VIVO - a Video Indexing and Visualization Organizer

Abstract

Traditional video libraries only catalog and index videos at the piece level. Digital videos need to be catalogued and indexed both on multiple levels (e.g. video, segment and frame) and through multiple modalities (e.g., textual description and visual surrogate). VIVO (Video Indexing and Visualization Organizer) is such a prototype tool we developed to help digital video librarians to input, edit and manage video metadata elements on different levels.
