20、2016(E)IntroductionThis document sets out to facilitate the interchange of transcriptions of spoken language between different computational tools and environments for creating, editing, publishing and exploiting such data. Transcription of spoken language in this context means an orthography-based

21、transcription of verbal activity as recorded in an audio or video recording of a natural interaction. The description of activity in other modalities (e.g. body language, gestures and facial expression) may be part of a spoken language transcription, but this document starts from the assumption that

22、 the verbal dimension is the primary focus of a spoken language transcription. Likewise, although this document may also be relevant for transcription based on phonetic alphabets like the IPA, the assumption for this document is that orthography-based transcription is the default case.This document

23、is developed in the context of the joint agreement between ISO and the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) consortium, and accordingly, its content is also distributed as part of the TEI guidelines.23This document takes into account data models and encoding practices supported by widely used transcriptio

24、n software. More specifically, it builds on several interoperability studies12,16,17,19involving the following tools: ANVIL10 CLAN11 ELAN22 EXMARaLDA20 FOLKER18 Transcriber1This document was developed to be compatible with the formats produced by these tools. The compatibility may extend to the form

25、ats of further labelling tools (e.g. Praat4or Wavesurfer, h t t p :/www.speech.kth.se/wavesurfer/index2.html), but possibly on a lower level and/or with a requirement to convert these formats to one of the above-mentioned before adding mandatory information (e.g. speaker assignment) using the respec

26、tive tools.This document also aims to be usable with widely used transcription systems (“conventions”). However, in a technical sense, compatibility is not easily definable in this area since, unlike the tool formats, most of these systems lack an explicit formalization. The following selection of t

27、ranscription systems was considered for this document: Codes for the Human Analysis of Transcripts (CHAT)11 Discourse Transcription (DT)7 Gesprchsanalytisches Transkriptionssystem (GAT)21 Halbinterpretative Arbeitstranskriptionen (HIAT)13Since TEI is the reference framework for this document and met

28、adata is not its main concern, no attempt is made here to address metadata compatibility issues beyond the TEI header. However, it should be noted that there are several TEI profiles for the CMDI framework which are related both to each other and to CMDI profiles of other metadata formats (e.g. IMDI

29、) via the ISOCAT registry (see also References 5, 6 and 9).This document aims to define both a target format for legacy data conversion and a format suitable for future data processing requirements. The pros and cons of these two demands were carefully weighed up before decisions were taken. At some

30、 points, certain techniques are therefore marked as preferred vi ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS ISO 24624:2016ISO 24624:2016(E)from a data processing point of view while an alternative technique is still allowed if the structure of legacy data makes its use unavoidable.With regard to the other stand

31、ards developed within ISO committee TC 37/SC 4, this document is intended to provide the primary layer on top of which further annotation layers may be implemented. In particular, the use of the element for tokenizing a transcription is conformable to the TEI-based representation of tokens ISO 24611

32、 (MAF).This document also aligns with the mechanism proposed in the TEI guidelines to embed stand-off annotations within a TEI document. In particular, this mechanism contains a generic element () that groups together annotations related to the same linguistic segment; this grouping meets the needs

33、of this document in the case of annotations of elements or its children.Finally, this document is complementary and does not overlap with the speech and multimodal interaction-related standards developed within the W3C. In particular, it does not deal with speech synthesis as is the case for SSML,24

34、nor does it deal with the representation of the semantic interpretation of multimodal utterances as does EMMA.25 ISO 2016 All rights reserved viiBS ISO 24624:2016BS ISO 24624:2016Language resource management Transcription of spoken language1 ScopeThis document specifies rules for representing transc

35、riptions of audio- and video-recorded spoken interactions in XML documents based on the guidelines of the TEI. As a secondary objective, the document aims to relate transcribed data with standards for annotated corpora. It is applicable to transcription data for studies in sociolinguistics, conversa

36、tion analysis, dialectology, corpus linguistics, corpus lexicography, language technology, qualitative social studies and other transcription data of recorded spoken language. It is not applicable to other forms of transcription, most importantly transcriptions of hand-written manuscripts.Annex A gi

42、s detailing what spoken language phenomena are to be transcribed, and how they are to be transcribed4 MetadataThe TEI guidelines formulate extensive suggestions for encoding metadata inside different subsections of the element. The following section addresses only those pieces of metadata which are

43、either (i) crucial for ensuring the interpretability and exchangeability of spoken language transcriptions in general or (ii) likely to be relevant in a large majority of cases. This does not preclude the possibility of, or necessity for, encoding further metadata inside the element.4.1 Description

Only the actual recording(s), usually digital au

46、dio and/or video files, should be described here. General information about the respective interaction which is independent of the recording(s) should be described in the element (see 4.2.2).2 ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS ISO 24624:2016ISO 24624:2016(E)A element inside a element should be used to

47、refer to the corresponding digital file via a url attribute (see Reference 2). A type attribute on should be used to indicate the media type of the recording; audio and video are the permissible values for that attribute. The actual digital file type should be encoded as a mimeType attribute (see Re

48、ference 8) on the element. Where two or more files are derived from the same master recording (e.g. a video file or an extracted audio track), these should be represented as different elements inside the same element, rather than as different elements. TEI linking mechanisms, such as or corresp, can

49、 be used to describe relationships between different recordings or between recordings and other elements, such as speakers.EXAMPLE 2 Use of Parkinson Talkshow on BBC, broadcast on 02 November 2007Video excerpt downloaded from YouTube with aTube-Catcher, convertedinto MPG format with Adobe PremiereAudio extracted from video with Audacity 1.3 betaRecorded with a ZOOM H4NSP, external lapel microphoneclipped to Victoria Beckhams dressSynchronized with David Beckhams record-ingReco
