1. Spoken Web 2.0 Conceptualisation et prototype d’un site de recherche d’archive audionumérique en littératureAnnie Murray Jared Wiercinski 6 mai 2011
3. Le Problème. Une Solution? Le Problème: Comme outil de recherche, les fichiers audio représentent un défi On ne peut pas chercher dans un fichier audio comme dans un fichier texte Les archives audio sur le web sont relativement nouvelles et sous-développées Une Solution? Créer des archives qui possèdent de meilleures fonctionnalités de recherche. Utiliser le PoetrySeries comme modèle
4. Les buts du projet Analyse documentaire et enquête sur les projets similaires Développement d’un prototype d’interface

AMBetween 1965 and 1972 members of the Sir George Williams University (SGWU) English Department hosted a series of poetry readings, conceived as an ongoing encounter between local (Montreal) poets and the avant-garde poetics of some of the most important writers from the United States and the rest of Canada. Allen GinbergGary SynderGeorge BoweringMargaret AtwoodRobert CreeleyJoel Oppenheimer2007, The Concordia University Archives (CUA) received a grant that allowed all 65 reels of tape in this collection to be digitized and converted into WAV format. This conversion took place over a three-year period. This catalogue consists of time-stamped records of the audio content by poem title, time-stamped transcriptions of all extra-poetic speech, a preliminary index to the audio content, and contextual information relevant to particular readings and the series as a whole. “Poetry series” 1965-1972 (SGWU)58 poets from across North America (Black Mountain, Beat, TISH)Reel-to-reel machines (80 hours) 2007 Concordia Archives converts to WAV format (3-year process)Text-based catalogue2011 files uploaded to SoundCloud and then integrated into our WordPress site
JWExtant online spoken word archives have limited options for content navigation and scholarly interactivity. Most consist of digital walls of links to streaming audio files with very little in the way of contextualizing content, or tools for audio clustering, searching, speed control, transcription and note-taking, and without the possibility of saving or exporting one’s research interactions. Digital spoken word archives have remained largely one-dimensional in their research-related capabilities.Show an example? UBU Web?Do Google searchThen AskJeevesThen go to Sound->Steve McAffreyBad: no information about playback (length, position, waveform display, etc.)minimal contextual informationno search option on each page (search option on main page doesn’t work very well)no transcriptssite navigation in general (no tabs, one personGood:Some biographical infoDelicious integration (note taking; notes can be exported)Related resourcesLinks to other audio archives
AMWhat are ideal features of a digital spoken word archive? Used our expertise and experience with a variety of databases and websites to suggest and describe features in the application that might be helpful to scholars:Usability Integration of Aural and Textual Content Web-Based Manipulation of Audio Playback Discovery: Browsing and Searching Interactivity: Personal and Social Compatability and Portability Replicability – share prototype with other institutionsThese are some of the features that we suggested. The ones that are chosen for the template will depend on feedback on which ones are useful from literary scholars.Main project objectives:ongoing environmental scan/lit review The development of a prototype interface that will integrate a wide range of research-oriented navigation and manipulation capabilities into a single web-based DSWA
