An Annotated and Federated Digital Library of Marine Animal Sounds

Abstract

One specific objective of this project is to design software that will permit remote experts to annotate the content of long recordings archived at the Macaulay Library through their web browsers. Annotations will permit subsequent searches of the archive database to retrieve not only suitable recordings, but also those parts of a recording meeting the search criteria. A second main objective is to define and extract a set of acoustic features from all archived marine recordings that can be used in subsequent search and retrieval tasks. A third task is to refine the geographical location data for each recording in preparation for collaborative linking with OBIS-SEAMAP. The combined capabilities will be unique to this sound collection, and will greatly enhance the accessibility and the utility of the archive to scientists, students, educators, military personnel, the media, and the general public.
