CLARIN Web Services for TEI-annotated Transcripts of Spoken Language

Abstract

We present web services which implement a workflow for transcripts of spoken language following the TEI guidelines, in particular ISO 24624:2016 "Language resource management-Transcription of spoken language". The web services are available at our website and will be available via the CLARIN infrastructure, including the Virtual Language Observatory and WebLicht.

The TEI-based ISO Standard ‘Transcription of spoken language’as an Exchange Format within CLARIN and beyond

“…Initially, this meant another mapping to formats and services for written data (internally, TCF, see Figure 9: An ISO/TEI annotation chain defined in WebLicht. (Schmidt et al, 2017)), but services adapted to spoken language data based directly on the ISO/TEI format have now also been developed (Fisseni and Schmidt, 2020) and can improve results where the Selected papers from the CLARIN Annual Conference 2021 linguistic characteristics of spoken and written language differ to a great extent. A sample processing chain is shown in Figure 9.…”
