Conversion and Annotation Web Services for Spoken Language Data in CLARIN
Thomas Schmidt, Hanna Hedeland, Daniel Jettka · Publication Server of the Institute for German Language (Institute for German Language) · 2017
We present an approach to making existing CLARIN web services usable for spoken language transcriptions. Our approach is based on a new TEI-based ISO standard for such transcriptions. We show how existing tool formats can be transformed to this standard, how an encoder/decoder pair for the TCF format enables users to feed this type of data through a WebLicht tool chain, and why and how web services operating directly on the standard format would be useful.
