Currently, I\u2019m developing a hardware and software idea to automate the telling of stories by time and place.<\/p>\n<p>We organize our lives by time and place. Time and place shape life experiences. We remember life experiences by time and place. Our virtual lives, too, can be organized by time and place, in order to better tell our stories.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve outgrown our digital \u201cdesktops\u201d. We\u2019re drowning in data. Our document folders are proliferating. We\u2019ve become accustomed to common file structure taxonomies and hyperlinks, but sometimes can\u2019t find what we\u2019re looking for, and struggle to translate data into information and knowledge. Information and knowledge are more readily accessible if we are able to read data as stories.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s organize <em>My Documents<\/em> by <em>My Stories<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If all digital media had automated and authenticated timestamps and placestamps in file metadata, we could archive and access them by time and place, enabling us to more easily weave together our recorded stories.<\/p>\n<p>Digital media that can be seen, heard, read, arrayed, and aggregated by time and place (the organizing structure of our lives) tell individual and collective stories. Thus, if all globally shared digital media could be easily accessed with a few clicks, they would readily tell stories from varying points of view of all times and of all places. These interactive stories, \u201crecorded\u201d by any number of people, could be \u201ccomposed\u201d by any number of other people, thus expanding the meaning of \u201cshared experiences\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><em>My Stories<\/em> become <em>Our Stories<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The greater vision for this storytelling idea is understanding. Patterns of events and human behaviors that are revealed by individual, local community, and global community stories from different points of view could lead to greater understandings of ourselves and others.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve developed theoretical and prototypical components of my idea: a metadata-driven architecture for streaming digital media (image, sound, text, etc.) into stories. I\u2019ve documented my work to date. Next steps include finding fellow travelers, discovering synergies with others, and developing pilot projects to explore applications of the idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Metadata to Meta Views My work is about storytelling by time and place.
