We distinguish between two classes of resources external to the ASW system:
the class of resources constituted by the data produced by the analyst, and the class
of resources constituted by the diversity of already-existing metadata. These two
classes are controlled either by the ASW system (in the case of the data produced by
the analyst), or - as far as possible - placed in conjunction with the elements of the
ASW system in order to increase the expressive capacity of the ASW system itself,
and to contribute to the interoperability of the systems of description/indexation
used to generate metadata relating to a digital resource.
The standards, terminologies, ontologies, etc. are metalinguistic resources
external to the ASW system, but which we may have to make use of in that they
constitute the “languages” employed by various communities (institutions, etc.) to
process (describe and/or index) audiovisual digital corpora documenting domains of
knowledge similar to those we wish to investigate with the semiotic workshop of
audiovisual description.
There are many, very varied types of external resources. One thinks, of course,
of the monolingual or multilingual thesauruses and terminologies, of ontologies
