Program
1) The ARA Program is a R&D project of
ESCoM*
, which was set up in 2001
as part of a French R&D project on semantic indexation of audiovisual resources.
2) The ARA program is dedicated to digital audiovisual libraries and their uses
especially in research and (formal or informal) educational contexts as well as the
promotion of scientific and cultural heritage.
3) The ARA program in particular develops resources and tools necessary for the
processing (description, indexation, etc.) and online publication of audiovisual
corpora.
4) Very detailed documentation on the ARA Program may be consulted online
on the ARA website: http://www.archivesaudiovisualles.fr/FR/about4.asp.
ArkWorkProgram
1) Abbreviation for the “Arkeonauts' Workshop”.
2) The ArkWork Program constitutes one of the
experimental workshops*
of
the
ASW-HSS project*
dedicated to the constitution of an audiovisual corpus
documenting research on archeology, the implementation of a
metalanguage of
description*
for this domain of knowledge, the analysis of the corpus using the
ASW Studio*
and the publication of the analyzed corpus - also using the
ASWStudio*
- in the form of a Web portal offering many forms of access to the
corpus in question: access by
topics of knowledge*
, access by
thesaurus*
, access
by
collectionsoffilmicdocuments*
, etc.
3) A particularly important point which was addressed in the context of the
ArkWork program is experimentation with new logics of diffusion and promotion of
cultural and scientific heritage via social networks and Web 2.
4) The ArkWork program is evolving through a series of concrete achievements:
a Web portal comprising the ArkWork video-library composed of a corpus of
around 135 hours of audiovisual texts on archeology; experimental video channels
on YouTube, DailyMotion and Vimeo; Twitter and Facebook networks;
“aggregations of contents via applications such as Scoop.it, Pearltrees or Netvibes;
etc.
5) The URL of the ArkWork website is: http://semiolive.ext.msh-paris.fr/ada/.
