VRA Conference Atlanta 2010

The schedule for the 2010 VRA Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA is available online.

MDID will continue to be represented with the MDID Users Group meeting on Thursday, March 18, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm.

We will also be part of an Ask the Experts session, probably the one on Friday, March 19, from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, although this could still change.

Hope to see you there!

Development Update

Development work on MDID 3 has continued throughout the summer and fall and we have made significant progress with the application core and frontend support. The MDID user interface and management tools are only partially complete at this time and require some additional work.

At this time we are targeting the 2010 Annual VRA Conference in March for the official release.

We are also experimenting with MDID 3 as the backend for different multimedia web applications here at JMU. We will shortly switch JMUtube, our faculty video site, to use MDID 3 as the data management system. The Shenandoah Valley Oral History Project will be another showcase for this new functionality.
