Description
Today, audiovisual archives and libraries have become very popularespecially in the field of collecting, preserving and transmittingcultural heritage. However, the data from these archives orlibraries - videos, images, sound tracks, etc. -constitute as such only potential cognitive resources for a givenpublic (or "target community"). They have to undergomore or less significant qualitative transformations in order tobecome user- or community-relevant intellectual goods.
These qualitative transformations are performed through a series ofconcrete operations such as: audiovisual text segmentation, contentdescription and indexing, pragmatic profiling, translation, etc.These and other operations constitute what we call the semioticturn in dealing with digital (audiovisual) texts, corpora of textsor even entire (audiovisual) archives and libraries. Theydemonstrate practically and theoretically the well-known"from data to meta-data" or "from (simple)information to (relevant) knowledge" problem - aproblem that obviously directly influences the effective use, thesocial impact and relevancy and therefore also the future ofdigital knowledge archives.
It constitutes, indeed, the heart of a diversity of importantR&D programs and projects all over the world.
