not only of data derived from different field corpora (fields created as part of the
ARA Program)

but also possesses its own dynamic of enrichment or updating.
5) The stage of publication/diffusion of the data in turn relies on a corpus of data
- the
publication corpus*
- which is not necessarily coextensive with the field
corpus or the analysis corpus. For instance, in the process of publishing a research
seminar or interview, filmed and analyzed, the four functionally distinct corpora -
the field corpus, the processing corpus, the analysis corpus and finally the
publication corpus - may become similar, or even (partially) overlap. However, they
remain functionally distinct, obey their own motives and objectives, evolve and are
managed according to criteria specific to the requirements of the activities for which
they are the main body of work. Thus, the publication corpus may be made up of,
simultaneously, data from one or several analyzed corpora, of previously-published
data, of data collected but not necessarily analyzed, etc. The essential criterion for
evaluating the quality of a publication corpus is its capacity to satisfy an
intention of
publication
(see [NAN 05]) and, more particularly, formal rules governing a given
genre of publication [DEP 11b]. Let us stress here, that a publication corpus may be
made up of
already published
data.

Here, we touch on the problem which,
nowadays, has become a widely debated problem in documentary
repurposing

, the
published on this portal is made up of data from a whole variety of fields. In addition, these
fields were partly created within the ARA program (and in accordance with the procedures
defining the preparation and realization of a field as part of that program) but partly outside it
as well - by individual actors (researchers, documentary-makers, etc.) or collectives (research
institutions, etc.). This example is a good illustration of the lack of functional dependence
between the
fieldcorpus*
and the
analysiscorpus*
.

6 Also as part of the ARA Program and thanks to various R&D projects both French and
European (particularly the French project SAPHIR, financed by the Agence Nationale de la
Recherche, and the European project LOGOS, financed as part of the 6
th
Framework Program
- FP6), we were able to develop and test
models for republication
of research interviews
which were initially published on the ARA site in the form of an interactive videobook. Thus,
for instance, an interview with the ethno-musicologist Sabine Trebinjac, conducted by Aygun
Eyyubova for the ARA in June 2007 at the FMSH in Paris, was re-published (following the
appropriate adaptations and enrichments) in the form of
bilingual folders
(French/English;
French/Chinese; French/Turkish, etc.), a Masters-level
pedagogical folder
, a
themed folder
dedicated to Uyghur music or even, along with other publications, in the form of a
videolexicon
dedicated to world music (see
http://www.archivesaudiovisuelles.fr/1051/introduction.asp).

DES 11b; DES 11c] on her site on the ArkWork portal dedicated to the distribution of an
audiovisual body of heritage in archaeology (http://semiolive.ext.msh-paris.fr/ada/). Jirasri
Deslis demonstrates, in an exemplary manner, how to make use of new social media and the
Web 2 for better diffusion of scientific knowledge, and how to contribute to a better scientific
