content and based on a common container for any type of digital data, including
individuals and real-world objects (RWOs). This common container, called
Versatile Digital Item (VDI), is a structured packet of digital content and meta-
information, identified in a unique way (as a website URL could be) which extends
the concept of DigitalItem defined by the MPEG-21.
2) The interest of ESCoM and the ARA program in this project is related to the
fact that any use of an online video may be tracked via VDI technology. This opens
the way to a circulation of digital content and an appropriation of the latter which
respects the rights of their authors and owners. The chosen field of experimentation
is the production, diffusion and sharing of culturally sensitive contents forming part
of the intangible cultural heritage of the Quechua-speaking Andean communities
(see the AICHprogram* ).

R&D projects. Of these, the ASW-HSS project* is one of the most significant as it
has enabled the team to carry out more than 10 years of R&D dedicated to the
description, indexation and publication of audiovisual corpora in a digital context.
