However, those tools are most of the time standalone applications and it is more difficult to combine various records. A good illustration of this situation is research projects with moving image as main (re)source. Scholars record current events and interview contemporary witnesses like historic or ethnographic projects. Here, moving images or videos need to be transcribed which could be a "simple" interview transcription. But in some disciplines like sociology or film and media studies, these multimedia objects must be extended which complexify the process. In those cases, scholars would also like to annotate the source, to describe the composition of the image, the soundtrack, or the movement of the camera. It's a linkage between various sources and descriptions. The ques...

Existing software solutions facilitate the work, but are often limited to the medium of film. At our institute we are developing a virtual research environment called SALSAH (System for annotation and linkage of sources in arts and humanities). The question was, when we have the digitized data, what will we do with them? We will not just archive, we will use them. SALSAH is a totally web based platform for researcher in a private and for public users in a restricted environment. The tools are search, annotate, mark regions on images and link all objects with other objects. And now we are creating a new module for working with motion picture and audio files.
