1 A Digital Library to Archive Research Material from Jane Goodall's Gombe Chimpanzee Project www.goodall.msi.umn.edu www.goodall.msi.umn.edu PI : Prof. Anne Pusey (Dept. of Ecology) Co-PIs : Prof. Shashi Shekhar (Dept. of Computer Science) Prof. Jaideep Srivastava (Dept. of Computer Science) RA: Mete Celik (Dept. of Computer Science) Sponsor: Digital Technology Center

2 2 Jane Goodall's Gombe chimpanzee project has been continuing in Gombe National Park, Tanzania since 1960. (www.janegoodall.org)www.janegoodall.org Jane Goodall Institute Center for Primate Studies at the University of Minnesota (www.discoverchimpanzees.org)www.discoverchimpanzees.org Jane Goodall's Gombe Chimpanzee Project

3 3 Research Materials Thousands of 35mm still chimpanzee photographs.  600 hours of chimpanzee video recorded at Gombe since 1993.  Annotation information (metadata) about visual materials. Bill Wallauer JGI videographer

4 4 Bill Wallauer’s Video Database

5 5 Research Materials Field notes  Daily checklists Maps

6 6 Problem Statement Given: Video, photographs recorded at Gombe about chimpanzees. Metadata of video and photographs. Objective: Digitize visual materials and create a database using metadata to index and access to these materials. Make a demo of digital library which is accessible by the researchers and public through the web.

7 7 Related Work  Indiana Animal Behavior Information storing, sharing project. (www.indiana.edu/~ethobank)www.indiana.edu/~ethobank Cornell Animal Behavior Ontology and NSDL Animal Metadata Standard Project (ethodata.comm.nsdl.org)ethodata.comm.nsdl.org

8 8 Digital Library An organized collection of knowledge, stored in digital/electronic format, and accessible to users via digital/electronic interface technologies. [digitalib.geometaphors.com/west/glossary/ ]digitalib.geometaphors.com/west/glossary/ In our case, digitized chimpanzee video and photographs will be accessible to users through the web.

9 9 Project Flow Chart Digitization Store in Video Server Store in Database Server Web Server Make Video Clips VideoPhotographs Metadata Researchers Public Video Photographs Design Database

10 10 Project Tasks Completed Video, database, web server setup Visual material digitization Digital library prototype (for public and researchers) Database design In Progress Data cleaning and loading data to database tables Storing video clips and photographs in different resolutions. User requirements analysis (query types, user interface) Mapping chimp behavior ontology to the Cornell animal behavior ontology

12 12 ER Diagram of the Database

13 13 Search Screen for Public (Google-like) Query: Show me video clips which have information about gremlin (chimp) and tool (behavior code)

14 14 Search Results

15 15 Search Results

16 16 Detailed Search Screen Query: Show me video clips whose target chimp is “gremlin” and contains information about chimp “gaia” and behavior “travel”

17 17 Search Results
