The interface is a single webpage containing the media player, the timeline with layers and the note box for writing, editing and exporting xml annotations. Users can add, share and synchronize cues & markers, hyperlinks and questions by simply creating a tab on a timeline layer. Every tab & annotation is attached to a certain moment, scene or sequence which can then be specified, shared and archived with tags (free, controlled, thesaurus). Every tab can be exported as a flash file and the layers containing these tabs can be hidden or shared among individuals or user groups. CueMark is available as a ‘proof of concept’ in the website i-theatre.net specially created for Theatre Studies at the University of Amsterdam.
