A particularly important factor here is the choice of the
domain of expertise
the
analyst is referring to in his work - his choice of metalinguistic resources, and more
particularly the
library* of models of description
of an audiovisual text or corpus
defining an archive's universe of discourse. The domains of expertise of different
archives may, however, overlap. Thus, even if each archive has “its own” library of
models of description, a model taken in isolation may appear - just as it is, or with a
few local adaptations - in different libraries of models of description.
Figure 2.3 shows the eight domains of expertise which are currently available for
the analyst to choose from - assuming he has the appropriate rights to do so:
−
ada
is the (French) abbreviation for the domain of expertise
Arkeonauts'
Workshop
devoted to research in archaeology (this is version 1.2 of the
metalinguistic resources devoted to the analysis of audiovisual corpora documenting
the ArkWork domain);
−
alia
is the acronym for the domain of expertise
Literature from Here and
Elsewhere
, dedicated to literary heritage;
−
arc
is the acronym for the domain of expertise
Culture Crossroads Archives
,
given over to cultural diversity and intercultural dialog;
−
aar
is the acronym for the domain of expertise covered by the audiovisual
collection of the video-library owned by the FMSH in Paris;
−
pca
is the acronym for the domain of expertise of the video-library
Azerbaijani
CulturalHeritage
;
−
pcia
is the acronym for the domain of expertise of the video-library
Andean
IntangibleCulturalHeritage
.
These different domains of expertise correspond to the
experimentation
workshops
of the ASW-HSS Project. This is a completely open-ended list - there is
nothing to stop new domains of expertise from being added, although the
appropriate metalinguistic resources and models of description must be defined and
conceived for these new additions. These resources and models are made up partly
of pre-existing resources and models (i.e. which are already defined and used in one
of the six experimentation workshops cited above) and partly of new resources and
models.
Figure 2.4 offers a view of the working interface of the second and third options
in the ASW Description Workshop. The second option is entitled
Video
. It invites
the analyst to describe the audiovisual text in its
entirety
- in contrast to the third
option, reserved for the analysis of one or more specific segments making up an
audiovisual text.
