<div>You can set up a streaming server on any computer with an
internet<br>
connection, so you don't need to have anything to do with the LDC if
you<br>
don't want to. But they have a model for what kind of links are
possible<br>
to whole media files.</div>

A concern with the Linguistic Data Consortium, is that once you
provide your data to them, to then access it through their streaming
server, it is also then accessible by everyone. How can we preserve
the restricted access to the language material should the language
community ask for it?<br>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Re Pascale's message, I am very impressed
by the performance of the<br>
Switchboard corpus hosted<br>
on the LDC site (mentioned by Nick) in this regard. Even from my
56k<br>
modem at home I can download audiobites of 20secs or more in only
a<br>
couple of secs then run them through PRAAT or whatever. You can do
a<br>
global search for items (words or phrases) across the very large<br>
corpus<br>
of transcripts, get a concordance with large sections of text
either<br>
side of the target item, play/download either the item or the
section<br>
containing it with very little delay and continue doing such
searches<br>
and downloads. Several formats are available including wav.<br>
<br>
I don't know what technology lies behind this, if this could be<br>
replicated or how much it would cost, but maybe Steven Bird could<br>
advise.<br>
