The aim of this online journal is to step up from June 2009 until December 2010 as a minimum an observatory of new practices, both individually and collectively, these being specifically considered in terms of qualitative changes induced by the emergence of technologies of high-speed transmission ( fiber, WiMAX, WiFi -n, LTE, etc..), and in the context of their relationship with the issue of decentralized social networks of mobility, communication devices, and emerging forms of grammatisation or write audio and video.
Unlike the Anglo-Saxon dominance, where the term annotation tends to denote any metadata that is produced by a man or a machine, is preferred for this research subject a distinction between the process of indexing (or more generally phase of knowledge engineering which also covers the definition of ontologies ) and the annotation process (rather than on the document engineering and production of metadata or human assisted).
This research claims empirical in that it starts from the analysis of cultural practices identified including operating chains of annotations that will be instrumenting (in the sense of organology generally defined by B. Stiegler ) to help overcome them.
Research indexing tools, essential in the field of critical equipment, even if it is closely linked to the activity of annotation, then only intervenes.
An important aspect of this theme is of course the development of technologies for monitoring and administration of exchanges, debates and controversies about the supported languages annotation mentioned in the previous axis.
The IRI has initiated a research program on the development of new devices critical to promote the emergence of a new figure of the "amateur" in case a visitor to a museum.
Confrontation of museum experiences and reflections with theoretical and scientific analysis of the impact of the new arrangements address the public on cultural practices at the heart of this axis.
Inspired by the "timelines" on the benches commonly used digital editing time lines provides a graphical representation of a film, its spatialization, revealing immediately and in full, its division.
