00:00:05.910 --> 00:00:10.880
Now one of our biggest challenges is integrating
all these status and utilizing it on to the

2
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:21.009
system so that we can do things like for instance
search in one place for all of the media or

3
00:00:21.009 --> 00:00:25.340
go to an interview and see a list of time
quotes and click on a particular time and

4
00:00:25.340 --> 00:00:30.900
jump to a portion in a story or we can hear
somebody talking about a specific memory.

5
00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:36.060
I mean a lot of the systems actually that
I have been discussing with some of the other

6
00:00:36.060 --> 00:00:40.110
conference attendees give very similar things,
and I think that's one of the most interesting

7
00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:45.320
things when I've been talking to people who
have been coming by the table is that, I mean,

8
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:50.190
they are probably half a dozen, maybe a dozen
organizations represented here who are building

9
00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:52.530
systems very, very similar to StoryCorps.

10
00:00:52.530 --> 00:00:57.550
And what's really interesting as well is that
the relationships that we are building here

11
00:00:57.550 --> 00:01:03.079
all centered around this like how can we share
technology, like how can....there's an Ohms

12
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:10.570
project for instance which deals explicitly
with indexing and tagging of audio in some

13
00:01:10.570 --> 00:01:11.830
open source of platform.

14
00:01:11.830 --> 00:01:17.179
And so we are working to build a relationship
with him for instance, maybe somehow their

15
00:01:17.179 --> 00:01:19.580
technology can integrate with ours.

16
00:01:19.580 --> 00:01:24.110
Maybe we can work together to clap or maybe
there's something we can give back to them.

17
00:01:24.110 --> 00:01:28.660
One of the most exciting things about having
StoryCorps being hired of this amazing WebWise

18
00:01:28.660 --> 00:01:37.220
conferences that we are able to see and to
tap into the ways in which organizations and

19
00:01:37.220 --> 00:01:42.910
collections that are similar to ours are really
thinking both expensively and creatively about

20
00:01:42.910 --> 00:01:47.000
what it means knowing to be a born digital
archive.

21
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.310
But what it means to think about how that
archive might exist in the world and to interact

22
00:01:52.310 --> 00:01:59.640
with the public that's very interested in
seeing more of those materials.

23
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:06.050
We've seen presentations by you know, what
I consider to be peer institutions in places

24
00:02:06.050 --> 00:02:13.500
like the New York public library and other
places that are really thinking creatively

25
00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:20.220
about what it means to have a huge set of
data and not just to think about it as something

26
00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:28.200
that's archival or historical in scope but
something that can be engaging, compelling,

27
00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:31.330
useful and really exciting to consider.

28
00:02:31.330 --> 00:02:37.430
So I think that for us to be part of that
to see StoryCorps as part of that community

29
00:02:37.430 --> 00:02:44.340
with something that really furthers our original
mission which is the idea that the very simple

30
00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:50.040
act of two people talking to each other, talking
about the things that matter to them can not

31
00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:56.400
only be of interest to a radio audience but
can be of interest to future generations to

32
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:05.120
people who might not necessarily even have
a connection to N.P.R. or to some of our big

33
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.460
broadcast venues.

34
00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:17.250
And I think that we have been given a lot
of ideas about how to make our archive accessible

35
00:03:17.250 --> 00:03:22.770
and again intriguing to a lighter audience
and so it's been a really nice experience.
