Technical Workshop: “Three-day lecture and workshop on data management and archive”

Linguistic data obtained through fieldwork (audio, movie) are not available for use by the community and other researchers unless they are deposited in language archives with properly specified annotations and metadata. In this program, we learned the correct way to collect data in the field and manage it for depositing into a language archive.

• fieldwork for long term archiving, building archivable data from the moment of capture
  (recordings, transcripts, interlinear gloss, corpus construction)
• file naming and metadata management
• creating a linguistic archive, an outline of how PARADISEC (the Pacific And Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures) began and how it works now
• regular expressions for text conversion and for complex searches of corpora
