MediaMixer Core Technology Set has been published

Dear all,

MediaMixer (http://mediamixer.eu/) as a project is promoting the use of 
innovative semantic technology for analysing, annotating, managing and 
re-using media assets at the fragment level to the benefit of both the 
media owner and the media consumer.

However, any new technology needs explanation: what technology exists 
for each task? where is it and how can I use it? what does it support, 
what not, and what experiences have been had with it? MediaMixer 
supports interested adopters on its community portal with lists of 
useful software and demonstrators, and can directly help community 
members via online forums, events and offers of knowledge and technology 
transfer*.

As part of this, we just published the first version of the Core 
Technology Set. This document introduces the different aspects of 
MediaMixer technology with a state of the art, existing technology and 
specifications, and links to further information and downloads. We cover:
   - Media Fragment specification, server playout and client playout
   - Media Fragment creation via visual analysis
   - Media Fragment description using annotation models and controlled 
vocabularies
   - Media Fragment rights management
   - Media Fragment asset management including fragment identification
   - Media Fragment re-use via search and retrieval in IT systems

This technology is in flux and we will update the Core Technology Set 
when necessary. Any registered community member can access the document 
at http://community.mediamixer.eu/materials/tutorials/coretechset

If you have questions or comments on it, you can start a discussion in 
our What is MediaMixer? forum (http://community.mediamixer.eu/forum/whatis).

*And if you would like to become more involved with us, even realising 
your own technology demonstrator, just ask about becoming a core member!
