Metavid: Video Archive of the US Congress (Collaborative Thesis Project with Aphid Stern)

Begun as a DANM thesis project and continued with funding from the Sunlight Foundation, Metavid is a community driven archive of legislative video from both houses of the U.S. Congress, spanning from early 2006 to the present. This archive is searchable by speaker name, spoken text, date, metadata we've scraped from outside sources and user contributions. Metavid fuses video with wiki, enabling users improve its accuracy by fixing transcripts and annotating speeches.
