14. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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
