Last Year at STIP

2. Last Year at STIP Multimedia focus was on items that were/are clearly STI • Product type = CO • Criteria for deciding STI versus non-STI in a video • Rule of thumb for presentations if speaker not from your site • Formats MAVIS would be able to audio-index (or not) • How format would affect the processing flow of a video and determine its end destination • How to begin releasing saved STI videos to E-Link • How to create new AV records with the AN 241.1. Since then:

3. Look at the progress! You released 661 STI videos that are now in both ECD and ScienceCinema Program Offices are giving us STI videos NMWG completed work on STI and non-STI guidance for AV ScienceCinema enhanced with more complete metadata ECD enhanced so that AV records could be retrieved separately when desired, whatever their product type AN 241.1modified to allow product types to come in as AV media XML upload DTD modified to add tags and values for AV media Systems and processes modified so that all STI video formats, whether they can be audio-indexed by MAVIS or not, go to ECD and ScienceCinema

6. Sky’s the limit ! Spring 2012 – OSTI starts initiative to include quality information videos Winter 2012 – Microsoft commercializes MAVIS engine; OSTI builds new input interface and process for non-STI videos Fall 2011 – OSTI completes programming to include all formats of STI videos submitted via E-Link to both ECD and ScienceCinema Summer 2011 – OSTI enhances ScienceCinema records by adding more metadata from E-Link. STI videos being released by sites. Winter/Spring 2011 – “Jumpstart” projects indexes large backlog of STI videos into E-Link; plan is to build path for them to flow into ScienceCinema Test Bed 2009 Prototype 2010 Feb 2011 – Product launch of ScienceCinema

7. PALO ALTO, Calif. – April 3rd, 2012: GreenButton™, a cloud services company specializing in cloud enablement for software vendors and enterprises, today announced the availability of GreenButton inCus, a new audio indexing solution powered by the Microsoft Research Audio Video Indexing Service (“MAVIS”) running on Windows Azure. The service provides the ability to index audio from digitized content archives, which creates an optimized search and discovery experience that customers can utilize for managing their large digital media archives.

8. http://energy.gov/downloads/open-government-plan-20 ScienceCinema uses innovative, state-of-the-art audio indexing and speech recognition technology from Microsoft Research to allow users to quickly find videos produced by the DOE National Laboratories and other DOE research facilities. Energy Department National Laboratories can submit videos directly to OSTI for inclusion in ScienceCinema. Through continued collaboration withLaboratories, ScienceCinema supports openness and transparency initiatives within the multimedia environment, while allowing the Laboratories to expand their interactions with stakeholders and the general public. A year after its initial launch, ScienceCinema offers search of 1,600 videos on diverse topics such as climate change, green technologies, energy innovation, fusion science, and other key initiatives including Energy Frontier Research Centers. As ScienceCinema continues to grow and expand with additional content from the Laboratories and other DOE research facilities, its pioneering search and retrieval capability for multimedia-based science will maximize the use and impact of the Department’s research results. Through the use of this technology, scientific and research communities can now find relevant information amongst vast amounts of multimedia content. Expected Completion: On-demand video-indexing implemented March 2012. Indexing service to accommodate additional video formats expected Winter 2012-2013.

9. Today – A New Phase of Growth • Labs will continue to submit STI videos to E-Link that will flow to both ECD and ScienceCinema - Program Offices are getting involved in sending STI videos (EFRC Program from SC, ARPA-E, EERE multimedia from EE) • OSTI is beginning a project that will put other high-quality AV directly into ScienceCinema Information Videos

10. Intent: Explain, in terms non-scientists understand, a process, project, discovery, scientific instrument, etc. ScienceCinema guidance: Submission not required but may be added to Science Cinema via the ScienceCinema Information Videos interface. Run time: 00:03:59 Gasification - A Cornerstone TechnologyThe gasification process converts carbon-based materials such as coal into synthesis gas (syngas) that can be used to produce clean electrical energy, transportation fuels, and chemicals efficiently and cost-effectively. Gasification is a cornerstone technology of 21st century zero emissions powerplants. Office of Fossil Energy

11. Intent: Provide virtual tours of labs, project sites, user facilities, or new scientific instruments to show public what’s there or what goes on there…in order to promote good will for the facility, garner funding, be “transparent,” allay environmental fears, etc. ScienceCinema guidance: Submission not required but may be added to ScienceCinema via the ScienceCinema Information Videos interface.

12. Intent: Show Secretary of Energy or other high-level DOE or Lab officials making brief remarks at a press conference, visit to a lab, college graduation, building dedication, etc. DOE Under Secretary for Science Dr. Steven Koonin introduces the Department’s first Quadrennial Technology Review (QTR), a process that was recently initiated to provide a context and framework for improving long-term planning of DOE’s energy activities Run time: 00:01:47 ScienceCinema guidance: Submitter makes a “judgment call” based on level of science-focused content. (May exclude funding announcements, speeches to mark holidays or special “weeks”) Depending on content, length, etc., item may be submitted via either AN 241.1 (STI) or via the ScienceCinema Information Videos interface.

13. Capture memories of an era, project, or instrument because of its historical importance Run time: 00:23:14 Another judgment call, probably STI, submit via a 241.1 mechanism This 1993 documentary chronicles the Bevatron at Berkeley Lab. During its operation from 1954 until 1993, the Bevatron was among the world's leading particle accelerators, and during the 1950s and 1960s, four Nobel Prizes were awarded for work conducted in whole or in part there. The accelerator made major contributions in four distinct areas of research: high-energy particle physics, nuclear heavy-ion physics, medical research and therapy, and space-related studies of radiation damage and heavy particles in space.

14. Intent:Provide specific information for consumers and industry on how to do something or how to qualify to be part of an initiative February 23, 2011: High-Performance Rooftop Unit Specification Overview for Building Owners and Operators DOE worked with members of the Commercial Building Energy Alliances (CBEA), including Target and Walmart, to develop new performance criteria for high-performance rooftop units (RTUs). To achieve the best-in-class RTUs requested by industry partners, DOE is encouraging manufacturers to follow this new specification. This webinar provided an overview of the specification and how it will benefit building owners and operators. Learn more about the specification on the High Performance Rooftop Unit Challenge Web page. • Presentation slides • Webinar recording (WMV 15 MB). Text version of the audio.

15. Information Videos: Where Are They?

16. How will they get to • ScienceCinema ? • Identification • Evaluation and Selection (or not) • Coordination and Permission • Input and Processing • Notification

17. ScienceCinema, still a fledgling product, has flown out of the nest into the “big time” Much to do: More audio-indexed content More content from grantees Animations and podcasts? Canned searches? Browsing capability? What else?
