User actions in a Mediateca

Thinking in Mediateca as the whole of multimedia files the user has, I tried to classify all the actions that the user may want to do with his/her files. Here you have my sorting, done in two different ways.

Sorted by the element pipe

  • Incoming elements
    • Creating a brand new one
    • Digitalizing some input
    • Downloading from internet
    • Provided by a hotplugged portable device: [ handling hotplugged devices - project Utopia ]
      • CD?
      • MP3 player
      • Videocamera
      • Photocamera
  • Manipulating elements
    • Viewing, listening or both
    • Navigating over all of them
    • Searching for any element (conventional search or Storage-like search)
    • Organizing your mediateca (mainly editing metainformation: tags and RDF info)
    • Transforming and editing
