Analysiscorpus
1) The analysis corpus brings together all the audiovisual data that the analyst
has selected for analysis, i.e. a set of activities aimed at explicitizing the potential
value*
of the corpus (or a given part of the corpus) for a given audience. This work
constitutes one of the main stages of the
working process*
in the context of the
ARAprogram*
and is carried out using the
ASWDescriptionWorkshop*
.
2) The analysis corpus may be made up of data taken from different sources:
i) data from a single
field corpus*
(most commonplace) or from a number of field
corpora (created by the same person/team or by different actors); ii) data from one or
more (physically)
processed corpora*
; iii) data from other sources (i.e. other
audiovisual collections*, etc.
); iv)
audiovisual documents*
forming part of one or
more already-
published corpora*
(on a site such as that of the ARA) and which
will be subject to new analyses, re-descriptions, re-interpretations, etc.
3) The analysis corpus, which forms the input of the
analysis*
stage of the
working process of audiovisual production-publishing, must be functionally
distinguished from the
analyzed corpus,
which results from an analysis
(description, indexation, etc.).
4) It is also helpful to distinguish the analysis corpus from the
processing
corpus*
, i.e. the corpus of audiovisual data chosen to be subjected to
technical
or
authorial changes to the “appearance” and the linearity of an audiovisual database.
Analyzedcorpus
1) All the audiovisual data analyzed (described, indexed, commented upon,
translated/adapted, etc.) documenting one or more
fields*
(an event, a display, a
piece of heritage, etc.).
2) The analyzed corpus results from the analysis of audiovisual data, which is
one of the main phases of the
working process*
in the context of the
ARA
program*
and is carried out using the
ASWDescriptionWorkshop*
.
Fieldcorpus
1) All the data collected or produced from a
field*
dedicated to gathering
information to document a scientific or cultural manifestation or “field” research
per
se
(e.g. an archeological excavation, a sociological survey, an anthology of oral
expressions as part of an ethno-literary research project, etc.).
2) In the context of the ARA program, the collection of the audiovisual data and
the constitution of a field corpus are governed by a set of principles which are
