?==<br />
<br />
A hack day or hackathon is an event that brings together computer technologists and practitioners for an intense period of problem solving through computer programming. Within digital preservation and curation communities, hack days provide an opportunity for archivists, collection managers, and others to work together with technologists to develop software solutions for digital collections management needs. Hack days have been held independently by groups such as the Open Planets Foundation, as well as in association with preservation and access oriented conferences including Open Repositories and Museums and the Web.<br />
<br />
The manifesto of a recent event at the Open Repositories conference framed the benefits this way:<br />
“Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams...The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones. Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development...Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier.”<br />
<br />
==Our Manifesto==<br />
<br />
Manifesto:<br />
* Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams over individual brilliance and/or groups of like individuals in cut-throat competition.<br />
* The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones <br />
* Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development over purely developer driven projects.<br />
* Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier (meaning not working on a project you are working on during your day job)<br />

<br />
REMOTE PARTICIPATION will be available this year! Check in using the IRC channel and stay tuned to sign up for a project. You can then work offline/independently with your group in whatever way is easiest (video chat, chat, etc).<br />
<br />
If you are unsure whether you can or want to participate in the hack day itself, you can still see the results by attending the AMIA closing plenary, where hack day projects will be presented, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote on their favorites.<br />
<br />
==What will be the format of the event?==<br />
<br />
In advance of the hack day, project ideas and edit-a-thon topics will be collected through the registration form and the event wiki. In advance of the event, participants will review and discuss submitted project ideas. We’ll then break into groups consisting of technologists and practitioners, and Wikipedia editors, selecting an idea or topic(s) to work on together for the day and (if desired) throughout the duration of the AMIA conference in the developers lounge.<br />
<br />
The day itself will be structured something like this. Coffee/tea will be provided. Lunch is on your own.<br />
<br />
'''9am''' – Welcome, introductions<br />
<br />
'''9:30 - noon''' - Hacking & doc editing. Coffee and minimal snacks. <br />

<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
In association with the annual conference, the Association of Moving Image Archivists will host its 4th annual hack day on November 9h in Portland, OR. The event will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and managers of digital audiovisual collections to join with developers and engineers for an intense day of collaboration to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access. This year, we will be holding a concurrent Wikipedia Edit-a-thon[http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon_How-To] for those interested in adding to knowledge pool about audiovisual preservation and access. It will be fun and practical. <br />

==What is a hack day?==<br />
<br />
A hack day or hackathon is an event that brings together computer technologists and practitioners for an intense period of problem solving through computer programming. Within digital preservation and curation communities, hack days provide an opportunity for archivists, collection managers, and others to work together with technologists to develop software solutions for digital collections management needs. Hack days have been held independently by groups such as the Open Planets Foundation, as well as in association with preservation and access oriented conferences including Open Repositories and Museums and the Web.<br />
<br />
The manifesto of a recent event at the Open Repositories conference framed the benefits this way:<br />
“Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams...The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones. Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development...Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier.”<br />
<br />
==Our Manifesto==<br />
<br />
Manifesto:<br />
* Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams over individual brilliance and/or groups of like individuals in cut-throat competition.<br />
* The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones <br />
* Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development over purely developer driven projects.<br />
* Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier (meaning not working on a project you a working on during your day job)<br />

<br />
A hack day or hackathon is an event that brings together computer technologists and practitioners for an intense period of problem solving through computer programming. Within digital preservation and curation communities, hack days provide an opportunity for archivists, collection managers, and others to work together with technologists to develop software solutions for digital collections management needs.

<br />
====TMS mySQL to RDF mapping====<br />
I would like to try and map then transform MySQL tables (hopefully TMS but another could be used) into RDF triples, documenting what steps need to be taken, what information is required to make a triple, what RDF format (turtle, XML etc) might be the easiest to use, etc. <br />
– @laurensx<br />
<br />
====Timecode annotation tool====<br />
For either restoration projects of reporting QC errors<br />
<br />
====Scripts for using wget that retain organizational metadata====<br />
<br />
====DPX header metadata====<br />
Our project is about better editing/writing of DPX header metadata. We would like to focus on:<br />
** enabling more complete metadata editing of all header fields in the DPX standard. Commercially available tools like Pomfort DPX Header Editor do not have this ability.<br />
** batch editing of these header fields<br />
** enable embedding of individual file checksum values into a/some header fields of those individual DPX files<br />
<br />
We think this would be a great project for any archive working (or planning on working) with DPX files. Hopefully the project could be the beginnings of a tool such as BWF MetaEdit<br />

<br />
====OpenRefine-related work?====<br />
— @@jy_kim29<br />
<br />
==== MiniDV integration into last year's hackday project, vrecord ====<br />
<br />
Being able to extend vrecord's capabilities beyond BlackMagic by adding support for firewire-based media connections would help on-the-fly Mac-based migration stations. A caveat to this being a functional project is that we'd need a working MiniDV deck and I'm not willing to tote one across the country with me. But I love you. Kinda.<br />
— @ablwr<br />
<br />
==== Re-equalizing WAVs ====<br />
I was recently given a Windows application that re-equalizes wav files that were transferred from their original magnetic audio carriers at the wrong speed (sometimes necessary). It's 32-bit only, though, so I can't use it. Came with the original Forth source code, so my project idea would be to either make a 64-bit version (which I could probly learn on my own) or port it to something more, uh, widely used so that maybe it could find a wider audience. Originally developed by Jay McKnight, formerly of Ampex, now Magnetic Reference Labs.<br />
— @CoatesBrendan<br />
<br />
==== PBCore/SIP Comparison ====<br />
<br />
A PBCore/SIP comparison. Basically using a PBCore XML record to build a manifest of files and compare the technical data of the metadata record with the actual files. This could use MediaInfo on files mentioned listed in the XML. <br />
- Henry Borchers<br />
<br />
==== Exporting OpenRefine clusters for review ====<br />
<br />
Take JSON revision history from OpenRefine and export to a CSV with an Cluster ID. This would allow you to review the recommended clusters and be better informed / make decisions when choosing between terms from a messy data set. The output (maybe just CSV?) would be ClusterID,data so that you can print out or sort by ID to see all "similar" data according to OpenRefine's super powerful algorithms. <br />
<br />
— @kgronsbell<br />
<br />
==== Updated PBCore Validator ====<br />
<br />
Continue the work on last year's [http://wiki.curatecamp.org/index.php/Association_of_Moving_Image_Archivists_%26_Digital_Library_Federation_Hack_Day_2014#New_and_Improved_PBCore_Tools PBcore Tools] project, incorporating PBCore 2.1 and improving documentation and usability<br />
<br />

<br />
==== HACK THE DOCS (with some light hacking): ffmprovsr ====<br />
<br />
OK OK OK, just putting out some feelers here. I worked on ffmpeg documentation [https://github.com/amiaopensource/ffmpeg/wiki] during the first hack day and last year I hastily built an app that exists as a guide/command line generator for ffmpeg [http://ablwr.github.io/ffmprovisr/] and I think it'd be fun to combine and continue to build up these two projects into something better because ffmpeg continues to live on as a mysterious but necessary component of a/v archival practice. This project would be mostly R&D with some basic front-end web development skills (building forms). I feel this is a little out of the scope of hack day (and those greedy for rewards may seek refuge elsewhere) in that it's more of a REMIX project and a mostly-hack-the-docs-with-some-coding project, but if there is interest (there was last year, for ffmprovisr) -- we will build the hell outta this!<br />
<br />
@ablwr<br />
<br />
====HACK THE DOCS: OAIS Edit-a-thon====<br />
— @shirapeltzman<br />
<br />
I'd like to propose an OAIS review/revise-a-thon for Hack Day, wherein a group of us could contribute to the OAIS Community Forum Wiki hosted by the DPC.<br />
<br />
Since its approval in 2002 as an ISO standard (14721), the OAIS reference model has become a--if not the--foundational text for the majority of digital preservation research and resource development.

The Digital Preservation Coalition has responded to these shifts by issuing an open to call to "review and reform" the OAIS standard in advance of its upcoming ISO review in 2017. The opportunity to contribute to this process presents us with a unique opportunity to ensure our voices/concerns heard as moving image archivists and make an impact on OAIS' next iteration.<br />

<br />
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1OtYQvWawEkS25hI9n5v8NLGZStEHJZ4tOEPBcadqPtM/viewform Sign up!] As this will be a highly participatory event, registration is limited to those willing to get their hands dirty, so no onlookers please.<br />
<br />
If you are unsure whether you can or want to participate in the hack day itself, you can still see the results by attending the AMIA closing plenary, where hack day projects will be presented, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote on their favorites. <br />
<br />
==What will be the format of the event?==<br />
<br />
In advance of the hack day, project ideas and edit-a-thon topics will be collected through the registration form and the event wiki. In advance of the event, participants will review and discuss submitted project ideas. We’ll then break into groups consisting of technologists and practitioners, and Wikipedia editors, selecting an idea or topic(s) to work on together for the day and (if desired) throughout the duration of the AMIA conference in the developers lounge.<br />
<br />
The day itself will be structured something like this. Coffee/tea will be provided. Lunch is on your own.<br />
<br />
'''9am''' – Welcome, introductions<br />
<br />
'''9:30 - noon''' - Hacking & doc editing. Coffee and minimal snacks. <br />

<br />
==Judging & presenting projects==<br />
<br />
At least one representative from each project group needs to be present for the demonstration of Hack Day projects to jurors on '''Friday, November 20, at 6:45 pm in the Hack Day Lounge (Parlor A)''', immediately following the Fair Use open session. Judging typically lasts for approximately 1.5 -2 hours. Snacks and drinks are encouraged.<br />
<br />
Projects will be presented to attendees in a session on '''Saturday, 11:30am-12:00pm in Galleria South''', where the jury will announce winners and attendees will vote on their favorite project.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
In association with the annual conference, the Association of Moving Image Archivists will host its 3nd annual hack day on November 18th in Portland, OR. The event will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and managers of digital audiovisual collections to join with developers and engineers for an intense day of collaboration to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access. This year, we will be holding a concurrent Wikipedia Edit-a-thon[http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon_How-To] for those interested in adding to knowledge pool about audiovisual preservation and access. It will be fun and practical. <br />
<br />
AMIA is once again thrilled to partner with the [http://www.clir.org/dlf/ Digital Library Federation] in organizing the hack day. <br />
<br />
==What if I’m not a developer?==<br />
<br />
Content managers and preservation practitioners are as central to the success of the event as having keen developers. YOU will be responsible for setting the agenda and the outcomes. The goal is to foster collaboration between audiovisual preservation specialists and technologists, to solve problems together and share expertise.<br />
<br />
There is also a HACK THE DOCS stream, which includes a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, creating or updating tool documentation, or reviewing and improving policy or procedural documentation. So even if you're not a developer, nor feel compelled to lend your digital preservation ideas to software and code development, you can contribute to creating new or updated content for the benefit of our community! You can read all about Wikipedia edit-a-thon events [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon here].<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
<br />
==What is a hack day?==<br />
<br />
A hack day or hackathon is an event that brings together computer technologists and practitioners for an intense period of problem solving through computer programming. Within digital preservation and curation communities, hack days provide an opportunity for archivists, collection managers, and others to work together with technologists to develop software solutions for digital collections management needs. Hack days have been held independently by groups such as the Open Planets Foundation, as well as in association with preservation and access oriented conferences including Open Repositories and Museums and the Web.<br />
<br />
The manifesto of a recent event at the Open Repositories conference framed the benefits this way:<br />
“Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams...The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones. Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development...Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier.”<br />
<br />
==Our Manifesto==<br />
<br />
Manifesto:<br />
* Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams over individual brilliance and/or groups of like individuals in cut-throat competition.<br />
* The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones <br />
* Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development over purely developer driven projects.<br />
* Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier (meaning not working on a project you a working on during your day job)<br />
<br />
=Prospective Hack Day Projects=<br />
<br />
Below are loose ideas for projects, drawn from the initial suggestions of registrants. If you have a new project idea, or are interested in one of the project stubs below, [http://wiki.curatecamp.org/index.php/Special:RequestAccount sign up for a wiki login] and add your thoughtful comments or possible starting points to the proposal, or contact the proposer via twitter.<br />
<br />
'''On Thursday, November 12 at 8pm Eastern we'll have a Google Hangout to brainstorm further and consolidate like-minded projects, link below!<br />

====TMS mySQL to RDF mapping====<br />
I would like to try and map then transform MySQL tables (hopefully TMS but another could be used) into RDF triples, documenting what steps need to be taken, what information is required to make a triple, what RDF format (turtle, XML etc) might be the easiest to use, etc. <br />
– @laurensx<br />
<br />
====Timecode annotation tool====<br />
For either restoration projects of reporting QC errors<br />
<br />
====Scripts for using wget that retain organizational metadata====<br />
<br />
====DPX header metadata====<br />
Our project is about better editing/writing of DPX header metadata. We would like to focus on:<br />
** enabling more complete metadata editing of all header fields in the DPX standard. Commercially available tools like Pomfort DPX Header Editor do not have this ability.<br />
** batch editing of these header fields<br />
** enable embedding of individual file checksum values into a/some header fields of those individual DPX files<br />
<br />
We think this would be a great project for any archive working (or planning on working) with DPX files. Hopefully the project could be the beginnings of a tool such as BWF MetaEdit<br />

<br />
====OpenRefine-related work?====<br />
— @@jy_kim29<br />
<br />
==== MiniDV integration into last year's hackday project, vrecord ====<br />
<br />
Being able to extend vrecord's capabilities beyond BlackMagic by adding support for firewire-based media connections would help on-the-fly Mac-based migration stations. A caveat to this being a functional project is that we'd need a working MiniDV deck and I'm not willing to tote one across the country with me. But I love you. Kinda.<br />
— @ablwr<br />
<br />
==== Re-equalizing WAVs ====<br />
I was recently given a Windows application that re-equalizes wav files that were transferred from their original magnetic audio carriers at the wrong speed (sometimes necessary). It's 32-bit only, though, so I can't use it. Came with the original Forth source code, so my project idea would be to either make a 64-bit version (which I could probly learn on my own) or port it to something more, uh, widely used so that maybe it could find a wider audience. Originally developed by Jay McKnight, formerly of Ampex, now Magnetic Reference Labs.<br />
— @CoatesBrendan<br />
<br />
==== PBCore/SIP Comparison ====<br />
<br />
A PBCore/SIP comparison. Basically using a PBCore XML record to build a manifest of files and compare the technical data of the metadata record with the actual files. This could use MediaInfo on files mentioned listed in the XML. <br />
- Henry Borchers<br />
<br />
==== Exporting OpenRefine clusters for review ====<br />
<br />
Take JSON revision history from OpenRefine and export to a CSV with an Cluster ID. This would allow you to review the recommended clusters and be better informed / make decisions when choosing between terms from a messy data set. The output (maybe just CSV?) would be ClusterID,data so that you can print out or sort by ID to see all "similar" data according to OpenRefine's super powerful algorithms. <br />
<br />
— @kgronsbell<br />
<br />
==== Updated PBCore Validator ====<br />
<br />
Continue the work on last year's [http://wiki.curatecamp.org/index.php/Association_of_Moving_Image_Archivists_%26_Digital_Library_Federation_Hack_Day_2014#New_and_Improved_PBCore_Tools PBcore Tools] project, incorporating PBCore 2.1 and improving documentation and usability<br />

<br />
==== HACK THE DOCS (with some light hacking): ffmprovsr ====<br />
<br />
OK OK OK, just putting out some feelers here. I worked on ffmpeg documentation [https://github.com/amiaopensource/ffmpeg/wiki] during the first hack day and last year I hastily built an app that exists as a guide/command line generator for ffmpeg [http://ablwr.github.io/ffmprovisr/] and I think it'd be fun to combine and continue to build up these two projects into something better because ffmpeg continues to live on as a mysterious but necessary component of a/v archival practice. This project would be mostly R&D with some basic front-end web development skills (building forms). I feel this is a little out of the scope of hack day (and those greedy for rewards may seek refuge elsewhere) in that it's more of a REMIX project and a mostly-hack-the-docs-with-some-coding project, but if there is interest (there was last year, for ffmprovisr) -- we will build the hell outta this!<br />
<br />
@ablwr<br />
<br />
====HACK THE DOCS: OAIS Edit-a-thon====<br />
— @shirapeltzman<br />
<br />
I'd like to propose an OAIS review/revise-a-thon for Hack Day, wherein a group of us could contribute to the OAIS Community Forum Wiki hosted by the DPC.<br />
<br />
Since its approval in 2002 as an ISO standard (14721), the OAIS reference model has become a--if not the--foundational text for the majority of digital preservation research and resource development. Since then the digital preservation community has grown significantly, sparking an expanded understanding of what precisely constitutes "digital preservation". The Digital Preservation Coalition has responded to these shifts by issuing an open to call to "review and reform" the OAIS standard in advance of its upcoming ISO review in 2017.

<br />
If you are unsure whether you can or want to participate in the hack day itself, you can still see the results by attending the AMIA closing plenary, where hack day projects will be presented, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote on their favorites. <br />
<br />
==What will be the format of the event?==<br />
<br />
In advance of the hack day, project ideas and edit-a-thon topics will be collected through the registration form and the event wiki. In advance of the event, participants will review and discuss submitted project ideas. We’ll then break into groups consisting of technologists and practitioners, and Wikipedia editors, selecting an idea or topic(s) to work on together for the day and (if desired) throughout the duration of the AMIA conference in the developers lounge.<br />
<br />
The day itself will be structured something like this. Coffee/tea will be provided. Lunch is on your own.<br />
<br />
'''9am''' – Welcome, introductions<br />
<br />
'''9:30 - noon''' - Hacking & doc editing. Coffee and minimal snacks. <br />
<br />
'''Noon-1pm''' – Lunch on your own.<br />
<br />
'''1 - 4:30''' - Hacking & doc editing. Coffee and minimal snacks.<br />
<br />
'''4:30 - 5''' - Wrap up.<br />

Projects will be presented towards the end of the conference. Projects will be judged by a panel as well as by conference attendees.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
In association with the annual conference, the Association of Moving Image Archivists will host its 3nd annual hack day on November 18th in Portland, OR. The event will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and managers of digital audiovisual collections to join with developers and engineers for an intense day of collaboration to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access. This year, we will be holding a concurrent Wikipedia Edit-a-thon[http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon_How-To] for those interested in adding to knowledge pool about audiovisual preservation and access. It will be fun and practical. <br />
<br />
AMIA is once again thrilled to partner with the [http://www.clir.org/dlf/ Digital Library Federation] in organizing the hack day. <br />
<br />
==What if I’m not a developer?==<br />
<br />
Content managers and preservation practitioners are as central to the success of the event as having keen developers. YOU will be responsible for setting the agenda and the outcomes. The goal is to foster collaboration between audiovisual preservation specialists and technologists, to solve problems together and share expertise.<br />
<br />
There is also a HACK THE DOCS stream, which includes a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, creating or updating tool documentation, or reviewing and improving policy or procedural documentation. So even if you're not a developer, nor feel compelled to lend your digital preservation ideas to software and code development, you can contribute to creating new or updated content for the benefit of our community! You can read all about Wikipedia edit-a-thon events [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon here].<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
<br />
==What is a hack day?==<br />
<br />
A hack day or hackathon is an event that brings together computer technologists and practitioners for an intense period of problem solving through computer programming. Within digital preservation and curation communities, hack days provide an opportunity for archivists, collection managers, and others to work together with technologists to develop software solutions for digital collections management needs. Hack days have been held independently by groups such as the Open Planets Foundation, as well as in association with preservation and access oriented conferences including Open Repositories and Museums and the Web.<br />
<br />
The manifesto of a recent event at the Open Repositories conference framed the benefits this way:<br />
“Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams...The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones. Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development...Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier.”<br />
<br />
==Our Manifesto==<br />
<br />
Manifesto:<br />
* Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams over individual brilliance and/or groups of like individuals in cut-throat competition.<br />
* The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones <br />
* Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development over purely developer driven projects.<br />
* Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier (meaning not working on a project you a working on during your day job)<br />

Below are loose ideas for projects, drawn from the initial suggestions of registrants. If you have a new project idea, or are interested in one of the project stubs below, [http://wiki.curatecamp.org/index.php/Special:RequestAccount sign up for a wiki login] and add your thoughtful comments or possible starting points to the proposal, or contact the proposer via twitter.<br />

====TMS mySQL to RDF mapping====<br />
I would like to try and map then transform MySQL tables (hopefully TMS but another could be used) into RDF triples, documenting what steps need to be taken, what information is required to make a triple, what RDF format (turtle, XML etc) might be the easiest to use, etc. <br />
– @laurensx<br />
<br />
====Timecode annotation tool====<br />
For either restoration projects of reporting QC errors<br />
<br />
====Scripts for using wget that retain organizational metadata====<br />
<br />
====DPX header metadata====<br />
Our project is about better editing/writing of DPX header metadata. We would like to focus on:<br />
** enabling more complete metadata editing of all header fields in the DPX standard. Commercially available tools like Pomfort DPX Header Editor do not have this ability.<br />
** batch editing of these header fields<br />
** enable embedding of individual file checksum values into a/some header fields of those individual DPX files<br />
<br />
We think this would be a great project for any archive working (or planning on working) with DPX files. Hopefully the project could be the beginnings of a tool such as BWF MetaEdit<br />

<br />
==== MiniDV integration into last year's hackday project, vrecord ====<br />
<br />
Being able to extend vrecord's capabilities beyond BlackMagic by adding support for firewire-based media connections would help on-the-fly Mac-based migration stations. A caveat to this being a functional project is that we'd need a working MiniDV deck and I'm not willing to tote one across the country with me. But I love you. Kinda.<br />

<br />
==== Re-equalizing WAVs ====<br />
I was recently given a Windows application that re-equalizes wav files that were transferred from their original magnetic audio carriers at the wrong speed (sometimes necessary). It's 32-bit only, though, so I can't use it. Came with the original Forth source code, so my project idea would be to either make a 64-bit version (which I could probly learn on my own) or port it to something more, uh, widely used so that maybe it could find a wider audience. Originally developed by Jay McKnight, formerly of Ampex, now Magnetic Reference Labs.<br />

<br />
==== HACK THE DOCS (with some light hacking): ffmprovsr ====<br />
<br />
OK OK OK, just putting out some feelers here. I worked on ffmpeg documentation [https://github.com/amiaopensource/ffmpeg/wiki] during the first hack day and last year I hastily built an app that exists as a guide/command line generator for ffmpeg [http://ablwr.github.io/ffmprovisr/] and I think it'd be fun to combine and continue to build up these two projects into something better because ffmpeg continues to live on as a mysterious but necessary component of a/v archival practice. This project would be mostly R&D with some basic front-end web development skills (building forms). I feel this is a little out of the scope of hack day (and those greedy for rewards may seek refuge elsewhere) in that it's more of a REMIX project and a mostly-hack-the-docs-with-some-coding project, but if there is interest (there was last year, for ffmprovisr) -- we will build the hell outta this!<br />

<br />
====HACK THE DOCS: OAIS Edit-a-thon====<br />
— @shirapeltzman<br />
<br />
I'd like to propose an OAIS review/revise-a-thon for Hack Day, wherein a group of us could contribute to the OAIS Community Forum Wiki hosted by the DPC.<br />
<br />
Since its approval in 2002 as an ISO standard (14721), the OAIS reference model has become a--if not the--foundational text for the majority of digital preservation research and resource development. Since then the digital preservation community has grown significantly, sparking an expanded understanding of what precisely constitutes "digital preservation". The Digital Preservation Coalition has responded to these shifts by issuing an open to call to "review and reform" the OAIS standard in advance of its upcoming ISO review in 2017. The opportunity to contribute to this process presents us with a unique opportunity to ensure our voices/concerns heard as moving image archivists and make an impact on OAIS' next iteration.<br />

====TMS mySQL to RDF mapping====<br />
I would like to try and map then transform MySQL tables (hopefully TMS but another could be used) into RDF triples, documenting what steps need to be taken, what information is required to make a triple, what RDF format (turtle, XML etc) might be the easiest to use, etc. <br />

====Scripts for using wget that retain organizational metadata====<br />
<br />
====DPX header metadata====<br />
Our project is about better editing/writing of DPX header metadata. We would like to focus on:<br />
** enabling more complete metadata editing of all header fields in the DPX standard. Commercially available tools like Pomfort DPX Header Editor do not have this ability.<br />
** batch editing of these header fields<br />
** enable embedding of individual file checksum values into a/some header fields of those individual DPX files<br />
<br />
We think this would be a great project for any archive working (or planning on working) with DPX files. Hopefully the project could be the beginnings of a tool such as BWF MetaEdit<br />

<br />
If you are unsure whether you can or want to participate in the hack day itself, you can still see the results by attending the AMIA closing plenary, where hack day projects will be presented, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote on their favorites. <br />
<br />
==What will be the format of the event?==<br />
<br />
In advance of the hack day, project ideas and edit-a-thon topics will be collected through the registration form and the event wiki. In advance of the event, participants will review and discuss submitted project ideas. We’ll then break into groups consisting of technologists and practitioners, and Wikipedia editors, selecting an idea or topic(s) to work on together for the day and (if desired) throughout the duration of the AMIA conference in the developers lounge.<br />
<br />
The day itself will be structured something like this. Coffee/tea will be provided. Lunch is on your own.<br />
<br />
'''9am''' – Welcome, introductions<br />
<br />
'''9:30 - noon''' - Hacking & doc editing. Coffee and minimal snacks. <br />
<br />

<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
In association with the annual conference, the Association of Moving Image Archivists will host its 3nd annual hack day on November 18th in Portland, OR. The event will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and managers of digital audiovisual collections to join with developers and engineers for an intense day of collaboration to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access. This year, we will be holding a concurrent Wikipedia Edit-a-thon[http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon_How-To] for those interested in adding to knowledge pool about audiovisual preservation and access. It will be fun and practical. <br />
<br />
AMIA is once again thrilled to partner with the [http://www.clir.org/dlf/ Digital Library Federation] in organizing the hack day. <br />
<br />
==What if I’m not a developer?==<br />
<br />
Content managers and preservation practitioners are as central to the success of the event as having keen developers. YOU will be responsible for setting the agenda and the outcomes. The goal is to foster collaboration between audiovisual preservation specialists and technologists, to solve problems together and share expertise.<br />
<br />
There is also a HACK THE DOCS stream, which includes a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, creating or updating tool documentation, or reviewing and improving policy or procedural documentation. So even if you're not a developer, nor feel compelled to lend your digital preservation ideas to software and code development, you can contribute to creating new or updated content for the benefit of our community! You can read all about Wikipedia edit-a-thon events [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon here].<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
<br />
==What is a hack day?==<br />
<br />
A hack day or hackathon is an event that brings together computer technologists and practitioners for an intense period of problem solving through computer programming. Within digital preservation and curation communities, hack days provide an opportunity for archivists, collection managers, and others to work together with technologists to develop software solutions for digital collections management needs. Hack days have been held independently by groups such as the Open Planets Foundation, as well as in association with preservation and access oriented conferences including Open Repositories and Museums and the Web.<br />
<br />
The manifesto of a recent event at the Open Repositories conference framed the benefits this way:<br />
“Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams...The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones. Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development...Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier.”<br />
<br />
==Our Manifesto==<br />
<br />
Manifesto:<br />
* Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams over individual brilliance and/or groups of like individuals in cut-throat competition.<br />
* The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones <br />
* Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development over purely developer driven projects.<br />
* Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier (meaning not working on a project you a working on during your day job)<br />

** Shai Drori, Independent<br />
<br />
Adding a GUI with XCode and adding some features to vrecord, an open source tool that can be used with Blackmagic hardware. Making it so it is controlled by the GUI (Mac), outputting to MOV container with various options for codec: uncompressed, FFV1, motion JPEG-2000, Prores. <br />

<br />
== New and Improved PBCore Tools ==<br />
<br />
This team is creating two PBCore 2.0 tools which can easily be updated when the next PBCore schema version is released. The tools include an updated PBCore XML record validator and PBCore XML record generator.<br />
<br />
'''PBCore Validator''' <br />
<br />
Updated and replaced application components to create an improved version based on the PBCore 2.0 XML. We are also including a Dublin Core validator through the same web application. Github Repo: https://github.com/tessafallon/pbcorevalidator/<br />
<br />
'''PBCore Record Generator'''<br />
<br />
We built a basic Rails webform and extracted the PBCore export code from the WGBH project HydraDAM developed by WGBH and DCE so that we have a lightweight web application to enter metadata based on the PBCore data model and export in well-formed PBCore 2.0 XML. We are also planning to provide a Dublin Core export via this form. View it: http://pb-form.curationexperts.com/ Github repo: github.com/mark-dce/pb-form/<br />

==Development of a UUID (universally unique identifier - String or Number) system for moving image physical/digital elements==<br />
There will be a UUID registrar. The registrar server would hold the UUID and pointer to metadata/item information. This would allow a wide range of possible usages from access information to relational trees. Because we do not want to limit this assignment for elements where there is no internet access there will be a system similar to MAC addresses/UPCs where a registered archivist/lab/individual could be given a UUID blocks for assignment offline and then register later online without collision. The UUID could be made into a 1D or 2D bar code or human readable marking on the element for instant access through the server pointer to metadata on the content and physical item. <br />

==Video Characterization Comparison Viewer==<br />
The tool runs multiple command line video characterization applications (ffprobe, mediainfo, exiftool) on a given AV file/set of files and outputs the results in a format that is easy for comparative analysis. The aim of the tool is to identify differences in the outputs of these common applications, with the goal of better understanding the tools, and possibly submitting reports to their developers and eventually improving them.<br />
<br />
'''Use cases for the tool'''<br />
* Compare different tool outputs in order to determine what tool to use in your characterization workflows<br />
* Reporting on differences in order to understand how the tool calculates the outputs<br />
* Identifying bugs in order to report to the tool developers<br />
<br />
This project build on a similar project that was developed during the Open Repositories 2014 Developer Challenge (although the #AVHack14 version is bigger and better). [http://or2014.helsinki.fi/?p=966 Read more about that here.]<br />

==Video thumbnail summaries as metadata==<br />
<br />
Creating a command line program (wrapped as a Ruby gem) that exports thumbnail images, thumbnail sprite image, and WebVTT metadata.<br />

Original proposal:<br />
I've been interested in using video preview thumbnails as a way to provide summarized access to digitized video that will unlikely get further description. You can read more about what I've done here: http://ronallo.com/blog/a-plugin-for-mediaelement-js-for-preview-thumbnails-on-hover-over-the-time-rail/ I could use help improving that JavaScript plugin or in turning the production of video thumbnails and the metadata track file into a service of some sort. I'm also happy to help as a developer on another project. <br />

==Disk usage pie chart==<br />
Disk usage pie chart! I've been looking for a software tool that would allow us to calculate which projects are using the most server disk space in our collections, how old files are, and when they were last accessed, and then throws all of that data into visual form – like charts, graphs, and especially pie charts! I developed a web tool that just shows individual project sizes and how data is added or deleted from day to day, but it only shows a list of projects and their sizes. To convince my supervisors that certain projects are taking up too much room (and are never accessed), I have to create visuals using excel or other programs, which takes me hours but could easily be automated. <br />

==Video metadata wrangler==<br />
I would love to see a simple tool for writing metadata to video files. Most of the people I work with are not highly proficient in technology, so they work predominately with Adobe products. I would love something like- creating a form where users can type in their information to set fields, and then using Exiftool to write to the files, and/or create side-car XML files (if the file cannot be written to). I envision supporting dublin core? and being able to create various XML schemas (we use XMP). That way, collection managers would not need to have Adobe products (Premiere, Bridge is mostly what we use) to be able to manage metadata for their files as a part of their collections processing. they could use this free easy tool..! <br />

==File format monitors/QA==<br />
* My proposal is for building a File Format Obsolescence Analysis Engine. The purpose of the engine would be to provide information about--and options for--migrating and transcoding obsolete media file formats through simple and intuitive user interactions. The user provides the engine with an arbitrary file, which the engine then analyzes using any number of metadata forensics and validation tools (MediaInfo, JHOVE and DROID to name a few). The engine then decides whether the file needs to be migrated, or whether the current format can be considered "preservation ready". For the purpose of this proposal, "preservation ready" means that the file meets a list of minimum requirements, such as being stable and being supported by certain playback systems. However, determining a comprehensive list of these criteria is outside of the scope of this project. The output of the engine is two-fold: First it will generate a report about the input file. This report will contain the most salient aspects of the file and it's technical metadata in a format that is human readable, but can be easily parsed by a computer in order to facilitate scripting and automation. Second, the engine will move the input file to user-designated output folders according to its state (needs migration or preservation ready). These folders can be used simply to organize the files, or they may function as watch folders for transcoding engines or any other automation systems (which are out of the scope of this proposal). The two most important features of this engine are as follows: 1) The input and output should be as simple and intuitive as possible. The idea is to disseminate the engine as a general tool for the preservation community at large. Due to the wide range in technical skills available to potential users in this community it is critical that the tool be seen as "easy to use". 2) The engine needs to be built in a way that is extensible and easily updated. Due to the time constraints of this event, building a comprehensive analysis engine is out of the scope of this proposal. However, the engine's utility would be greatly enhanced if the framework is built in such a way that members of the community can easily update and add support for various file formats without compromising the previously mentioned usability. Thus, the idea would be to build a baseline that the community could then expand upon in the future. <br />

==FFmpeg GUIs== <br />
* [https://twitter.com/rhfraim @rhfraim]<br />
<br />
I would love to see a good GUI for FFMPEG. Super is nice but it doesn't have all the formats and codecs that FFMPEG has and I think a program that transcodes into any format and does more than one format at the same time would be a great benefit to small budget archives.<br />

<br />
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1P8iQfCPub8abaWGUcl-WGPYnEvr7CxIFKK0dYA3VHaA/viewform Sign up!] As this will be a highly participatory event, registration is limited to those willing to get their hands dirty, so no onlookers please.<br />
<br />
If you are unsure whether you can or want to participate in the hack day itself, you can still see the results by attending the AMIA closing plenary, where hack day projects will be presented, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote on their favorites. <br />
<br />
==What will be the format of the event?==<br />
<br />
In advance of the hack day, project ideas and edit-a-thon topics will be collected through the registration form and the event wiki. In advance of the event, participants will review and discuss submitted project ideas. We’ll then break into groups consisting of technologists and practitioners, and Wikipedia editors, selecting an idea or topic(s) to work on together for the day and (if desired) throughout the duration of the AMIA conference in the developers lounge.<br />
<br />
The day itself will be structured something like this. Coffee/tea will be provided. Lunch is on your own.<br />
<br />
'''9am''' – Welcome, introductions<br />
<br />
'''9:30 - noon''' - Hacking & Wikipedia editing. Snacks and coffee to be served. <br />
<br />
'''Noon-1pm''' – Lunch on your own.<br />

<br />
==Closing plenary & prizes==<br />
<br />
Projects will be presented towards the end of the conference. Projects will be judged by a panel as well as by conference attendees.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
In association with the annual conference, the Association of Moving Image Archivists will host its 2nd annual hack day on October 8, 2014 in Savannah, GA. The event will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and managers of digital audiovisual collections to join with developers and engineers for an intense day of collaboration to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access. This year, we will be holding a concurrent Wikipedia Edit-a-thon[http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon_How-To] for those interested in adding to knowledge pool about audiovisual preservation and access. It will be fun and practical. <br />
<br />
AMIA is again partnering with the Digital Library Federation in organizing the hack day. A robust and diverse community of practitioners who advance research, teaching and learning through the application of digital library research, technology and services, DLF brings years of experience creating and hosting events designed to foster collaboration and develop shared solutions for common challenges.<br />
==What if I’m not a developer?==<br />
<br />
Content managers and preservation practitioners are as central to the success of the event as having keen developers. YOU will be responsible for setting the agenda and the outcomes. The goal is to foster collaboration between audiovisual preservation specialists and technologists, to solve problems together and share expertise.<br />
<br />
The day will also include a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. So even if you're not a developer, nor feel compelled to lend your digital preservation ideas to software and code development, you can contribute to creating new or updated content on Wikipedia for the benefit of our community! You can read all about Wikipedia edit-a-thon events [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon here].<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
<br />
==What is a hack day?==<br />
<br />
A hack day or hackathon is an event that brings together computer technologists and practitioners for an intense period of problem solving through computer programming. Within digital preservation and curation communities, hack days provide an opportunity for archivists, collection managers, and others to work together with technologists to develop software solutions for digital collections management needs. Hack days have been held independently by groups such as the Open Planets Foundation, as well as in association with preservation and access oriented conferences including Open Repositories and Museums and the Web.<br />
<br />
The manifesto of a recent event at the Open Repositories conference framed the benefits this way:<br />
“Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams...The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones. Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development...Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier.”<br />
<br />
==Our Manifesto==<br />
<br />
Manifesto:<br />
* Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams over individual brilliance and/or groups of like individuals in cut-throat competition.<br />
* The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones <br />
* Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development over purely developer driven projects.<br />
* Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier (meaning not working on a project you a working on during your day job)<br />

The UUID could be made into a 1D or 2D bar code or human readable marking on the element for instant access through the server pointer to metadata on the content and physical item. <br />

Harvard Library is currently commencing with a migration plan for SMIL playlists. SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) is a W3C-recommended XML structure for containing structural/technical metadata, time-tagging/excerpting, and relationships between multimedia files, also facilitating access to media files across servers. Harvard formerly used SMIL to aid in delivery of audio formats through RealPlayer but are moving away from that system. However, crucial metadata is contained in the SMIL playlists which need to be extracted and paired with the original Audio Decision Lists to create a new XML based off of the AES-60 convention. While a suite of tools exist for extracting header information from the SMIL files, there may be information contained in the body of the file that is still important to maintain with the more current metadata file and the software needs to be built out to accomodate this. <br />
*Based on the fairly Harvard-centric nature of this project (and the environment for implementing the tools) I am thinking of withdrawing this idea but welcome any interest or parallel issues from others so as to make it more agnostic!* <br />

improving the SMIL application that adds timecode to TEI-encoded transcripts. Right now, you can edit the timecode but not the actual text. See attachment. It'd be great to be able to edit the text as you go. As it is now, you have to export the xml file, make the change in an XML editor and then re-import it into the SMIL tool again. It's not very fluid.<br />

====File format monitors/QA====<br />
* My proposal is for building a File Format Obsolescence Analysis Engine. The purpose of the engine would be to provide information about--and options for--migrating and transcoding obsolete media file formats through simple and intuitive user interactions. The user provides the engine with an arbitrary file, which the engine then analyzes using any number of metadata forensics and validation tools (MediaInfo, JHOVE and DROID to name a few). The engine then decides whether the file needs to be migrated, or whether the current format can be considered "preservation ready". For the purpose of this proposal, "preservation ready" means that the file meets a list of minimum requirements, such as being stable and being supported by certain playback systems. However, determining a comprehensive list of these criteria is outside of the scope of this project. The output of the engine is two-fold: First it will generate a report about the input file. This report will contain the most salient aspects of the file and it's technical metadata in a format that is human readable, but can be easily parsed by a computer in order to facilitate scripting and automation. Second, the engine will move the input file to user-designated output folders according to its state (needs migration or preservation ready). These folders can be used simply to organize the files, or they may function as watch folders for transcoding engines or any other automation systems (which are out of the scope of this proposal). The two most important features of this engine are as follows: 1) The input and output should be as simple and intuitive as possible. The idea is to disseminate the engine as a general tool for the preservation community at large. Due to the wide range in technical skills available to potential users in this community it is critical that the tool be seen as "easy to use". 2) The engine needs to be built in a way that is extensible and easily updated. Due to the time constraints of this event, building a comprehensive analysis engine is out of the scope of this proposal. However, the engine's utility would be greatly enhanced if the framework is built in such a way that members of the community can easily update and add support for various file formats without compromising the previously mentioned usability. Thus, the idea would be to build a baseline that the community could then expand upon in the future. <br />

*Plato is an open-source tool for instituting a preservation planning process for digital objects and integrating services for content characterisation, preservation action and automatic object comparison. Harvard Library is investigating use of this tool to help develop policies for file format migration. Ideally Plato would integrate along with a file format identification/characterization tool (FITS, DROID) and perhaps also to a designated migration tool if the requirements match (e.g. ImageMagick, ffmpeg) and a QA tool that may also communicate back to Plato so as to conform to the overall policy. At this stage we are merely investigating the functionality of this tool and are open to other ideas as to how Plato could be instituted into a broader preservation plan (though ideally with migration in mind). Taverna is another tool worth exploring that is similarly used for monitoring workflows. Any file format oddities are welcome from other institutions so as to experiment with implementing a more complex digital migration policy. <br />

====FFmpeg GUIs==== <br />
* [https://twitter.com/rhfraim @rhfraim]<br />
<br />
I would love to see a good GUI for FFMPEG. Super is nice but it doesn't have all the formats and codecs that FFMPEG has and I think a program that transcodes into any format and does more than one format at the same time would be a great benefit to small budget archives.<br />

====HTML front end for the Public Media Platform==== <br />
* https://github.com/publicmediaplatform/pmpdocs/wiki<br />
* http://api.publicradio.org/pmp-browser/?tag=apm_testing&profile=story<br />
<br />
The Public Media Platform is quickly becoming the most powerful way of getting access to content from all U.S. public television and radio stations, plus independent producers and more. The PMP is intended as an uber-API, allowing producers to store and share their content, and users to query the PMP data store via keyword, media type, date range, geo, etc. In response to a query, the PMP returns content in JSON format. This is ideal for JavaScript developers who can build a web front end by using JS to convert the JSON to HTML. But many potential users of the PMP aren't developers, and won't have access to the skills needed to use the JSON data. <br />
<br />
This project has a simple deliverable: A small JavaScript application to convert the JSON output of the PMP into HTML5. So a single story or media archive returned in JSON format from the PMP would be available as either an HTML <section> or <article> with the appropriate headings etc. Even better if we can include ARIA landmarks, title and alt attributes, and classes and IDs for styling. But styling isn't part of this proposed project; let's solve the JSON-to-HTML part, and designers can take it from there. <br />

<br />
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1P8iQfCPub8abaWGUcl-WGPYnEvr7CxIFKK0dYA3VHaA/viewform Sign up!] As this will be a highly participatory event, registration is limited to those willing to get their hands dirty, so no onlookers please.<br />
<br />
If you are unsure whether you can or want to participate in the hack day itself, you can still see the results by attending the AMIA closing plenary, where hack day projects will be presented, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote on their favorites. <br />
<br />
==What will be the format of the event?==<br />
<br />
In advance of the hack day, project ideas and edit-a-thon topics will be collected through the registration form and the event wiki. In advance of the event, participants will review and discuss submitted project ideas. We’ll then break into groups consisting of technologists and practitioners, and Wikipedia editors, selecting an idea or topic(s) to work on together for the day and (if desired) throughout the duration of the AMIA conference in the developers lounge.<br />
<br />
The day itself will be structured something like this. Coffee/tea will be provided. Lunch is on your own.<br />
<br />
'''9am''' – Welcome, introductions<br />
<br />
'''9:30 - noon''' - Hacking & Wikipedia editing. Snacks and coffee to be served. <br />

==Closing plenary & prizes==<br />
<br />
Projects will be presented towards the end of the conference. Projects will be judged by a panel as well as by conference attendees.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
In association with the annual conference, the Association of Moving Image Archivists will host its 2nd annual hack day on October 8, 2014 in Savannah, GA. The event will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and managers of digital audiovisual collections to join with developers and engineers for an intense day of collaboration to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access. This year, we will be holding a concurrent Wikipedia Edit-a-thon[http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon_How-To] for those interested in adding to knowledge pool about audiovisual preservation and access. It will be fun and practical. <br />
<br />
AMIA is again partnering with the Digital Library Federation in organizing the hack day. A robust and diverse community of practitioners who advance research, teaching and learning through the application of digital library research, technology and services, DLF brings years of experience creating and hosting events designed to foster collaboration and develop shared solutions for common challenges.<br />
==What if I’m not a developer?==<br />
<br />
Content managers and preservation practitioners are as central to the success of the event as having keen developers. YOU will be responsible for setting the agenda and the outcomes. The goal is to foster collaboration between audiovisual preservation specialists and technologists, to solve problems together and share expertise.<br />
<br />
The day will also include a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. So even if you're not a developer, nor feel compelled to lend your digital preservation ideas to software and code development, you can contribute to creating new or updated content on Wikipedia for the benefit of our community! You can read all about Wikipedia edit-a-thon events [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon here].<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
<br />
==What is a hack day?==<br />
<br />
A hack day or hackathon is an event that brings together computer technologists and practitioners for an intense period of problem solving through computer programming. Within digital preservation and curation communities, hack days provide an opportunity for archivists, collection managers, and others to work together with technologists to develop software solutions for digital collections management needs. Hack days have been held independently by groups such as the Open Planets Foundation, as well as in association with preservation and access oriented conferences including Open Repositories and Museums and the Web.<br />
<br />
The manifesto of a recent event at the Open Repositories conference framed the benefits this way:<br />
“Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams...The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones. Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development...Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier.”<br />
<br />
==Our Manifesto==<br />
<br />
Manifesto:<br />
* Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams over individual brilliance and/or groups of like individuals in cut-throat competition.<br />
* The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones <br />
* Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development over purely developer driven projects.<br />
* Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier (meaning not working on a project you a working on during your day job)<br />

====Development of a UUID (universally unique identifier - String or Number) system for moving image physical/digital elements====<br />
There will be a UUID registrar. The registrar server would hold the UUID and pointer to metadata/item information. This would allow a wide range of possible usages from access information to relational trees. Because we do not want to limit this assignment for elements where there is no internet access there will be a system similar to MAC addresses/UPCs where a registered archivist/lab/individual could be given a UUID blocks for assignment offline and then register later online without collision. The UUID could be made into a 1D or 2D bar code or human readable marking on the element for instant access through the server pointer to metadata on the content and physical item. <br />

The tool runs multiple command line video characterization applications on a given file/set of files and outputs the results in a format that is easy for comparative analysis. The aim of the tool is to identify differences in the outputs of these common applications, with the goal of submitting reports to their developers and eventually improving them.

There's no real Hydra dependency - it's in the name and being maintained by the community, but you don't really need to be running Hydra to use it.

====Disk usage pie chart====<br />
Disk usage pie chart! I've been looking for a software tool that would allow us to calculate which projects are using the most server disk space in our collections, how old files are, and when they were last accessed, and then throws all of that data into visual form – like charts, graphs, and especially pie charts! I developed a web tool that just shows individual project sizes and how data is added or deleted from day to day, but it only shows a list of projects and their sizes. To convince my supervisors that certain projects are taking up too much room (and are never accessed), I have to create visuals using excel or other programs, which takes me hours but could easily be automated. <br />

====Video metadata wrangler====<br />
I would love to see a simple tool for writing metadata to video files. Most of the people I work with are not highly proficient in technology, so they work predominately with Adobe products. I would love something like- creating a form where users can type in their information to set fields, and then using Exiftool to write to the files, and/or create side-car XML files (if the file cannot be written to). I envision supporting dublin core? and being able to create various XML schemas (we use XMP). That way, collection managers would not need to have Adobe products (Premiere, Bridge is mostly what we use) to be able to manage metadata for their files as a part of their collections processing. they could use this free easy tool..! <br />

====SMIL playlists====<br />
Harvard Library is currently commencing with a migration plan for SMIL playlists. SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) is a W3C-recommended XML structure for containing structural/technical metadata, time-tagging/excerpting, and relationships between multimedia files, also facilitating access to media files across servers. Harvard formerly used SMIL to aid in delivery of audio formats through RealPlayer but are moving away from that system. However, crucial metadata is contained in the SMIL playlists which need to be extracted and paired with the original Audio Decision Lists to create a new XML based off of the AES-60 convention. While a suite of tools exist for extracting header information from the SMIL files, there may be information contained in the body of the file that is still important to maintain with the more current metadata file and the software needs to be built out to accomodate this. <br />
*Based on the fairly Harvard-centric nature of this project (and the environment for implementing the tools) I am thinking of withdrawing this idea but welcome any interest or parallel issues from others so as to make it more agnostic!* <br />

<br />
improving the SMIL application that adds timecode to TEI-encoded transcripts. Right now, you can edit the timecode but not the actual text. See attachment. It'd be great to be able to edit the text as you go. As it is now, you have to export the xml file, make the change in an XML editor and then re-import it into the SMIL tool again. It's not very fluid.<br />

====File format monitors/QA====<br />
* My proposal is for building a File Format Obsolescence Analysis Engine. The purpose of the engine would be to provide information about--and options for--migrating and transcoding obsolete media file formats through simple and intuitive user interactions. The user provides the engine with an arbitrary file, which the engine then analyzes using any number of metadata forensics and validation tools (MediaInfo, JHOVE and DROID to name a few). The engine then decides whether the file needs to be migrated, or whether the current format can be considered "preservation ready". For the purpose of this proposal, "preservation ready" means that the file meets a list of minimum requirements, such as being stable and being supported by certain playback systems. However, determining a comprehensive list of these criteria is outside of the scope of this project. The output of the engine is two-fold: First it will generate a report about the input file. This report will contain the most salient aspects of the file and it's technical metadata in a format that is human readable, but can be easily parsed by a computer in order to facilitate scripting and automation. Second, the engine will move the input file to user-designated output folders according to its state (needs migration or preservation ready). These folders can be used simply to organize the files, or they may function as watch folders for transcoding engines or any other automation systems (which are out of the scope of this proposal). The two most important features of this engine are as follows: 1) The input and output should be as simple and intuitive as possible. The idea is to disseminate the engine as a general tool for the preservation community at large. Due to the wide range in technical skills available to potential users in this community it is critical that the tool be seen as "easy to use". 2) The engine needs to be built in a way that is extensible and easily updated. Due to the time constraints of this event, building a comprehensive analysis engine is out of the scope of this proposal. However, the engine's utility would be greatly enhanced if the framework is built in such a way that members of the community can easily update and add support for various file formats without compromising the previously mentioned usability. Thus, the idea would be to build a baseline that the community could then expand upon in the future. <br />

*Plato is an open-source tool for instituting a preservation planning process for digital objects and integrating services for content characterisation, preservation action and automatic object comparison. Harvard Library is investigating use of this tool to help develop policies for file format migration. Ideally Plato would integrate along with a file format identification/characterization tool (FITS, DROID) and perhaps also to a designated migration tool if the requirements match (e.g. ImageMagick, ffmpeg) and a QA tool that may also communicate back to Plato so as to conform to the overall policy. At this stage we are merely investigating the functionality of this tool and are open to other ideas as to how Plato could be instituted into a broader preservation plan (though ideally with migration in mind). Taverna is another tool worth exploring that is similarly used for monitoring workflows. Any file format oddities are welcome from other institutions so as to experiment with implementing a more complex digital migration policy. <br />

====FFmpeg GUIs==== <br />
* [https://twitter.com/rhfraim @rhfraim]<br />
<br />
I would love to see a good GUI for FFMPEG. Super is nice but it doesn't have all the formats and codecs that FFMPEG has and I think a program that transcodes into any format and does more than one format at the same time would be a great benefit to small budget archives.<br />

====HTML front end for the Public Media Platform==== <br />

<br />
The Public Media Platform is quickly becoming the most powerful way of getting access to content from all U.S. public television and radio stations, plus independent producers and more. The PMP is intended as an uber-API, allowing producers to store and share their content, and users to query the PMP data store via keyword, media type, date range, geo, etc. In response to a query, the PMP returns content in JSON format. This is ideal for JavaScript developers who can build a web front end by using JS to convert the JSON to HTML. But many potential users of the PMP aren't developers, and won't have access to the skills needed to use the JSON data. <br />
<br />
This project has a simple deliverable: A small JavaScript application to convert the JSON output of the PMP into HTML5. So a single story or media archive returned in JSON format from the PMP would be available as either an HTML <section> or <article> with the appropriate headings etc. Even better if we can include ARIA landmarks, title and alt attributes, and classes and IDs for styling. But styling isn't part of this proposed project; let's solve the JSON-to-HTML part, and designers can take it from there. <br />

<br />
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1P8iQfCPub8abaWGUcl-WGPYnEvr7CxIFKK0dYA3VHaA/viewform Sign up!] As this will be a highly participatory event, registration is limited to those willing to get their hands dirty, so no onlookers please.<br />
<br />
If you are unsure whether you can or want to participate in the hack day itself, you can still see the results by attending the AMIA closing plenary, where hack day projects will be presented, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote on their favorites. <br />
<br />
==What will be the format of the event?==<br />
<br />
In advance of the hack day, project ideas and edit-a-thon topics will be collected through the registration form and the event wiki. In advance of the event, participants will review and discuss submitted project ideas. We’ll then break into groups consisting of technologists and practitioners, and Wikipedia editors, selecting an idea or topic(s) to work on together for the day and (if desired) throughout the duration of the AMIA conference in the developers lounge.<br />
<br />
The day itself will be structured something like this. Coffee/tea will be provided. Lunch is on your own.<br />
<br />
'''9am''' – Welcome, introductions<br />
<br />
'''9:30 - noon''' - Hacking & Wikipedia editing. Snacks and coffee to be served. <br />
<br />
'''Noon-1pm''' – Lunch on your own.<br />

==Closing plenary & prizes==<br />
<br />
Projects will be presented towards the end of the conference. Projects will be judged by a panel as well as by conference attendees.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
In association with the annual conference, the Association of Moving Image Archivists will host its 2nd annual hack day on October 8, 2014 in Savannah, GA. The event will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and managers of digital audiovisual collections to join with developers and engineers for an intense day of collaboration to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access. This year, we will be holding a concurrent Wikipedia Edit-a-thon[http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon_How-To] for those interested in adding to knowledge pool about audiovisual preservation and access. It will be fun and practical. <br />
<br />
AMIA is again partnering with the Digital Library Federation in organizing the hack day. A robust and diverse community of practitioners who advance research, teaching and learning through the application of digital library research, technology and services, DLF brings years of experience creating and hosting events designed to foster collaboration and develop shared solutions for common challenges.<br />
==What if I’m not a developer?==<br />
<br />
Content managers and preservation practitioners are as central to the success of the event as having keen developers. YOU will be responsible for setting the agenda and the outcomes. The goal is to foster collaboration between audiovisual preservation specialists and technologists, to solve problems together and share expertise.<br />
<br />
The day will also include a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. So even if you're not a developer, nor feel compelled to lend your digital preservation ideas to software and code development, you can contribute to creating new or updated content on Wikipedia for the benefit of our community! You can read all about Wikipedia edit-a-thon events [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon here].<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
<br />
==What is a hack day?==<br />
<br />
A hack day or hackathon is an event that brings together computer technologists and practitioners for an intense period of problem solving through computer programming. Within digital preservation and curation communities, hack days provide an opportunity for archivists, collection managers, and others to work together with technologists to develop software solutions for digital collections management needs. Hack days have been held independently by groups such as the Open Planets Foundation, as well as in association with preservation and access oriented conferences including Open Repositories and Museums and the Web.<br />
<br />
The manifesto of a recent event at the Open Repositories conference framed the benefits this way:<br />
“Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams...The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones. Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development...Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier.”<br />
<br />
==Our Manifesto==<br />
<br />
Manifesto:<br />
* Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams over individual brilliance and/or groups of like individuals in cut-throat competition.<br />
* The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones <br />
* Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development over purely developer driven projects.<br />
* Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier (meaning not working on a project you a working on during your day job)<br />

I am looking for XMP data in addition to PBCore and I can bring a template of fields. (we support XMP mapping for ingesting video to our DAMS). What other XML schemas? and a tool like this does not exist yet?- maybe even add Exiftool in the mix here to optionally write to supported file types?<br />

====Development of a UUID (universally unique identifier - String or Number) system for moving image physical/digital elements====<br />
There will be a UUID registrar. The registrar server would hold the UUID and pointer to metadata/item information. This would allow a wide range of possible usages from access information to relational trees. Because we do not want to limit this assignment for elements where there is no internet access there will be a system similar to MAC addresses/UPCs where a registered archivist/lab/individual could be given a UUID blocks for assignment offline and then register later online without collision. The UUID could be made into a 1D or 2D bar code or human readable marking on the element for instant access through the server pointer to metadata on the content and physical item. <br />

====Video characterization tool analyzer====<br />
I would like to continue working on a project I began at the 2014 Open Repositories conference, a video characterization tool analyzer. The tool runs multiple command line video characterization applications on a given file/set of files and outputs the results in a format that is easy for comparative analysis. The aim of the tool is to identify differences in the outputs of these common applications, with the goal of submitting reports to their developers and eventually improving them.

There's no real Hydra dependency - it's in the name and being maintained by the community, but you don't really need to be running Hydra to use it. There are a couple of repos that are using it in production and beginning to amass some technical metadata generated this way.<br />

====Disk usage pie chart====<br />
Disk usage pie chart! I've been looking for a software tool that would allow us to calculate which projects are using the most server disk space in our collections, how old files are, and when they were last accessed, and then throws all of that data into visual form – like charts, graphs, and especially pie charts! I developed a web tool that just shows individual project sizes and how data is added or deleted from day to day, but it only shows a list of projects and their sizes. To convince my supervisors that certain projects are taking up too much room (and are never accessed), I have to create visuals using excel or other programs, which takes me hours but could easily be automated. <br />

====Video metadata wrangler====<br />
I would love to see a simple tool for writing metadata to video files. Most of the people I work with are not highly proficient in technology, so they work predominately with Adobe products. I would love something like- creating a form where users can type in their information to set fields, and then using Exiftool to write to the files, and/or create side-car XML files (if the file cannot be written to). I envision supporting dublin core? and being able to create various XML schemas (we use XMP). That way, collection managers would not need to have Adobe products (Premiere, Bridge is mostly what we use) to be able to manage metadata for their files as a part of their collections processing. they could use this free easy tool..! <br />

====SMIL playlists====<br />
Harvard Library is currently commencing with a migration plan for SMIL playlists. SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) is a W3C-recommended XML structure for containing structural/technical metadata, time-tagging/excerpting, and relationships between multimedia files, also facilitating access to media files across servers. Harvard formerly used SMIL to aid in delivery of audio formats through RealPlayer but are moving away from that system. However, crucial metadata is contained in the SMIL playlists which need to be extracted and paired with the original Audio Decision Lists to create a new XML based off of the AES-60 convention. While a suite of tools exist for extracting header information from the SMIL files, there may be information contained in the body of the file that is still important to maintain with the more current metadata file and the software needs to be built out to accomodate this. <br />
*Based on the fairly Harvard-centric nature of this project (and the environment for implementing the tools) I am thinking of withdrawing this idea but welcome any interest or parallel issues from others so as to make it more agnostic!* <br />
*joeygheinen.jh [at] gmail [dawt] com<br />
<br />
improving the SMIL application that adds timecode to TEI-encoded transcripts. Right now, you can edit the timecode but not the actual text. See attachment. It'd be great to be able to edit the text as you go. As it is now, you have to export the xml file, make the change in an XML editor and then re-import it into the SMIL tool again. It's not very fluid.<br />

====File format monitors/QA====<br />
* My proposal is for building a File Format Obsolescence Analysis Engine. The purpose of the engine would be to provide information about--and options for--migrating and transcoding obsolete media file formats through simple and intuitive user interactions. The user provides the engine with an arbitrary file, which the engine then analyzes using any number of metadata forensics and validation tools (MediaInfo, JHOVE and DROID to name a few). The engine then decides whether the file needs to be migrated, or whether the current format can be considered "preservation ready". For the purpose of this proposal, "preservation ready" means that the file meets a list of minimum requirements, such as being stable and being supported by certain playback systems. However, determining a comprehensive list of these criteria is outside of the scope of this project. The output of the engine is two-fold: First it will generate a report about the input file. This report will contain the most salient aspects of the file and it's technical metadata in a format that is human readable, but can be easily parsed by a computer in order to facilitate scripting and automation. Second, the engine will move the input file to user-designated output folders according to its state (needs migration or preservation ready). These folders can be used simply to organize the files, or they may function as watch folders for transcoding engines or any other automation systems (which are out of the scope of this proposal). The two most important features of this engine are as follows: 1) The input and output should be as simple and intuitive as possible. The idea is to disseminate the engine as a general tool for the preservation community at large. Due to the wide range in technical skills available to potential users in this community it is critical that the tool be seen as "easy to use". 2) The engine needs to be built in a way that is extensible and easily updated. Due to the time constraints of this event, building a comprehensive analysis engine is out of the scope of this proposal. However, the engine's utility would be greatly enhanced if the framework is built in such a way that members of the community can easily update and add support for various file formats without compromising the previously mentioned usability. Thus, the idea would be to build a baseline that the community could then expand upon in the future. <br />

* http://api.publicradio.org/pmp-browser/?tag=apm_testing&profile=story<br />
<br />
The Public Media Platform is quickly becoming the most powerful way of getting access to content from all U.S. public television and radio stations, plus independent producers and more. The PMP is intended as an uber-API, allowing producers to store and share their content, and users to query the PMP data store via keyword, media type, date range, geo, etc. In response to a query, the PMP returns content in JSON format. This is ideal for JavaScript developers who can build a web front end by using JS to convert the JSON to HTML. But many potential users of the PMP aren't developers, and won't have access to the skills needed to use the JSON data. <br />
<br />
This project has a simple deliverable: A small JavaScript application to convert the JSON output of the PMP into HTML5. So a single story or media archive returned in JSON format from the PMP would be available as either an HTML <section> or <article> with the appropriate headings etc. Even better if we can include ARIA landmarks, title and alt attributes, and classes and IDs for styling. But styling isn't part of this proposed project; let's solve the JSON-to-HTML part, and designers can take it from there. <br />

<!-- *Light breakfast, snacks and coffee will be provided throughout the day! --><br />
<br />
==How can I participate?==<br />
<br />
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1P8iQfCPub8abaWGUcl-WGPYnEvr7CxIFKK0dYA3VHaA/viewform Sign up!] As this will be a highly participatory event, registration is limited to those willing to get their hands dirty, so no onlookers please.<br />
<br />
If you are unsure whether you can or want to participate in the hack day itself, you can still see the results by attending the AMIA closing plenary, where hack day projects will be presented, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote on their favorites. <br />
<br />
==What will be the format of the event?==<br />
<br />
In advance of the hack day, project ideas and edit-a-thon topics will be collected through the registration form and the event wiki. In advance of the event, participants will review and discuss submitted project ideas. We’ll then break into groups consisting of technologists and practitioners, and Wikipedia editors, selecting an idea or topic(s) to work on together for the day and (if desired) throughout the duration of the AMIA conference in the developers lounge.<br />
<br />
The day itself will be structured something like this. Coffee/tea will be provided. Lunch is on your own.<br />
<br />
'''9am''' – Welcome, introductions<br />
<br />
'''9:30 - noon''' - Hacking & Wikipedia editing. Snacks and coffee to be served. <br />
<br />
'''Noon-1pm''' – Lunch on your own.<br />

<br />
'''4:30 - 5''' - Wrap up.<br />
<br />
==Closing plenary & prizes==<br />
<br />
Projects will be presented towards the end of the conference. Projects will be judged by a panel as well as by conference attendees.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
In association with the annual conference, the Association of Moving Image Archivists will host its 2nd annual hack day on October 8, 2014 in Savannah, GA. The event will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and managers of digital audiovisual collections to join with developers and engineers for an intense day of collaboration to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access. This year, we will be holding a concurrent Wikipedia Edit-a-thon[http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon_How-To] for those interested in adding to knowledge pool about audiovisual preservation and access. It will be fun and practical. <br />
<br />
AMIA is again partnering with the Digital Library Federation in organizing the hack day. A robust and diverse community of practitioners who advance research, teaching and learning through the application of digital library research, technology and services, DLF brings years of experience creating and hosting events designed to foster collaboration and develop shared solutions for common challenges.<br />
==What if I’m not a developer?==<br />
<br />
Content managers and preservation practitioners are as central to the success of the event as having keen developers. YOU will be responsible for setting the agenda and the outcomes. The goal is to foster collaboration between audiovisual preservation specialists and technologists, to solve problems together and share expertise.<br />
<br />
The day will also include a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. So even if you're not a developer, nor feel compelled to lend your digital preservation ideas to software and code development, you can contribute to creating new or updated content on Wikipedia for the benefit of our community! You can read all about Wikipedia edit-a-thon events [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon here].<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
<br />
==What is a hack day?==<br />
<br />
A hack day or hackathon is an event that brings together computer technologists and practitioners for an intense period of problem solving through computer programming. Within digital preservation and curation communities, hack days provide an opportunity for archivists, collection managers, and others to work together with technologists to develop software solutions for digital collections management needs. Hack days have been held independently by groups such as the Open Planets Foundation, as well as in association with preservation and access oriented conferences including Open Repositories and Museums and the Web.<br />
<br />
The manifesto of a recent event at the Open Repositories conference framed the benefits this way:<br />
“Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams...The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones. Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development...Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier.”<br />
<br />
==Our Manifesto==<br />
<br />
Manifesto:<br />
* Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams over individual brilliance and/or groups of like individuals in cut-throat competition.<br />
* The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones <br />
* Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development over purely developer driven projects.<br />
* Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier (meaning not working on a project you a working on during your day job)<br />

Below are loose ideas for projects to hack on! If you're interested in one of the project stubs below, [http://wiki.curatecamp.org/index.php/Special:RequestAccount sign up for a wiki login] and add your thoughtful comments or possible starting points to the proposal, or contact the proposer via twitter or email. As the Hack Day approaches, we'll brainstorm further and consolidate like-minded projects.<br />

====PBCore XML Record Generator (data submitted via a form, which spits out PBCore XML)? Updated PBCore Record Validator?====<br />
* casey_davis [at] wgbh [dawt] org [https://twitter.com/CaseyEDavis1 @CaseyEDavis1]<br />
* Interested? Your name + any comments/initial ideas<br />
* Crystal Sanchez- I would love to work on this- I think if we could have a dropdown with a few kinds of XML to spit out- that would be great. I am looking for XMP data in addition to PBCore and I can bring a template of fields. (we support XMP mapping for ingesting video to our DAMS). What other XML schemas? and a tool like this does not exist yet?- maybe even add Exiftool in the mix here to optionally write to supported file types?<br />
<br />
====Development of a UUID (universally unique identifier - String or Number) system for moving image physical/digital elements====<br />
There will be a UUID registrar. The registrar server would hold the UUID and pointer to metadata/item information. This would allow a wide range of possible usages from access information to relational trees. Because we do not want to limit this assignment for elements where there is no internet access there will be a system similar to MAC addresses/UPCs where a registered archivist/lab/individual could be given a UUID blocks for assignment offline and then register later online without collision. The UUID could be made into a 1D or 2D bar code or human readable marking on the element for instant access through the server pointer to metadata on the content and physical item. <br />

====Video characterization tool analyzer====<br />
I would like to continue working on a project I began at the 2014 Open Repositories conference, a video characterization tool analyzer. The tool runs multiple command line video characterization applications on a given file/set of files and outputs the results in a format that is easy for comparative analysis. The aim of the tool is to identify differences in the outputs of these common applications, with the goal of submitting reports to their developers and eventually improving them.

You can read more about what I've done here: http://ronallo.com/blog/a-plugin-for-mediaelement-js-for-preview-thumbnails-on-hover-over-the-time-rail/ I could use help improving that JavaScript plugin or in turning the production of video thumbnails and the metadata track file into a service of some sort.

====Disk usage pie chart====<br />
Disk usage pie chart! I've been looking for a software tool that would allow us to calculate which projects are using the most server disk space in our collections, how old files are, and when they were last accessed, and then throws all of that data into visual form – like charts, graphs, and especially pie charts! I developed a web tool that just shows individual project sizes and how data is added or deleted from day to day, but it only shows a list of projects and their sizes. To convince my supervisors that certain projects are taking up too much room (and are never accessed), I have to create visuals using excel or other programs, which takes me hours but could easily be automated. <br />

====Video metadata wrangler====<br />
I would love to see a simple tool for writing metadata to video files. Most of the people I work with are not highly proficient in technology, so they work predominately with Adobe products. I would love something like- creating a form where users can type in their information to set fields, and then using Exiftool to write to the files, and/or create side-car XML files (if the file cannot be written to). I envision supporting dublin core? and being able to create various XML schemas (we use XMP). That way, collection managers would not need to have Adobe products (Premiere, Bridge is mostly what we use) to be able to manage metadata for their files as a part of their collections processing. they could use this free easy tool..! <br />

<br />
====SMIL playlists====<br />
Harvard Library is currently commencing with a migration plan for SMIL playlists. SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) is a W3C-recommended XML structure for containing structural/technical metadata, time-tagging/excerpting, and relationships between multimedia files, also facilitating access to media files across servers. Harvard formerly used SMIL to aid in delivery of audio formats through RealPlayer but are moving away from that system. However, crucial metadata is contained in the SMIL playlists which need to be extracted and paired with the original Audio Decision Lists to create a new XML based off of the AES-60 convention. While a suite of tools exist for extracting header information from the SMIL files, there may be information contained in the body of the file that is still important to maintain with the more current metadata file and the software needs to be built out to accomodate this. <br />
*Based on the fairly Harvard-centric nature of this project (and the environment for implementing the tools) I am thinking of withdrawing this idea but welcome any interest or parallel issues from others so as to make it more agnostic!* <br />
*joeygheinen.jh [at] gmail [dawt] com<br />
<br />
improving the SMIL application that adds timecode to TEI-encoded transcripts. Right now, you can edit the timecode but not the actual text. See attachment. It'd be great to be able to edit the text as you go. As it is now, you have to export the xml file, make the change in an XML editor and then re-import it into the SMIL tool again. It's not very fluid.<br />

<br />
====File format monitors/QA====<br />
* My proposal is for building a File Format Obsolescence Analysis Engine. The purpose of the engine would be to provide information about--and options for--migrating and transcoding obsolete media file formats through simple and intuitive user interactions. The user provides the engine with an arbitrary file, which the engine then analyzes using any number of metadata forensics and validation tools (MediaInfo, JHOVE and DROID to name a few). The engine then decides whether the file needs to be migrated, or whether the current format can be considered "preservation ready". For the purpose of this proposal, "preservation ready" means that the file meets a list of minimum requirements, such as being stable and being supported by certain playback systems. However, determining a comprehensive list of these criteria is outside of the scope of this project. The output of the engine is two-fold: First it will generate a report about the input file. This report will contain the most salient aspects of the file and it's technical metadata in a format that is human readable, but can be easily parsed by a computer in order to facilitate scripting and automation. Second, the engine will move the input file to user-designated output folders according to its state (needs migration or preservation ready). These folders can be used simply to organize the files, or they may function as watch folders for transcoding engines or any other automation systems (which are out of the scope of this proposal). The two most important features of this engine are as follows: 1) The input and output should be as simple and intuitive as possible. The idea is to disseminate the engine as a general tool for the preservation community at large. Due to the wide range in technical skills available to potential users in this community it is critical that the tool be seen as "easy to use". 2) The engine needs to be built in a way that is extensible and easily updated. Due to the time constraints of this event, building a comprehensive analysis engine is out of the scope of this proposal. However, the engine's utility would be greatly enhanced if the framework is built in such a way that members of the community can easily update and add support for various file formats without compromising the previously mentioned usability. Thus, the idea would be to build a baseline that the community could then expand upon in the future. <br />

<br />
*Plato is an open-source tool for instituting a preservation planning process for digital objects and integrating services for content characterisation, preservation action and automatic object comparison. Harvard Library is investigating use of this tool to help develop policies for file format migration. Ideally Plato would integrate along with a file format identification/characterization tool (FITS, DROID) and perhaps also to a designated migration tool if the requirements match (e.g. ImageMagick, ffmpeg) and a QA tool that may also communicate back to Plato so as to conform to the overall policy. At this stage we are merely investigating the functionality of this tool and are open to other ideas as to how Plato could be instituted into a broader preservation plan (though ideally with migration in mind). Taverna is another tool worth exploring that is similarly used for monitoring workflows. Any file format oddities are welcome from other institutions so as to experiment with implementing a more complex digital migration policy. <br />

====FFmpeg GUIs==== <br />
* [https://twitter.com/rhfraim @rhfraim]<br />
<br />
I would love to see a good GUI for FFMPEG. Super is nice but it doesn't have all the formats and codecs that FFMPEG has and I think a program that transcodes into any format and does more than one format at the same time would be a great benefit to small budget archives.<br />

====HTML front end for the Public Media Platform==== <br />
* https://github.com/publicmediaplatform/pmpdocs/wiki<br />
* http://api.publicradio.org/pmp-browser/?tag=apm_testing&profile=story<br />
<br />
The Public Media Platform is quickly becoming the most powerful way of getting access to content from all U.S. public television and radio stations, plus independent producers and more. The PMP is intended as an uber-API, allowing producers to store and share their content, and users to query the PMP data store via keyword, media type, date range, geo, etc. In response to a query, the PMP returns content in JSON format. This is ideal for JavaScript developers who can build a web front end by using JS to convert the JSON to HTML. But many potential users of the PMP aren't developers, and won't have access to the skills needed to use the JSON data. <br />
<br />
This project has a simple deliverable: A small JavaScript application to convert the JSON output of the PMP into HTML5. So a single story or media archive returned in JSON format from the PMP would be available as either an HTML <section> or <article> with the appropriate headings etc. Even better if we can include ARIA landmarks, title and alt attributes, and classes and IDs for styling. But styling isn't part of this proposed project; let's solve the JSON-to-HTML part, and designers can take it from there. <br />

==How can I participate?==<br />
<br />
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1P8iQfCPub8abaWGUcl-WGPYnEvr7CxIFKK0dYA3VHaA/viewform Sign up!] As this will be a highly participatory event, registration is limited to those willing to get their hands dirty, so no onlookers please.<br />
<br />
If you are unsure whether you can or want to participate in the hack day itself, you can still see the results by attending the AMIA closing plenary, where hack day projects will be presented, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote on their favorites. <br />
<br />
==What will be the format of the event?==<br />
<br />
In advance of the hack day, project ideas and edit-a-thon topics will be collected through the registration form and the event wiki. In advance of the event, participants will review and discuss submitted project ideas. We’ll then break into groups consisting of technologists and practitioners, and Wikipedia editors, selecting an idea or topic(s) to work on together for the day and (if desired) throughout the duration of the AMIA conference in the developers lounge.<br />
<br />
The day itself will be structured something like this. Breakfast, coffee/tea, and snacks will be provided. Lunch is on your own.<br />
<br />
'''9am''' – Welcome, introductions, and breakfast <br />
<br />
'''9:30 - noon''' - Hacking & Wikipedia editing. Snacks and coffee to be served. <br />
<br />
'''Noon-1pm''' – Lunch on your own.<br />
<br />
'''1 - 4:30''' - Hacking & Wikipedia editing. Snacks and coffee will be served.<br />
<br />
'''4:30 - 5''' - Wrap up.<br />
<br />
==Closing plenary & prizes==<br />
<br />
Projects will be presented towards the end of the conference. Projects will be judged by a panel as well as by conference attendees.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
In association with the annual conference, the Association of Moving Image Archivists will host its 2nd annual hack day on October 8, 2014 in Savannah, GA. The event will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and managers of digital audiovisual collections to join with developers and engineers for an intense day of collaboration to develop solutions for digital audiovisual preservation and access. This year, we will be holding a concurrent Wikipedia Edit-a-thon[http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon_How-To] for those interested in adding to knowledge pool about audiovisual preservation and access. It will be fun and practical. <br />
<br />
AMIA is again partnering with the Digital Library Federation in organizing the hack day. A robust and diverse community of practitioners who advance research, teaching and learning through the application of digital library research, technology and services, DLF brings years of experience creating and hosting events designed to foster collaboration and develop shared solutions for common challenges.<br />
==What if I’m not a developer?==<br />
<br />
Content managers and preservation practitioners are as central to the success of the event as having keen developers. YOU will be responsible for setting the agenda and the outcomes. The goal is to foster collaboration between audiovisual preservation specialists and technologists, to solve problems together and share expertise.<br />
<br />
The day will also include a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. So even if you're not a developer, nor feel compelled to lend your digital preservation ideas to software and code development, you can contribute to creating new or updated content on Wikipedia for the benefit of our community! You can read all about Wikipedia edit-a-thon events [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon here].<br />
<br />
=Background=<br />
<br />
==What is a hack day?==<br />
<br />
A hack day or hackathon is an event that brings together computer technologists and practitioners for an intense period of problem solving through computer programming. Within digital preservation and curation communities, hack days provide an opportunity for archivists, collection managers, and others to work together with technologists to develop software solutions for digital collections management needs. Hack days have been held independently by groups such as the Open Planets Foundation, as well as in association with preservation and access oriented conferences including Open Repositories and Museums and the Web.<br />
<br />
The manifesto of a recent event at the Open Repositories conference framed the benefits this way:<br />
“Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams...The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones. Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development...Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier.”<br />
<br />
==Our Manifesto==<br />
<br />
Manifesto:<br />
* Transparent, fun, open collaboration in diversely constituted teams over individual brilliance and/or groups of like individuals in cut-throat competition.<br />
* The creation of new professional networks over the ossification of old ones <br />
* Effective engagement of non-developers (researchers, repository managers) in development over purely developer driven projects.<br />
* Work done at the conference over presentation of something prepared earlier (meaning not working on a project you a working on during your day job)<br />
<br />
=Hack Day Project proposals=<br />
<br />
Below are loose ideas for projects to hack on! If you're interested in one of the project stubs below, [http://wiki.curatecamp.org/index.php/Special:RequestAccount sign up for a wiki login] and add your thoughtful comments or possible starting points to the proposal, or contact the proposer via twitter or email. As the Hack Day approaches, we'll brainstorm further and consolidate like-minded projects.<br />

====PBCore XML Record Generator (data submitted via a form, which spits out PBCore XML)? Updated PBCore Record Validator?====<br />
* casey_davis [at] wgbh [dawt] org [https://twitter.com/CaseyEDavis1 @CaseyEDavis1]<br />
* Interested? Your name + any comments/initial ideas<br />
* Crystal Sanchez- I would love to work on this- I think if we could have a dropdown with a few kinds of XML to spit out- that would be great. I am looking for XMP data in addition to PBCore and I can bring a template of fields. (we support XMP mapping for ingesting video to our DAMS). What other XML schemas? and a tool like this does not exist yet?- maybe even add Exiftool in the mix here to optionally write to supported file types?<br />
<br />
====Development of a UUID (universally unique identifier - String or Number) system for moving image physical/digital elements====<br />
There will be a UUID registrar. The registrar server would hold the UUID and pointer to metadata/item information. This would allow a wide range of possible usages from access information to relational trees. Because we do not want to limit this assignment for elements where there is no internet access there will be a system similar to MAC addresses/UPCs where a registered archivist/lab/individual could be given a UUID blocks for assignment offline and then register later online without collision. The UUID could be made into a 1D or 2D bar code or human readable marking on the element for instant access through the server pointer to metadata on the content and physical item. <br />

====Video characterization tool analyzer====<br />
I would like to continue working on a project I began at the 2014 Open Repositories conference, a video characterization tool analyzer. The tool runs multiple command line video characterization applications on a given file/set of files and outputs the results in a format that is easy for comparative analysis. The aim of the tool is to identify differences in the outputs of these common applications, with the goal of submitting reports to their developers and eventually improving them.

====Video thumbnail summaries as metadata==== <br />
I've been interested in using video preview thumbnails as a way to provide summarized access to digitized video that will unlikely get further description. You can read more about what I've done here: http://ronallo.com/blog/a-plugin-for-mediaelement-js-for-preview-thumbnails-on-hover-over-the-time-rail/ I could use help improving that JavaScript plugin or in turning the production of video thumbnails and the metadata track file into a service of some sort. I'm also happy to help as a developer on another project. <br />

====Disk usage pie chart====<br />
Disk usage pie chart! I've been looking for a software tool that would allow us to calculate which projects are using the most server disk space in our collections, how old files are, and when they were last accessed, and then throws all of that data into visual form – like charts, graphs, and especially pie charts! I developed a web tool that just shows individual project sizes and how data is added or deleted from day to day, but it only shows a list of projects and their sizes. To convince my supervisors that certain projects are taking up too much room (and are never accessed), I have to create visuals using excel or other programs, which takes me hours but could easily be automated. <br />

====Video metadata wrangler====<br />
I would love to see a simple tool for writing metadata to video files. Most of the people I work with are not highly proficient in technology, so they work predominately with Adobe products. I would love something like- creating a form where users can type in their information to set fields, and then using Exiftool to write to the files, and/or create side-car XML files (if the file cannot be written to). I envision supporting dublin core? and being able to create various XML schemas (we use XMP). That way, collection managers would not need to have Adobe products (Premiere, Bridge is mostly what we use) to be able to manage metadata for their files as a part of their collections processing. they could use this free easy tool..! <br />

====SMIL playlists====<br />
Harvard Library is currently commencing with a migration plan for SMIL playlists. SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) is a W3C-recommended XML structure for containing structural/technical metadata, time-tagging/excerpting, and relationships between multimedia files, also facilitating access to media files across servers. Harvard formerly used SMIL to aid in delivery of audio formats through RealPlayer but are moving away from that system. However, crucial metadata is contained in the SMIL playlists which need to be extracted and paired with the original Audio Decision Lists to create a new XML based off of the AES-60 convention. While a suite of tools exist for extracting header information from the SMIL files, there may be information contained in the body of the file that is still important to maintain with the more current metadata file and the software needs to be built out to accomodate this. <br />
*Based on the fairly Harvard-centric nature of this project (and the environment for implementing the tools) I am thinking of withdrawing this idea but welcome any interest or parallel issues from others so as to make it more agnostic!* <br />
*joeygheinen.jh [at] gmail [dawt] com<br />
<br />
improving the SMIL application that adds timecode to TEI-encoded transcripts. Right now, you can edit the timecode but not the actual text. See attachment. It'd be great to be able to edit the text as you go. As it is now, you have to export the xml file, make the change in an XML editor and then re-import it into the SMIL tool again. It's not very fluid.<br />

<br />
====File format monitors/QA====<br />
* My proposal is for building a File Format Obsolescence Analysis Engine. The purpose of the engine would be to provide information about--and options for--migrating and transcoding obsolete media file formats through simple and intuitive user interactions. The user provides the engine with an arbitrary file, which the engine then analyzes using any number of metadata forensics and validation tools (MediaInfo, JHOVE and DROID to name a few). The engine then decides whether the file needs to be migrated, or whether the current format can be considered "preservation ready". For the purpose of this proposal, "preservation ready" means that the file meets a list of minimum requirements, such as being stable and being supported by certain playback systems. However, determining a comprehensive list of these criteria is outside of the scope of this project. The output of the engine is two-fold: First it will generate a report about the input file. This report will contain the most salient aspects of the file and it's technical metadata in a format that is human readable, but can be easily parsed by a computer in order to facilitate scripting and automation. Second, the engine will move the input file to user-designated output folders according to its state (needs migration or preservation ready). These folders can be used simply to organize the files, or they may function as watch folders for transcoding engines or any other automation systems (which are out of the scope of this proposal). The two most important features of this engine are as follows: 1) The input and output should be as simple and intuitive as possible. The idea is to disseminate the engine as a general tool for the preservation community at large. Due to the wide range in technical skills available to potential users in this community it is critical that the tool be seen as "easy to use". 2) The engine needs to be built in a way that is extensible and easily updated. Due to the time constraints of this event, building a comprehensive analysis engine is out of the scope of this proposal. However, the engine's utility would be greatly enhanced if the framework is built in such a way that members of the community can easily update and add support for various file formats without compromising the previously mentioned usability. Thus, the idea would be to build a baseline that the community could then expand upon in the future. <br />

*Plato is an open-source tool for instituting a preservation planning process for digital objects and integrating services for content characterisation, preservation action and automatic object comparison. Harvard Library is investigating use of this tool to help develop policies for file format migration. Ideally Plato would integrate along with a file format identification/characterization tool (FITS, DROID) and perhaps also to a designated migration tool if the requirements match (e.g. ImageMagick, ffmpeg) and a QA tool that may also communicate back to Plato so as to conform to the overall policy. At this stage we are merely investigating the functionality of this tool and are open to other ideas as to how Plato could be instituted into a broader preservation plan (though ideally with migration in mind). Taverna is another tool worth exploring that is similarly used for monitoring workflows. Any file format oddities are welcome from other institutions so as to experiment with implementing a more complex digital migration policy. <br />

====FFmpeg GUIs==== <br />
* [https://twitter.com/rhfraim @rhfraim]<br />
<br />
I would love to see a good GUI for FFMPEG. Super is nice but it doesn't have all the formats and codecs that FFMPEG has and I think a program that transcodes into any format and does more than one format at the same time would be a great benefit to small budget archives.<br />

====HTML front end for the Public Media Platform==== <br />
* https://github.com/publicmediaplatform/pmpdocs/wiki<br />
* http://api.publicradio.org/pmp-browser/?tag=apm_testing&profile=story<br />
<br />
The Public Media Platform is quickly becoming the most powerful way of getting access to content from all U.S. public television and radio stations, plus independent producers and more. The PMP is intended as an uber-API, allowing producers to store and share their content, and users to query the PMP data store via keyword, media type, date range, geo, etc. In response to a query, the PMP returns content in JSON format. This is ideal for JavaScript developers who can build a web front end by using JS to convert the JSON to HTML. But many potential users of the PMP aren't developers, and won't have access to the skills needed to use the JSON data. <br />
<br />
This project has a simple deliverable: A small JavaScript application to convert the JSON output of the PMP into HTML5. So a single story or media archive returned in JSON format from the PMP would be available as either an HTML <section> or <article> with the appropriate headings etc. Even better if we can include ARIA landmarks, title and alt attributes, and classes and IDs for styling. But styling isn't part of this proposed project; let's solve the JSON-to-HTML part, and designers can take it from there. <br />
