What is MIC?: What is MIC? Window to the world’s moving image collections for discovery, access, preservation
Research and Collaboration portal - providing new technology base and research space for moving image organizations.
Portal for integrating moving images into 21st century learning.
Library of Congress / Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) Collaboration.
Significant contribution to the semantic web.
What is MIC: What is MIC A project of NSF’s National Science Digital Library (NSDL)
Well, really the National Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Digital Library
www.nsdl.org
A major national source for access to any kind of information about the sciences, aimed at K-16 education
119 NSF funded projects are contributing to the NSDL
The MIC Mission: The MIC Mission
To immerse moving images in the education mainstream, recognizing that what society uses, it values, and what it values, it preserves.

The MIC Approach: The MIC Approach PROBLEM:
There is no one place for discovery of moving image materials
Union Catalog: Union Catalog The 'Who has what' database
Must reach across entire spectrum of collections
large, high-profile collections
small, specialized collections
public/private/non-profit
television stations/networks/motion picture studios
theatrical features andamp; home movies/fiction andamp; non-fiction/edited andamp; unedited, avant-garde/experimental, etc.
multitude of formats
Union Catalog: Union Catalog Maps/displays/exports in various metadata schema
MARC for interoperability, esp. with print materials
Dublin Core (XML) for data sharing, ease of use
MPEG-7 for non-textual indexing, segmenting
IEEE LOM for educational portals (Science goes to the movies)
Each archive’s own schema - for local ownership
Solution: MIC Core Registry of data elements specific to any moving image collections
Core Metadata Registry Maps: Core Metadata Registry Maps
The MIC Approach: The MIC Approach PROBLEM:
Not all repositories will contribute to a union catalog
Archive Directory: Archive Directory Searchable directory of moving image repositories
Contact information, home page URL, logo
Collection strengths (forms, subjects) and size
Activities (programming, preservation, cataloging, etc.)
How to obtain materials, etc. Pre-test ended January 17, 2003
Revision of data elements underway!
Archive Directory: Archive Directory Generates 'domain maps' to generate dynamic graphical representations of the community
University of Washington, in collaboration with Internet-2, will develop Shibboleth Authentication/Authorization for organization data managers--to edit and manage their own directory entry.
Archive Directory: Archive Directory Means for user to pre-select archives to search against

Text-based alphabetic browsing will also be provided.
The MIC Approach: The MIC Approach
Once we have the ability to accept records, who will contribute?
The MIC Approach: The MIC Approach PROBLEM:
Repositories don’t want calls for unavailable/restricted films.
Some organizations don’t serve the public but will loan to other archives. Description with Archive Data: Description with Archive Data Osa Johnson in Africa.

The MIC Approach: The MIC Approach PROBLEM:
Many repositories lack the infrastructure to catalog effectively
Slide25: Cataloging Utility A front-end input form that allows a participating organization to: Create a record directly in a core format
Feed that record into the mapping utility and the export utility
Export the record to the home organizations database In collaboration with the ViDe and RUL, provide a downloadable
database in an open-source or low-cost RDBMS that supports both
Dublin Core and MPEG-7, for use by current and potential MIC
participants. Database Developer: Yang Yu, RUL

The MIC Approach: The MIC Approach PROBLEM:
Many smaller repositories lack a web presence
The MIC Approach: The MIC Approach PROBLEM:
Different users have different needs
Create searching portals:
General public
