Developing a Multimedia tool for increased
international science Collaboration

n 1998, the International Space Station brought together scientists from 16 countries to
solve crucial problems in various areas of science. Many of the project’s scientists did not
Ispeak the same language, which created a collaborative hurdle.
Under a CRDF Global grant, Russian scientists with experience in the design and construction
of nuclear weapons are working with U.S. Company Arkmedia to create a SNAPSE TM
multimedia software toolset that will provide a multi-lingual collaborative environment. This
technology will not only facilitate motion picture, still photo and audio usage, but will also
support education, sharing of cultural resources, media object licensing, media management,
communication and entertainment.
