- 2. WHAT IS MEP?
- 3. CURRENT MODEL • User clicks MediaThread bookmarklet on Library of Congress video • MediaThread bookmarklet scrapes metadata from Library of Congress and stores it in MediaThread’s local database
- 4. 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
- 5. ADDED METADATA • User adds annotations, commentary, tags, etc. to the video in MediaThread • When the user publishes their work, MediaThread sends the user’s new metadata to MEP
- 6. ADDED METADATA • The user’s 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 source’s records
