1 Introduction<br />

• transcription/annotation file in ELAN and in plain text format<br />

• metadata concerning the session in XML and plain text formats<br />

• metadata concerning the entire collection in XML<br />

In addition to the above files, collections may also include the following files:<br />

• video recording in MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 format<br />

• digital images in JPEG format<br />

• other supplementary files<br />

The transcription/annotation files are divided into numbered, utterance-based<br />

units and include at least a transcription <strong>of</strong> any <strong>Pite</strong> <strong>Saami</strong> language usage. A<br />

specific utterance can be referred to using the collection/session name and the<br />

utterance number. The <strong>Pite</strong> <strong>Saami</strong> original is translated into Swedish and/or English,<br />

and provided with linguistic glosses. Other comments are included as well,<br />

whenever deemed relevant or useful. Finally, in cases with code-switching, the<br />

language being used in a certain utterance, or part there<strong>of</strong>, is indicated. Tiers in<br />

all ELAN files are organized hierarchically based on the template in Figure 1.4 for<br />

each speaking participant in a recording, plus a ‘notes’ tier for general comments.<br />

A list <strong>of</strong> all recordings in the corpus can be found in the Appendix on page 261,<br />

including brief descriptions <strong>of</strong> content and an indication <strong>of</strong> the number <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pite</strong><br />

<strong>Saami</strong> words transcribed and translated per recording.<br />
