Hi all,

I'd like to announce that the Open Video Project is now registered with OAI
as a data provider.  The Open Video OAI interface is:

http://www.open-video.org/oai/

As a general introduction:  The Open Video Project is an on-going effort to
develop an open source digital video collection that can be used by the
research community and ultimately serve an even broader audience.  The Open
Video collection currently contains video or metadata for 1653 digitized
video segments, in MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 formats.  Substantial
contributions have come from organizations such as the Internet Archive,
Carnegie Mellonıs Informedia Project, and the University of Marylandıs Human
Computer Interaction Laboratory.

Please send any comments or questions about the Open Video Project
(http://www.open-video.org) or our OAI interface to me at geisg@ils.unc.edu.

Thanks go to Michael Nelson from the NASA Langley Research Center for doing
the technical work to make this happen.
