Data formats for phonological corpora

TL;DR

This paper discusses the development of standardized data formats for phonological corpora to enhance interoperability, reusability, and consistency across research and industrial applications involving spoken language data.

Contribution

It proposes a set of well-documented, standardized formats for phonological corpora to improve data sharing and tool compatibility.

Findings

Standardized formats increase data reusability.

Enhanced interoperability across tools and resources.

Facilitates collaboration in spoken language research.

Abstract

The goal of the present chapter is to explore the possibility of providing the research (but also the industrial) community that commonly uses spoken corpora with a stable portfolio of well-documented standardised formats that allow a high re-use rate of annotated spoken resources and, as a consequence, better interoperability across tools used to produce or exploit such resources.
