Jane Goodall's Gombe Chimpanzee Project

Jane Goodall's Gombe
chimpanzee project has been
continuing in Gombe National
Park, Tanzania since 1960.

Research Materials
 600 hours of chimpanzee
video recorded at Gombe
since 1993.

Thousands of 35mm still
chimpanzee photographs.
 Annotation information (metadata) about
visual materials.

Problem Statement
Given:


Video, photographs recorded at Gombe about
chimpanzees.
Metadata of video and photographs.
Objective:


Digitize visual materials and create a database using
metadata to index and access to these materials.
Make a demo of digital library which is accessible by
the researchers and public through the web.

Digital Library

An organized collection of knowledge, stored in
digital/electronic format, and accessible to users
via digital/electronic interface technologies.


In our case, digitized chimpanzee video and
photographs will be accessible to users through
the web.

Future Work





Complete system implementation (digital library).
Use content-based image retrieval techniques to
get information which is not documented in the
metadata of visual materials.
Map chimp behavior ontology to the other animal
behavior ontologies (i.e., Cornell animal behavior
ontology).
