In-Depth Information
expounded in an online document entitled “Collection and preservation of
audiovisual data”. This document is available for consultation on the ARA website:

Processedcorpus
1) All the audiovisual data derived from the (technical or authorial) processing
stage of the
working process*
of audiovisual production-publishing - audiovisual
data documenting one or more
fields*
(an event, a display, a piece of heritage, etc.)
Processingcorpus
1) All the data which have been chosen to be processed by a technician or the
author.
Technical processing
encompasses the activities of “trimming”, physically
cleaning the files containing the data collected in the field corpus, improving the
visual or sound quality of the files, etc.
Authorial processing
is mainly concerned
with editing the audiovisual data (according to a montage scenario), creating
transitions and special effects, post-synchronizing the sound and image tracks,
adding voiceover comments, and so on.
2) The data forming part of a processing corpus may belong to one or (or more,
this is the most commonly recurring case)
field corpora*
but they may also come
from other
audiovisual collections*
, or even already processed and/or published
data.
3) The processing corpus constitutes one of the two main inputs of the
processing/analysis stage of the
working process*
of audiovisual production-
publishing (the other input is formed by the
analysiscorpus*
).
Publicationcorpus
1) All the audiovisual data making up the input of the actual publishing phase
(one of the main phases of the
working process*
in the ARA program) and carried
out using the
ASWDescriptionWorkshop*
.
2) The relevance of the publication corpus must be evaluated in relation to the
objectives of a given publication. In any case, it may be made up of data of a
different nature and taken from different sources: i) from only one
analyzed
corpus*
(this is the most common situation in the context of the “normal” activities
of the ARA program*); ii) from several analyzed corpora*; iii) from one or more
corpora
of
processed*
(but not necessarily analyzed) data; iv) from one or more
