The conference was held on February 15/16th 2006 with a hands-on workshop on Friday 17th.
The conference brought together partners in the EthnoER project and others with an interest in ways of dealing with ethnographic recordings. The primary aim of the conference was to develop guidelines for an online, annotatable and browsable media corpus that will be applicable to each of the test corpora in the EthnoER project.
A launch of the Capell collection of online images was held at 5.30 on Wednesday 15th February in room 509 of the Arts Centre, cnr Grattan and Swanston Streets.
Presentations relate to the annotation of fieldwork related media, recognising that, by building new ways of interacting with research data, we will be creating potential new research issues, and novel ways of addressing old research questions.
