DESCRIPTION
The Media Ecology Project (MEP) is an architecture, methodology, and partnership network that facilitates new forms of scholarly production based on distributed analysis of moving image materials. Based on standards like the W3C Open Annotation Data Model, MEP seeks to connect a variety of specialized tools together using a third-party metadata repository that sits outside of any single tool or video archive. Doing so serves several purposes: it allows existing software platforms to be used in a more open, collaborative manner; it maintains the ability of individual tools to specialize in focused areas of functionality without the pressure to serve all needs for all users; and it frees metadata created for a specific analysis to be shared with other scholars. A critical outcome of this model is that it allows metadata created by subject area experts outside of source archives to contribute metadata they generate about an asset back to the archive itself, expanding the archive's contextual knowledge about its own materials. The first stand-alone tool developed for MEP, Ono-my.org, is available now at http://onomy.org/ . This is a presentation from the LIME workshop at ESWC 2014.

WHAT IS MEP?
CURRENT MODEL
• User clicks MediaThread bookmarklet on Library of Congress video
• MediaThread bookmarklet scrapes metadata from Library of Congress and stores it in MediaThread’s local database
SIDELOADED METADATA
• MediaThread sends a second request to MEP for any metadata about the video, then adds the result to its database
• The user never knows MEP was queried
ADDED METADATA
• User adds annotations, commentary, tags, etc. to the video in MediaThread
• When the user publishes their work, MediaThread sends the user’s new metadata to MEP
ADDED METADATA
• The user’s metadata is added to what MEP knows about the video and what it sends to MediaThread next time that video is loaded
• If the Library of Congress can accept the new metadata, MEP will send it back to enhance the original source’s records
COMMENTARY
Commentary A woman can be seen rolling out a pie crust in the center of a table on a set of a kitchen. A pie is cooling on the sideboard. As the woman continues her work, the door opens and a big man dressed as a tattered tramp enters and gestures a request for food. The woman replies by hitting him with a rolling pin, knocking him to the floor.
