https://www.mediainfo.com/news/ News from MediaINFO: new capabilities of the platform, projects, events and press. en Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.mediainfo.com/news/find-duplicates-and-more-like-this/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/find-duplicates-and-more-like-this/ Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT A switch on the browse page turns a listing into its duplicates — the same file imported twice, a rescan, a crop, a copied passage — and a compare panel to decide on. More like this now starts from any photograph, region or article, and the filters keep working inside the neighbours. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/ask-the-archive-a-question/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/ask-the-archive-a-question/ Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT A toggle beside the search box turns it into a question box: describe what you want in plain language and the request becomes a search, with every filter it applied shown as a chip you can remove. Available when licensed. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/a-newspaper-page-arrives-as-its-articles/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/a-newspaper-page-arrives-as-its-articles/ Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT Layout analysis turns a page into its stories — headline, columns, picture and caption held together — each with the order a reader reads it in, in either direction. An article can then be searched, opened, edited, compared, cited and downloaded on its own. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/video-by-what-changes-on-screen/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/video-by-what-changes-on-screen/ Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT Stills are taken where the picture actually changes rather than at fixed intervals, and only the frames worth keeping are stored — which is what a picture search matches a video on. A licensed video analysis adds chapters that cover the whole recording, each titled, summarised and seekable. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/mediainfo-at-afli-2025/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/mediainfo-at-afli-2025/ Thu, 27 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT 23rd – 25th November, Doha, Qatar MediaINFO Digital Library took part at the 36th Arab Federation for Libraries and information Conference AFLI 2025 at Multaqa, Education City in… https://www.mediainfo.com/news/the-same-face-across-the-whole-archive/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/the-same-face-across-the-whole-archive/ Tue, 04 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT Faces are located in images and in video and matched to person records, so a name given once reaches every other appearance. Public-people packs, available in certain countries and regions, label public figures automatically — and the people your team names stay private to your installation. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/reading-the-page-as-it-was-printed/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/reading-the-page-as-it-was-printed/ Tue, 16 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT Recognition built for what archives actually hold — newspapers, books, catalogue cards, forms and manuscripts, printed or handwritten, in either reading direction — and coverage can be extended to a hand or a typeface it does not yet read. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/speech-becomes-a-place-you-can-jump-to/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/speech-becomes-a-place-you-can-jump-to/ Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT Audio tracks from video and audio files are transcribed with their timings, so a search that matches a spoken phrase returns the moment it was said rather than the whole recording. The same pass produces the captions and subtitles. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/in-place-upgrades-with-automatic-rollback/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/in-place-upgrades-with-automatic-rollback/ Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 GMT An update is fetched and verified, the installation and its configuration are snapshotted, and the updated system has to pass a health gate and a functional check before the update commits. Any failure before that point rolls the installation back automatically. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/search-across-languages-from-one-question/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/search-across-languages-from-one-question/ Tue, 21 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT A query typed in one language reaches material written in others: it is matched against the extracted text and against every translated rendition, and the hit is highlighted where it sits on the original page. The passage is marked as a translation, and the original characters never move. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/a-guinnes-world-record-for-the-largest-arabic-language-dictionary/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/a-guinnes-world-record-for-the-largest-arabic-language-dictionary/ Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT 18th December 2024, Sharjah, UAE His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, received the Guinness World Records… https://www.mediainfo.com/news/mediainfo-at-dubai-international-library-conference-2024/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/mediainfo-at-dubai-international-library-conference-2024/ Sun, 17 Nov 2024 00:00:00 GMT 15-17th November 2024, Dubai, UAE Mohammed bin Rashid Library organized the Conference “Our Libraries: Past, Present, Future” in Dubai MediaINFO Digital Library was invited to… https://www.mediainfo.com/news/mediainfo-at-daaw-2024/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/mediainfo-at-daaw-2024/ Wed, 30 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMT 29-30th October 2024, Abu Dhabi, UAE The National Library and Archives organized the Digital Archiving in the Arab World Conference (DAAW|2024) in Abu Dhabi MediaINFO Digital… https://www.mediainfo.com/news/faster-re-indexing-and-indexing-that-looks-after-itself/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/faster-re-indexing-and-indexing-that-looks-after-itself/ Tue, 08 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMT A search re-index no longer re-analyses text and images that have not changed, and unchanged curated metadata is carried over with them — so a broad re-index costs re-indexing rather than re-analysis. The similarity indexing behind More like this now tops itself up on its own. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/publishing-outward-harvesting-and-structured-data/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/publishing-outward-harvesting-and-structured-data/ Tue, 18 Jun 2024 00:00:00 GMT The catalogue is exposed to aggregation networks over the sector's harvesting standard, in Dublin Core and the Europeana Data Model, with sets built from your own browse facets and the same mappings feeding structured data on public pages. Nothing is exposed until an administrator chooses it. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/mediainfo-at-sla-agc-2024/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/mediainfo-at-sla-agc-2024/ Sun, 10 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT 05th – 07th March, Doha, Qatar MediaINFO Digital Library took part at the SLA-AGC 27th Annual Conference & Exhibition 2024 at Mondrian Doha Hotel, Qatar.

This ambitious project introduced challenges of OCR-ing and indexing… https://www.mediainfo.com/news/a-deep-zoom-viewer-for-every-kind-of-material/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/a-deep-zoom-viewer-for-every-kind-of-material/ Tue, 27 Feb 2024 00:00:00 GMT Pages, photographs, video, audio, documents and 3D objects open on one surface. Deep zoom is served from the original, with no derivatives cut ahead of time, and two objects can be compared side by side with their panes panning and zooming together. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/dates-in-two-calendars/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/dates-in-two-calendars/ Tue, 14 Nov 2023 00:00:00 GMT Dates can be entered, stored, displayed, searched and filtered in both Hijri and Gregorian — with calendar-aware timeline facets, Arabic-Indic and Persian numerals, and a calendar each user chooses for themselves. https://www.mediainfo.com/news/meet-us-in-dubai-at-gitex-expo-16-20-october-2023/ https://www.mediainfo.com/news/meet-us-in-dubai-at-gitex-expo-16-20-october-2023/ Sat, 21 Oct 2023 00:00:00 GMT 16-20th October 2023, Dubai, UAE MediaINFO Digital Library presented latest technological advances at Gitex Technology Week 2023 between 16-20 October.
