Title The Ariadne System: A Flexible and Extensible Framework for the Modeling and Storage of Experimental Data in the Humanities.
Authors Peter Menke and Alexander Mehler
Abstract During the last decades, interdisciplinarity has become a central keyword inresearch. As a consequence, many concepts, theories and scientific methods getin contact with each other, resulting in many different strategies and variantsof acquiring, structuring, and sharing data sets. To handle these kind of datasets, his paper introduces the Ariadne Corpus Management System that allowsresearchers to manage and create multimodal corpora from multiple heteogeneousdata sources. After an introductory demarcation from other annotation andcorpus management tools, the underlying data model is presented which enablesusers to represent and process heterogeneous data sets within a single,consistent framework. Secondly, a set of automatized procedures is describedthat offers assistance to researchers in various data-related use cases.Thirdly, an approach to easy yet powerful data retrieval is introduced in formof a specialised querying language for multimodal data. Finally, the web-basedgraphical user interface and its advantages are illustrated.
