In-Depth Information
The geographic and temporal data collected by the analyst or generated
automatically by the ASW system
1
(see [GUE 11] for further information) are used,
amongst other things, to facilitate access to an archive's filmic collection
via
interactive geographical maps and timelines. Thus, for instance, a good part of the
audiovisual collection belonging to the archives developed as part of the ASW-HSS
project is accessible through Google Maps and timelines
2
(see Figure 14.3, which
shows access to the audiovisual collection of the
ArkWork
archives through Google
Maps - available only in French).

Theprocedureofanalyzingthemultimodalexpression

As Figure 14.4 shows, the taxonomic domain initiated by the conceptual term
[Procedure of structural analysis of the textual object] can again be broken down -
in addition to the set of analytical procedures devoted to the content of an
audiovisual text - into two other sets of analytical activities. The first of these is
represented by the conceptual term [Procedure of analyzing the multimodal
expression of the textual object]; the second by the conceptual term [Procedure of
analysis of the textual support].
The set of activities represented by the root conceptual term [Procedure of
analyzing the multimodal expression of the textual object] serves for analyzing the
visual and/or audiovisual language. For instance, one might analyze the visual (or
acoustic) framing of a thematized object, the visual field and what is on or off
camera, the visual (and acoustic) shots, etc.
1 This is done by an application invisible to the analyst that harvests data from Wikipedia -
particularly the geographical coordinates needed to generate a location for entire videos
and/or selected passages within a video on Google Maps.
