iii) the schema of indexation
Collection of relevant information on Wikipedia
,
which enables the analyst, if he so desires, to indicate the URL of a Wikipedia
article where the ASW system can glean further information about the object in
question; as previously explained, this service - which is currently only available in
English - is particularly useful for harvesting geographical and/or temporal data
which can be used to access an audiovisual collection by way of a geographical map
and/or timeline).
Figure 14.12 shows the aspect of the activity [Minimal designation of the

a concrete description.

Let us stress, therefore, that the
results
of a specific analytical operation are
defined by so-called
schemas of indexing
. As laid out in Chapter 1 (section 1.4), the
term “indexation” must be understood here in a very broad sense, i.e. in terms of
any
concrete result
, of the
physicaloutput from an analysis
in the form, for example, of
keywords, paragraphs of text, visual icons, acoustic jingles, digital data, geo-
location data, terms belonging to a terminology or a thesaurus, etc.
