etc.), and online publication of audiovisual corpora as well as the management
(definition, adaptation, etc.) of the
ASWmetalinguisticresources*
.
2) The ASW studio comprises
four
main parts called “
Workshops
”: i) the
segmentation workshop*
for audiovisual texts (videos, for now); ii) the
description workshop*
for an audiovisual text and/or some parts (segments) of it;
iii) the
publishing workshop*
for an audiovisual text or corpus of audiovisual texts;
iv) the
modeling workshop*
for metalinguistic resources (concepts, configurations
of concepts, thesauruses, etc.).
3) Each workshop takes the form of i) a
specialized
working environment*
and
ii) one of
technical documentation
,
help files, concrete examples
, etc. Hence, the
ASW Studio comprises a working environment for the segmentation of a video, a
working environment for the description/analysis
per se
of a video, a working
environment for the publication of a video or corpus of videos and, finally, a
working environment for scenario specification i.e. definition and development of
the metalanguage that is needed to analyze and publish audiovisual corpora.
4) The existing working environments are not equally developed: the most
elaborate environment is the one for analyzing audiovisual corpora. However, all the
environments are operational. Similarly, the technical documentation which has to
accompany each environment is often written in a rudimentary fashion.
5) In turn, each working environment possesses one or more software suites,
computer applications etc.

SegmentationWorkshop*
;
Semiosphere*
is a set of applications developed by
ESCoM and which serves as a “technological building block” for the
Publishing
Workshop*
; the working environment of the
Description Workshop*
is composed
of a set of applications for managing libraries of information input forms (“models”)
and the data generated by the analyst; finally, the
Modeling Workshop*
currently
uses an xml editor called
OntoEditor*
(also developed by ESCoM) for defining
metalinguisticresources*
.
6) The ASW Studio was developed by ESCoM as part of the
ASW-HSS
project*
(2009-2011) funded by the ANR (Agence National de la Recherche) as
part of the “Programme Blanc 2008” (“2008 White Program”).

1) The ASW Segmentation Workshop is a specialized working environment for
cutting an audiovisual text into segments (“passages” or “sequences”) of interest to
the
analyst*
. It is part of the
