Summary: How should knowledge organizations, application developers and researchers work together to unlock audio assets while remaining within regulatory frameworks?

The conference celebrates the end of the second Archival Sound Recordings project, which has answered this question successfully. But it is only a beginning: future projects of this kind will demand a greater degree of shared aspiration and commitment.

Reviewing existing and emerging practices and technologies, the conference will be of interest to all users and suppliers of digital content, whether sounds, moving and still images, and texts, including:

  • content owners
  • academics
  • service providers
  • user groups
  • resource managers
  • system integrators
  • designers and implementers of data mining, search & content analysis tools

Papers are invited from listeners and application developers as well as from audiovisual archives about collaborative approaches to unlocking audio.
