    Abstract

    In the beginning of 2018, The Language Archive migrated its repository from an in-house built solution to a solution that is largely based on Islandora. We will talk about the migration trajectory and will present the new setup, which includes a custom ingest front- and back-end

    Abstract

    In this paper, we describe the core pillars of a large archive oflanguage material recorded worldwide partly about languages that are highly endangered. The bases for the documentation of these languages are audio/video recordings which are then annotated at several linguistic layers. The digital age completely changed the requirements of long-term preservation and it is discussed how the archive met these new challenges. An extensive solution for data replication has been worked out to guarantee bit-stream preservation. Due to an immediate conversion of the incoming data to standards -based formats and checks at upload time lifecycle management of all 50 Terabyte of data is widely simplified. A suitable metadata framework not only allowing users to describe and discover resources, but also allowing them to organize their resources is enabling the management of this amount of resources very efficiently. Finally, it is the Language Archiving Technology software suite which allows users to create, manipulate, access and enrich all archived resources given that they have access permissions.

    Abstract

    The repository of the MPI contains different types of linguistic material: the DOBES endangered languages archive, the ESF second learner corpus, the Dutch Spoken National Corpus, MPI's gesture corpora, MPI acquisition corpora and MPI language documentations of the language and cognition research group. The archive covers more than 200.000 objects, mostly organized in sessions that are described with the IMDI-based metadata descriptions. Mostly, these sessions contain digitized audio/video signals and layers of annotations. In general access to these resources is limited and can be made available upon request. The Language Archiving Technology (LAT) is meant to contribute to the archive infrastructure. It focuses on open accessibility of the language resources; it supports dynamic and continuously enriched collections according to the Live Archives ideas; it stresses the need for long-term archiving of our digital collections covering unique martial about languages that will probably be extinct in a few decades and it follows the trend towards service oriented architectures. LAT components consist of data management and ingestion tools (IMDI, LAMUS and AMS) and of archive enrichment and visualization tools (ELAN, ANNEX and LEXUS). The tools are being developed and maintained by the Technical Group of the MPI. All LAT products are or will become available under an Open Source license and will be available free-of-charge in academic research.
