This is the current placeholder/draft home page for the media suite. It directs the user to available recipes, tools, available functionalities, APIs and datasets.

Search API and Annotation API are currently the APIs the media suite functionalities are built upon. The search API is connected to the index that contain all data imported from CKAN. The annotation API enables one to store & access all (W3C Web Annotation compliant) annotations

This is CKAN, the collection registry for CLARIAH WP5 media studies and currently the only way to provide collection data to the system. This instance of CKAN is reserved for ‘official institutional’ datasets. In a later phase of the project we will think about providing proper means to upload/share custom datasets, such as scraped twitter data or youtube collections.
