Figure 11.7 shows a library of generic schemas of definition which we use to
process audiovisual corpora belonging to the audiovisual archives of the FMSH in
Paris.

As we can see, in keeping with our theoretical approach, we distinguish
between the class of schemas defining the objects of analysis and the class of
schemas defining the procedures of description used to describe a particular object.
As we have already said, the generic schemas of definition form
mini-structures
,
local structures
which make up the
thematic configurations*
(topical, about
discourse production, etc.) defining the models of description accessible through the
ASW Studio's working interface (section 11.2). Figures 11.8 and 11.9 show what
these mini-structures or local structures look like.
Figure 11.8 focuses on the generic schema of the analytical object
Description of
a train of thought, a theory…
This generic schema belongs to a family of schemas
used to define subjects relative to the domain of scientific culture (
lato sensu
). It is
only at the level of the library of sequences that the decision is made as to which
schemas from this family are truly relevant to be selected in a particular sequence,
specialized in analyzing a subject from scientific culture. In the simplest cases,
only
oneschema
is selected; in more complex cases,
several
schemas are selected.
