Welcome to the AdA Annotation Explorer repository! Here you will find all the results of the AdA project that were developed at the Hasso Plattner Institute as part of the Linked Data work packages.
The AdA project (German abbreviation for "Affektrhetoriken des Audiovisuellen" - "Audio-Visual Rhetorics of Affect") was a cooperation of the film studies department of the Freie Universtät Berlin and the Semantic Technologies Group of the Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Engineering (HPI) in Potsdam. The aim of this interdisciplinary research group was to support empirical film studies through tool-based semantic video annotation and automated video analytics.
In particular, the repository contains:
The folder filmontology contains the AdA Filmontology, a systematic vocabulary and data model of film-analytical terms and concepts for fine-grained semantic video annotations.
The folder advene_template contains an AZP template package for the Advene Annotation Software, with which audiovisual content can be annotated according to AdA Filmontology.
The folder corpus_metadata contains the metadata of the video corpus on the topic of "financial crisis", which was created and used during the project.
The folder annotations contains all manual annotations (approx. 125,000) created by the film scholars at FU Berlin and all automatically generated annotations (approx. 440,000) created by extractors developed within the project.
The folder ada-ae contains the software stack of the Annotation Explorer front end and back end for running the web-based application for querying, analyzing and visualizing semantic video annotations.
