Advene: an open-source framework for integrating and visualising audiovisual metadata

The open-source Advene prototype offers a framework for integrating and visualising audiovisual metadata. It allows users to define by themselves, according to their specific tasks, the structure of the metadata as well as the different ways in which it should be visualised. By storing metadata and visualisation specifications independently from the audiovisual document, it allows to share analyses and comments on any audiovisual document. Its open nature and simple principles make it an ideal testbed for experimentation with new audiovisual metadata interaction modalities.
