dear juanjo, i basically do agree, but for the sake of better consistency i do suggest to keep the two ges fi-inmedia and Compressed Domain Video Analysis together. in fact the fi-inmedia was born and agreed at the level of the fi-ppp ab to extend and complement with what already specified and provided by the Compressed Domain Video Analysis ge. keeping them separate, i mean in two different wps, migth generate inconsistencies and/or overlaps. so either both in the data chapter or both in the new wp. the argument of size of a wp you put forward is a bit articial in the sense that if we believe a new chapter needs to be in the overall fi-ware architecture than the size per se does not matter at all while keeping things together in an almost unconsistent way foir sure migth generate incomprehensions as well as communication and exploiation issues. so my proposal is to very much welcome the new wp, but also to keep together the content geis well defined in the data chapter. ciao, stefano 2013/5/22 Juanjo Hierro <jhierro at tid.es> > [image: Boxbe] <https://www.boxbe.com/overview> You chose to allow > Juanjo Hierro (jhierro at tid.es) even though this message failed > authentication > Click to disallow<https://www.boxbe.com/anno?tc_serial=14203782183&tc_rand=626565837&utm_source=stf&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ANNO_AFA&utm_content=001&action=authfail&set=false&token=fzXrcpOSZSOrHfg%2BJ61dJiO1JK68IJ67ZeaYqquKqzqh%2FpqJrRz1OFCX8Lr9IAPJ&key=HkTaXJwIXdM3sz9w8Mp13UuThA%2FfgYp5%2B3SbtdkwY4U%3D> > > Hi all, > > As you perfectly know, a number of new partners will join the FI-WARE > consortium as a result of the 2nd Open Call. > > I have given a careful thought to the way these new beneficiaries of the > 2nd Open Call could be integrated in FI-WARE.
