CS6604, Digital Library 2005 Superimposed Application Contract (This is the revised contract. For the old contract, see DigLib05SIConOld).

Project title:

• A multimedia superimposed application that reuses SPARCE

Project brief description:

Develop a multimedia superimposed application for use over multi-media base content. The application must provide "synchronization" features similar to those provided in the Amsterdam model and the TEI Guideline. It must demonstrate the ability to simultaneously and sequentially "navigate to" or "play" base content in audio, video, and text format.

Project client:

• Sudarshan Murthy, Ph.D. student at Portland State U., smurthy@cs.pdx.edu
• Approved on date: Sudarshan Murthy, Sep. 08, 2005.
• Professor Edward A. Fox, fox@vt.edu

Project deliverables (DigLib05SIDetailedDeliverables):

• A design for a multimedia superimposed application. The design should describe:
  • The conceptual information model: The information model should be different from that used in Sidepad (tree structure).
  • The user interface (UI) model
  • The storage model.
  • The application architecture.
• A stand-alone superimposed application that reuses SPARCE at binary level.
  • Prototype
  • Final application
• Example superimposed documents created using the new application:
  • The SI documents must be over at least two distinct corpora of base documents: Each student must create a different version of SI document over each corpus.
  • For example, a base corpus might be a collection of classical music (audio), lyrics (text) and matching vizualizations (video). Each student must create a different SI document over this corpus. The set of marks each student uses over this corpus could intersect or be disjoint.
• Midterm report due on 10/20/2005
• Midterm presentation on 11/1/2005
• Final report due on 11/29/2005
• Final presentation on 11/29/2005
