[eu-gene] R.O.M.

[Jim Andrews]

Hi Philippe,

That's interesting. Thanks.

Where does R.O.M draw its material from?

Is that material lexically queriable from a web interface? I mean if you
want some streaming video on "butterflies and walrus" for instance, will it
return some reference?

Google and some others are good at returning images that are related to some
lexical query. But I don't know of any similar services concerning video or
sound. Do you?
