Forse si può usare la pista English UK per i veri sottotitoli inglesi.

"10.3263 - Postulato La Svizzera ha bisogno di una legge contro lo scaricamento illegale di musica da Internet? Depositato da Savary Géraldine Data del deposito 19.03.2010 Depositato in Consiglio degli Stati Stato attuale Trasmesso Testo depositato Il Consiglio federale è incaricato di redigere un rapporto sulla situazione in fatto di scaricamento illegale di musica da Internet e di studiare le misure per ovviare a tale problema (...) Parere del Consiglio federale del 12.05.2010 Il 1° luglio 2008 è entrata in vigore una revisione parziale della legge sul diritto d'autore, con cui sono state apportate le modifiche legali necessarie in ambito digitale. A tale proposito il Parlamento ha discusso anche se permettere l'uso personale pure nei casi in cui l'opera in questione viene messa a disposizione su Internet senza il consenso del titolare del diritto. Dopo intensi dibattiti il Parlamento ha rinunciato a limitare i casi in cui è consentito l'uso personale. A suo avviso, una tale limitazione è sproporzionata, inconciliabile con la protezione della sfera privata e comporta una poco auspicata criminalizzazione di massa dei consumatori. Gli stessi timori depongono anche a sfavore dell'introduzione di una normativa legale analoga alla soluzione francese, che prevede di bloccare l'accesso a Internet ai privati in caso di violazioni ripetute. Tuttavia il titolare del diritto non è sprovvisto di protezione. In virtù del diritto d'autore ha la possibilità di procedere sia contro i fornitori sia contro i gestori di piattaforme di "file sharing". Una tale procedura va privilegiata anche per motivi di economia processuale. Appare infatti più opportuno procedere contro un gestore di piattaforma piuttosto che contro tutti gli utenti della piattaforma in questione. Eventualmente si potrebbe prevedere, d'intesa con i gestori di piattaforme, di concludere un accordo di licenza per il "file sharing" dei loro utenti. L'attuale legge sul diritto d'autore

"Here's the problem: web video is beginning to rival television, but there isn't a good open resource for subtitling. Here's our mission: we're trying to make captioning, subtitling, and translating video publicly accessible in a way that's free and open, just like the Web. Our approach: Make a simple and ubiquitous way to request, create, and translate subtitles for any video Work with others to define open protocols so that whenever subtitles for a video exist, any website or video player will be able to retrieve them Create a community space for people who subtitle video, to encourage contributions and facilitate collaboration" Posted April 13, 2010 by amarasubs.

Se avessi lasciato l'intitolato basato sul tag "title", questo segnalibro sarebbe intitolato: "Subtitles and Captions for Every Video on the Web | Amara - Buy captions, video translations, transcriptions, and crowd subtitling". - con la parte prima del | il titolo del primo post del 13 aprile 2010 del blog di Amara (allora Universal Subtitles": "Sottotitoli tradotti e per sordi per ogni video online" - e con la seconda parte dopo l'|, che dà il titolo attuale del blogo, cioè "Amara - Compra sottotitoli, traduzioni di video, trascrizioni e sottotitolazione di massa" Quite a change...

I am currently investigating file formats for long-term preservation. Obviously they must be free of proprietary ownership and publicly accessible and avoid vendor-locking - even if the vendor is a non-profit organization. What I wonder: which conditions must a video file format fulfill to permit captioning / subtitling? Are there public and open standards of formats for captioning / subtitling? Where do I find them? Can they be enriched with metadata about the author of the subtitles?

"In March 2009 Tony Hirst posted a solution for Twitter Powered Subtitles for Conference Audio/Videos on Youtube. A year and a half later, numerous evenings tweaking code, lots of support, advice and promotion from Tony, Brian Kelly and others, and we have come full circle. What began for me as a method to playback real-time tweets with the BBC iPlayer has returned to its origins, Twitter powered subtitles for a conference video on YouTube."

È un film stupendo di per sé. È molto interessante anche la "video description" (audio descrizione) per i non vedenti. Forse una possibile attività, non dico in L2, ma nella formazione linguistica in generale?

"By Larry Seltzer for Zero Day | March 24, 2014 -- 19:16 GMT (12:16 PDT) Microsoft announced today that an unpatched vulnerability in Microsoft Word is being exploited in the wild. All versions of Microsoft Word, both Mac and Windows, and several related programs like the Word Viewer and Word Automation Services on Microsoft SharePoint Server are also vulnerable, but the current attacks are directed at Microsoft Word 2010. Exploits such as these are often version-specific, and in targeted attacks, such as this appears to be, the attacker may already know which version he needs to exploit. Microsoft also says that Microsoft Outlook could also be exploited with such an RTF file if Word were set as the viewer for Outlook. In the default configuration Word is the viewer in Outlook 2007, 2010 and 2013."

"Your payment to Ning was declined - First Notice : My point is it will always decline * Posted by Badan Barman on August 23, 2010 at 1:02am in Plans and Pricing * View Discussions Just one minute before, I received this message. Its frustrating. If not hundred, I request several time to Ning to come forward to make the payment successfully. I open help ticket, I post in forum, (CHARGE MY VISA CARD FOR THE IMMEDIATE PAYMENT, I Need Personal Assistant from Ning to Make the Payment Successfully) I personally wrote to Ning employee through email (Eric Suesz), i post as scrap. Still why you are charging my card after 23 hours of validity. You will absolutely get nothing after 23 hours from my card. Hey Ning can you please let me know exactly at what time of tomorrow you will again charge my card.So that I can enter the details of a fresh card just before you charge the card for payment?"

"Livemocha is a social network service that supports language learning through audio-visual lessons and peer tutoring tools. Launched in September 2007, the platform has over 5 million registered members from over 200 countries. Lessons are provided for 36 different languages. While the standard lessons are freely accessible for registered users, the platform also offers "premium content" for a fee. Livemocha is more than just "Rosetta Stone on the Web." A unique selling point of the educational Web community is its collaborative approach to language learning: Members of the Livemocha community do not only learn a foreign language, they also tutor other community members in their native language. Users are encouraged to form learning tandems and offer feedback on their partner's speaking or writing exercises. The Livemocha platform supports this peer learning practice through comment features, voice recording and social awareness tools. For ETC Journal, I interviewed Clint Schmidt, Livemocha's Vice President of Marketing and Products. Clint has an impressive success record of developing marketing and product functions for a variety of high-growth Internet companies, including Half.com, eBay and ZoomIn.com, India's leading photo sharing and printing site. Clint holds a BSE in Entrepreneurial Management from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania."

M'ero dimenticata questo post. Per fortuna me l'ha ricordato uno spammer che ha cercato di farvi un trackback, il ché ha suscitato una notifica via email. Cosa interessante: il video originale dell'UNESCO esiste ancora, e può essere embeddato, salvo sul mio blog Webmultimediale.org In effetti, se si cerca di farlo partire, appare soltanto: "This video contains content from Unesco, who has blocked it from display on this website. Watch on YouTube". Mo' proverò a rifare il post sul blog Wordpress.

Correzione: non funziona l'embed nemmeno sul blog WordPress . Ero stata tratta in inganno dal fatto che il codice embed del video continua ad essere offerto per il video originale in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC4lkyBc-1k : E anche qui dà lo stesso risultato bloccato:

"Posted by Dario Taraborelli on August 2, 2012 Improving the quality of articles has long been one of the primary aims of contributors to Wikipedia, and is one of the Wikimedia movement's 2010-15 strategic priorities, but measuring it objectively has remained a challenge. In 2005, Nature famously reported that Wikipedia articles on scientific topics contained just four errors per article on average, compared to three errors per article in the online edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica. Britannica objected to the report, but Nature stood by it, and the report remains widely cited today. Since that time, however, there have been relatively few independent analyses of Wikipedia article quality, despite the enormous growth of the project. Wikipedia today counts more than 23 million articles across languages (more than 4 million articles in the English Wikipedia alone) compared to 3.7 million total articles in 2005; today it ranks 6th by overall traffic according to Alexa, while it ranked 37th in 2005. (...) The Wikimedia Foundation is announcing the release of a pilot study conducted by Epic, an e-learning consultancy, in partnership with Oxford University - "Assessing the Accuracy and Quality of Wikipedia Entries Compared to Popular Online Alternative Encyclopaedias: A Preliminary Comparative Study Across Disciplines in English, Spanish and Arabic." The study compared a sample of English Wikipedia articles to equivalent articles in Encyclopaedia Britannica, Spanish Wikipedia to Enciclonet, and Arabic Wikipedia to Mawsoah and Arab Encyclopaedia. 22 articles in the sample were blind-assessed by 2 to 3 native speaking academic experts each, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The small size of the sample does not allow us to generalize the results to Wikipedia as a whole. However, as a pilot primarily focused on methodology, the study offers new insights into the design of a protocol for expert assessment of encyclopedic contents. For our editor community a
