Open Media Production Environment
This is one of the eligible activities in the Pilot Projects scheme.
An Open Media Production Environment can be seen as a shared 'virtual office' accessible to all members of a production team.
Background
The emergence of integrated workflows based on open standards for the production and exchange of content and metadata can have a far reaching effect for all areas of the audiovisual industry. New powerful tools in the production area can be designed on new open semantic standards.
The competitiveness of the European Industry depends on its ability to meet the multiplicity of needs by exploiting new methods of creating, indexing, cataloguing and delivering content. The specification of an open media production environment with the associated metadata and controls from the beginning of the production process will improve the efficiency of both the production and distribution of content.
The action should specify the global architecture required, synergies and complementarities, as well as the extent of interoperability, inside an open design facilitating co-production at the European level.
Purpose
The purpose of such an action is to encourage the production of content within an integrated semantic environment by production companies. Access to such content to all involved should be facilitated by the use of graphical interfaces and navigation tools. This will assist the collaborative process.
Actions to be selected under this action line should demonstrate their ability to handle semantic integration and promote the use of open exchange standards and common practices at the European level. Recommendations for the sustainability of audiovisual content, for program creation and distribution, new digital delivery contexts and the exchange of information on rights should be included in the design.
