In-Depth Information
Resource(audiovisual-)
1) A term denoting any audiovisual text which holds a cognitive and practical
value*
for a given audience. An example of such a
value*
would be to satisfy one's
curiosity or need for information.
Resources(metalinguistic)
1) A term denoting any element belonging to the ASW
metalanguage*
and
which helps the knowledge engineer in implementing a
domain ontology*
, i.e.
models of description*
which are appropriate to a
domain of
knowledge/expertise*
.

Schema(conceptual-)ofdefinition
1) The schema of definition is a
micro-configuration
of
conceptual terms*
(composed of at least one conceptual term) which, along with other conceptual
schemas, constitutes a
sequence*
of a model of description. The conceptual schema
enables us to create
relations*
(besides the purely taxonomical relations) between
two or more
conceptual terms*
. It forms part of the ASW metalanguage of
description.
2) The
ASW metalinguistic resources of description*
notably comprise three
complementary types of conceptual schemas: a) the category of schemas which
define the
objects of analysis*
belonging to the
universe of discourse*
of an
archive; b) the category of schemas which define the procedures (
free*
,
controlled*
, mixed, standard or simplified, etc.) of description of an analytical
object or
topic*
, its contextualization, discourse production, audiovisual expression,
etc.; c) the category of schemas which fix the referential value of a
conceptual
term*
in advance (for instance, if the referential domain of knowledge is limited to
Medieval French literature, the conceptual term [PERIOD] is fixed by the
expression <Medieval>, which is then interpreted as appropriate numerical values to
represent the chronological boundaries of that era).
Schemaofindexing
1) The schema of indexing specifies what the analyst must do when choosing a
particular activity which is part of a
procedure of analysis*
. An activity and,
afortiori
, a procedure of analysis may be made up of several schemas of indexing. It
