Made some updates to https://github.com/ninarao/webvtt_metadata:

- Can now embed #FADGI #metadata in #WebVTT files using a csv, header data from an associated parent file, and/or an optional default metadata set
- Local usage elements can be added to the csv as needed
- Can create/update FADGI header for WebVTT files that have been human-reviewed

Feedback welcome! I've tested for various scenarios but there are many nested conditionals so I may have missed something.

Realized that in my current workflow, every field in the #FADGI WebVTT #metadata except two can be auto-generated or hard-coded, so I made a script that runs #Whisper, generates FADGI metadata and optionally pulls the last two fields from a csv, and adds it to the output. It's written for use at my institution but could be easily adapted:

(I also learned that Whisper via Python uses greedy search by default instead of beam, so I adjusted that too.)

New blog post about #FADGI update to Significant Properties for Digital Video! New in 2024 incl mapping of the significant properties to use cases at three federal agencies to better demonstrate how this data is used in current workflows. Other continuing features include providing plain language definitions for key criteria as well as typical values/examples of how the data is presented to help practitioners identify the values in reports and systems. https://blogs.loc.gov/thesignal/2024/11/fadgi-resource-digital-video/

New blog post on The Signal: FADGI Report on Software Accessibility for Open-Source Digital Preservation Applications (https://blogs.loc.gov/thesignal/2024/01/fadgi-report-software-accessibility-for-open-source-applications/).

It's been lovely to partner with #AVP on this project and the generous developers for #embARC and #BWFMetaEdit who are updating the applications to make them more accessible to everyone, promoting a more equitable and diverse field. #FADGI #digipres
