- \item Since June 2011, the Telemeta platform has been used by
- the \alert{Sound archives of the CNRS - Musée de
- l'Homme}\footnote{\url{http://archives.crem-cnrs.fr}} and
- managed by the CREM.
- \item These archives available for researchers,
- students and (when copyright allows) to a broader audience.
- \item It is one of the most important Sound archives librairy in Europe
- \item Through this platform, these archives can be shared,
- discussed and analyzed.

- \begin{itemize}
- \item The Sound archives of the \emph{CNRS - Musée de l'Homme}
- have been collected by researchers attached to numerous research
- institutions across the world. %, including prominent figures of
- %the field of ethnomusicology (among which Brailoiu, Lomax,
- %Shaeffner, Rouget and Elkin).
- \item Most of the recordings come from the fieldwork of
- researchers in \alert{all continents} during the last \alert{110 years}.
-
-
- \item Nearly \alert{3700 hours of record collections}
- e.g. more than 5000 discs, many of which are very
- rare)
- \item \alert{4000 hours of unpublished recordings}, from early
- research expeditions (e.g. Dakar-Djibouti (1932), Ogooué-Congo
- (1946)).
- \item \alert{47,200 items} containing more than
- \alert{26,000 sound files} (including 12,000 sounds on free
- access since May 2014).
-
-
- %\item Recently, the CREM has decided to give full access to the
- % records published by the CNRS-Musée de l’Homme (Chant du
- % Monde/Harmonia
- % Mundi)\footnote{\url{http://archives.crem-cnrs.fr/archives/fonds/CNRSMH_Editions/}},

-\begin{itemize}
- \item Three main activities: \alert{archiving,
- research and education}
- \item Three main disciplines: \alert{Ethnomusicology, Anthropology and Linguistic}
- \item Primary users of the platform are archivists, researchers, students
- and professors of these disciplines.
- \item Nonetheless, a qualitative survey showed that other
- disciplines (such as Art History) have used the platform.
- \item When used for education, the platform provides a wide array
- of teaching materials to illustrate the work of students as well
- as support teaching curricula.

-\begin{frame}{Uses and users of digital sound archives}
- \begin{block}{A collaborative experience}
- \begin{itemize}
- \item The sharing of data offer resources to researchers from all over the world and allows several people to \alert{collaborate on the enrichment of the database}.
- \item Researchers from different institutions can work together on
- specific audio materials and conduct individual research from
- both synchronic and diachronic perspectives on their own
- material, the material of others, or both.
- \item Users can submit their own archives to protect them.
-
- \item Furthermore, it facilitates the ethical task of \alert{returning
- the recorded music to the communities who produced it} and to get local populations involved in their own cultural heritage.

- to \alert{automatically index} or assist the indexation of the recording content from the audio signal.
- \item Ongoing work consists of implementing
- advanced \alert{classification, indexation, segmentation and similarity
- analysis} methods.
- \item \alert{Besides music analysis}, such automatic tools also deal with speech
- and other types of sounds present ethnomusiclogical recordings like \alert{speech, environmental noises and noises generated by the recording process}

-\begin{frame}{The method of a new interdisciplinary research}
- \begin{block}{}
- \begin{itemize}
- \item In this research program, groups from \alert{different backgrounds}
- are working together.
- \item The first challenge was to initiate a common interest and a
- \alert{mutual understanding}.
- \item In this process, DIADEMS gave us the opportunity to improve
- our understanding on the \alert{link between the semantics and
- acoustics of voice production} in order to be able to specify the classification and indexation tasks.
- \end{itemize}
-\end{block}
- % In preliminary work, we attempted to first define vocal
- % categories with a particular interest for liminal oral
- % productions. At the border between speech and song, utterances
- % such as psalmody or recitation are at the center of an old
- % debate in ethnomusicology\footnote{A colloquium on liminal
- % utterances between speech and song will be organized by the
- % International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM) in May 2015
- % and hosted by the Centre of research in Ethnomusicology
- % (CREM). A round table will be dedicated to the presentation of
- % the main results and findings of the ANR project
- % DIADEMS}. Gathering specialists from various fields, the DIADEMS
- % project goes well beyond the usual disciplinary boundaries. Our
- % aim, through the study of a large range of audio components
- % (pitch range, syllabic flow, metric, polyphonic and so on) is to
- % define and characterize the variability of vocal productions,
- % keeping in mind the semantic aspects. By doing so, we wish to
- % reduce the traditional gap in academic studies between sounds
- % and semantics and to develop combined analytical tools for the
- % study of vocal production\footnote{As an example, research will
- % be conducted on the recognition of "icons of crying" in lamented
- % utterances. As defined by Urban in \cite{Urban88}, "icons of
- % crying" include cry break, voice inhalation, creaky voice and
- % falsetto vowels.}.
-
- % One of the goals of the DIADEMS project is also to provide
- % useful tools for musical analysis such as the detection of
- % musical instrument families, analysis of musical content (tonal,
- % metric and rhythmic features), musical similarities and
- % structure (chorus localisation, musical pattern replication).
