Imagine trying to find one specific clip in a mountain of old tapes and films from the last century. This project builds a smart digital filing system that lets archives upload and organize these videos and sounds easily. It's like creating a giant, searchable library for Europe's audiovisual history so researchers and creators can actually find and use the footage.
Audiovisual archives are often massive and underexplored because they lack standardized digital tools for ingestion and search. This makes it difficult for creative industries and researchers to find and reuse historical media.
The project is building AV extensions for the ECCCH and testing a Collection Ingestion Tool (CIT) through 15 real-life scenarios.
If you are a film studio dealing with massive amounts of uncatalogued historical footage — this project developed 15 real-life use cases to integrate AV heritage into a cloud system that improves how media is curated and reused.
If you are a software company dealing with gaps in how audiovisual data is modeled — this project developed AV extensions and a Collection Ingestion Tool (CIT) to better handle time-based media.
If you are a museum dealing with the difficulty of exhibiting old audio and video recordings — this project developed testing for preservation and exhibition services to make these assets accessible to the public.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as this is a Horizon-IA funded research project.
The project tests its tools through 15 real-life use cases and involves a consortium of 9 partners, including a software enterprise and film studio, suggesting a focus on scalable application.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project aims to integrate these functionalities into the ECCCH.
The project specifically tests the Collection Ingestion Tool (CIT) and provides AV extensions to fill gaps in existing data models and vocabularies.
The project period runs from 2026-10-01 to 2029-03-31, with testing occurring in two distinct stages.
The consortium is a balanced mix of 9 partners across 5 countries, featuring a 22% industry ratio. It combines academic research (3 universities, 3 research organizations) with practical application (2 industry partners, including a software enterprise and a film studio), ensuring that the technical developments are grounded in actual archival and production needs.
