The article entitled "YouTube Timed Metadata Enrichment Using a Collaborative Approach” proposes the use of a collaborative method for video annotation and presents a prototype that allows the provision of those metadata in content hosted within YouTube.

This way, it allows to increase the efficiency of access to content available in this platform by including descriptions associated to specific moments of the video, something that currently doesn’t exist.
