China Local Video Archives

The PITFs developed a tagging ontology and optimized 2,260 video clips for progressive download.

Teaching Challenge:

Foreign Cultures 81 provided an inquiry into social and cultural life in China, past and present, through an exploration of the patterns of everyday life over the last thousand years in a single region. The goal of the project was to develop an online system for tagging primary source video clips using a hierarchical ontology, thus allowing aggregated searches.
