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.

5 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 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.

15 Future Work Complete system implementation (digital library). Use content-based image retrieval techniques to get information which is not documented in the metadata of visual materials. Map chimp behavior ontology to the other animal behavior ontologies (i.e., Cornell animal behavior ontology).
