Evaluation of the Archivio Vi.Vo Architecture: A Case Study on the Reuse of Legacy Data for Linguistic Purposes

Abstract

The object of this paper is the validation of the Archivio Vi.Vo. architecture, developed within the CLARIN-IT consortium for the preservation and accessible consultation of historical oral archives. Following the first case study employing the Caterina Bueno archive, the goal is to now show how this innovative architecture is also suitable for conducting research investigations on the archival data and hosting different types of archives. The real use case study presented in this contribution, aims at employing the Angela Spinelli archive for conducting a sociophonetic investigation on Tuscan vernacular.
