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

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.

4. Research Materials • Field notes • Daily checklists • Maps

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.

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

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/ ] • In our case, digitized chimpanzee video and photographs will be accessible to users through the web.

9. 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

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). • Co-occurrence mining • NSF project: “Collaborative Research: SEI: Spatio-temporal Data Analysis for Behavioral Ecology” (ITR-0431141)
