14. CURRENT MODEL User clicks Mediathread bookmarklet on
Library of Congress video Mediathread bookmarklet scrapes metadata
from Library of Congress and stores it in MediaThreads local
database Scalar embeds media in a similar way, but uses search APIs
rather than a bookmarklet and scraping.
15. NEW MODEL User loads a controlled vocabulary into
Mediathread to use for tagging Later, Scalar will use the same
vocabulary to help import Mediathreads annotations into a Scalar
book
16. SIDELOADED METADATA Mediathread sends a second request to
MEP for any metadata about the video, then adds the result to its
database The user never knows MEP was queried
17. ADDED METADATA User and colleauges add annotations,
commentary, tags, etc. to the video in Mediathread When the user
publishes their work, Mediathread sends the users new metadata to
MEP
18. ADDED METADATA The users metadata is added to what MEP
knows about the video and what it sends to Mediathread next time
that video is loaded If the Library of Congress can accept the new
metadata, MEP will send it back to enhance the original sources
records
19. CONNECTIVITY Later, the user decides they want to use
Scalars presentation tools to publish the annotations they made in
Mediathread When the user imports the same piece of media into
Scalar, it queries MEP to see if it has any annotations for that
URL and imports any that it finds
