StreamOnTheFly: A Network for Radio Content Dissemination

A distributed digital library has been designed and implemented for the support of community radios. This framework, developed by the StreamOnTheFly IST project of the EU, provides a common background for preparation, archival, exchange and reuse of radio programs and supports radio personalization. The architecture is based on a decentralized network of software components using automatic metadata replication in a peer-to-peer manner. This approach combines the principles and practice of OAI (Open Archives Initiative) with the peer-to-peer networking paradigm, and extends usual content dissemination with the aggregation of use statistics and user feedback. The network also promotes social self-organization of the community and a new common metadata schema and content exchange format.
