\section{Introduction}\r
\r
In social sciences like anthropology or linguistic, researchers have to work on multiple type of multimedia documents like photos, videos, sound recordings or databases. The need to easily access, visualize and annotate such materials can be problematic given their diverse formats, sources and given their chronological nature.\r
+This particular concern gets together some laboratories\footnote{the Research Center on Ethnomusicology (CREM), the Musical Acoustics Laboratory (LAM, UMR 7190) and the sound archives of the Mediterranean House of Human Sciences (MMHS)} involved in research on Ethnomusicoly from the french National Center on Scientific Research (CNRS).\r
+\r
+Given those considerations, since 2007, the CREM laboratory and Parisson, a company specialized in the management of audio database, have been developing \emph{Telemeta}, a innovative, collaborative and interdisciplinary web-based multimedia platform that fits the professional requirements from both sound archivists and researchers in ethnomusicology. Since 2008, a first prototype of this platform has been online\footnote{Archives sonores du CNRS, Musée de l'Homme, \url{http://archives.crem-cnrs.fr}}.\r
+\r
+%With the help and expertise of Parisson, a company specialized in the management of audio database, a first prototype of this web-based multimedia platform, named \emph{Telemeta} has been online since 2008 and enable to access sound archives of the CREM laboratory and their associated documentations \cite{telemetaCREM}.%\footnote{Archives sonores du CNRS, Musée de l'Homme, \url{http://archives.crem-cnrs.fr}}\r
\r
-Accessing audio archives materials with numerous collection of items of arbitrary duration ranging from a minute to several hours was a common issue shared by some laboratories from the french National Center on Scientific Research (CNRS) and involved in research on Ethnomusicoly. Those laboratories, the Research Center on Ethnomusicology (CREM),the Musical Acoustics Laboratory (LAM, UMR 7190) and the sound archives of the Mediterranean House of Human Sciences (MMHS) have decided to join together to develop a solution for managing, preserving, accessing and broadcasting their sound archives.\r
\r
-Beside the audio data, an efficient and dynamic management of the associated metadata is also required. Consulting metadata provide both an exhaustive access to valuable information about the source of the data and to the related work of peer researchers. Dynamically handling metadata enable to further and continuously improve the materials or to add new information in a collaborative manner. \r

\r
-In light of those considerations, as no existing \emph{open-source} application was available, the need to specify and develop one has emerged.

-\section{Telemeta architecture}\r
+\subsection*{Purpose of the demonstration}\r
+The demonstration aims at presenting the features offered by \emph{Telemeta} as detailed in Section~\ref{sec:Telemeta} in the context of ethnomusiclogical sound archives \cite{telemetaCREM}. It focuses on the enhance and collaborative user-experience for accessing the audio items and associated metadata and on the possibility for the expert user to further enrich those metadata.\r
+Another goal of this demonstration is to present the integrated audio analysis tools described in Section~\ref{sec:Timeside}\r
\r
- \r
-The main goal of \emph{Telemeta} is to facilitate the work of both researchers and archivists and to provide a convenient way to broadcast or distribute the digital audio collections.\r
+\r
+\section{Telemeta}\label{sec:Telemeta}\r
+\r
+Telemeta is a free and open source web audio content management system which introduces useful and secure methods to backup, index, transcode, analyse and publish any digitalized audio file with its metadata. \r
+An overview of the Telemeta's web interface is illustrated in Figure~\ref{fig:Telemeta}\r

+\end{figure}\r
+\r
+Telemeta is dedicated to professionals who wants to easily organize, backup, archive and publish documented sound collections of audio files, CDs, digitalized vinyls and magnetic tapes over a strong database, in accordance with open web standards. \r
+\r
+\subsection{Features and Architecture}\r
\r
\emph{Telemeta} architecture is flexible and can easily be adapted to particular database organization of a given sound archives. The compatibility with other systems is facilitated by the integration of the metadata standards protocols \emph{Dublin Core} and \emph{OAI-PMH} \cite{DublinCore,OAI-PMH}.\r
\r
-\emph{Telemeta} features multi-criteria text-based search engine and functions to easily navigate inside an audio item.\r
-+ audio analysis (via TimeSide)\r
-+ time markers for annotation and segmentation of instant or temporal region of the audio data.\r

\subsection{Metadata}\label{sec:metadata}\r
+Beside the audio data, an efficient and dynamic management of the associated metadata is also required. Consulting metadata provide both an exhaustive access to valuable information about the source of the data and to the related work of peer researchers. \r
+Dynamically handling metadata in a collaborative manner enable to optimize the continuous process of knowledge gathering and enrichment of the materials in the database. \r

-One of the major challenge is the standardization of audio and metadata formats with the aim of long-term preservation and usage of the different materials. \r
+One of the major challenge is thus the standardization of audio and metadata formats with the aim of long-term preservation and usage of the different materials. \r
\r
+Metadata provide two different kinds of information about the audio item : contextual information and annotations.\r
+Contextual information consists in :\r
\begin{itemize}\r
-\item Geographic and cultural informations (Location details, population/social group, ethnographic context)\r
+\item Geographic and cultural information (Location details, population/social group, ethnographic context)\r
\item Musical informations (style, composition, interprets, ...)\r
\item Archiving data (code and reference to the item)\r
\item Technical data (media type and duration)\r
\item Related media (any other material (images, video or text document associated with the audio item)\r
\end{itemize}\r
\r
+Annotation information provides additional comments or analysis done by some expert on the data. Annotations can consist in temporal information such as :\r
+\begin{itemize}\r
+\item segmentation in relevant class or label for ethnomusicological study (e.g. speech versus singing voice segment)\r
+\item time-coded makers for instantaneous comments \r
+\end{itemize}\r
+It should be notice that those annotations can be done either by an human expert or by some audio processing automatic analysis (see Section~\ref{sec:Timeside}).\r
