Ask HN: File Management Software for PhD
I also have several thousand recordings of lectures & interviews.
I am searching for a software which would allow me to upload all of these, cross-match them, tag them, add metadata, and be able to search and organize them by date, location, audience, or topic.
Ideally, this software would enable the creation of composite objects made up of multiple recordings, documents, tags, and metadata. For example, a composite object could be a lecture a person gave in Argentina last May and it would include:
- A recording from the speaker's iPhone - A recording from the sound system where the Spanish translation is more clear - A recording of a French translation made recently - A pdf document of the speaker's notes - A pdf document of someone's transcription in English - A pdf document of a machine-generated transcription in Spanish - A brief summary - Tags such as: Big Data, Twitter, MongoDB - Metadata such as: - Delivered: May 15, 2022 - Event: DataCrunch Conference - Audience: University Students
An added bonus would be the ability to have user accounts with different access permissions to view, download, and edit these listings.
Does such a software exist? I've been searching and searching and haven't found one. I used to write software, so worst case I could maybe make it myself.
