SilverchairContent Management and Web
Video Beside the Article, Under the Same Entitlements
No Silverchair-specific module exists, and none is needed. The connection is the embed code, the JavaScript widget and the REST API, all of which ship. What does not exist is ingestion from Silverchair: pulling its content into the library is a connector, and the built ones are SharePoint, OneDrive, Kaltura, Azure Blob, AWS S3 and Teams. Silverchair is the platform behind many scholarly publishers, serving journals, books and society content. Its defining constraint is entitlement: who may read what depends on subscriptions, society membership and institutional access, and video published alongside an article has to obey the same rules or it becomes the way around them.
What you can do together
- Publish supplementary video, method demonstrations or recorded lectures beside the article rather than as an external link.
- Keep the media out of the publishing platform while it renders inside it.
- Have the publisher's own entitlement logic request a content address, so access follows the subscription.
- Restrict rendering to named domains with signed URLs that expire, which stops casual sharing.
How it connects
Video would be referenced from the scholarly content and rendered by the JavaScript widget where that reference appears, with the media never copied into Silverchair. Embedding is restricted to the domains you name and content URLs are signed and expire, so an address cannot simply be passed to someone outside the entitlement.
Entitlement is where the engagement does its work, and it should be the first conversation rather than the last. Silverchair holds the subscription and access logic, and the platform has its own access model, so a decision is needed about which system decides whether this viewer may watch this video. Signed expiring URLs and domain restriction stop casual sharing, but they are not an entitlement check, and treating them as one is the mistake to avoid. The REST API is the path for the publisher's own logic to ask for a content address once it has decided the reader is entitled.
Silverchair stays the publishing platform. Articles, issues, entitlements and the reader experience are unchanged, and the video reference is one more element in the content.

A scenario
- ScopingThe engagement would decide which system makes the entitlement decision, and how the REST API is called once it is made.
- SetupA template element renders the widget from a reference on the article, with the society's domains approved.
- A subscriberSilverchair confirms entitlement, requests a content address, and the demonstration plays inside the article.
- A non-subscriberNo address is issued, so the article renders without the player rather than showing a broken element.
- A shared linkThe signed address has expired, so it does not become a way past the subscription.
What stays where
Silverchair remains the publishing platform
Articles, issues, entitlements and the reader experience stay there.
Entitlement is decided by one system, chosen in the engagement
Signed URLs and domain restriction limit sharing; they are not an entitlement check.
The media stays in the library
Files, access rules and retention live there, and the article renders a view rather than a copy.
Processing runs where you deploy the platform
Readers reach the player over the network, so a published site needs a deployment reachable publicly.
