Description
A proposal for a new architecture for archiving lectures, presentations and seminars on the Web based on a Lecture Object will be presented.
The Lecture Object concept is designed to allow the archiving process to be independent of the production and viewing tools, and for the archive to be persistent over a number of technological cycles.
This work has been undertaken in the context of the Web Lecture Archive Project, a collaboration between CERN HR Training and Development group and the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. To date some 250 lectures have been archived and are viewable worldwide using standard Web browsers and freely available video player software.
Note: Everyone attending the seminar is invited after the presentation to celebrate the speaker's receipt of the degree of Laurea and to say farewell at the end of his technical student contract.
