Method and apparatus for linking representation and realization data
TLDR
In this paper, a method and apparatus for creating links between a representation and a realization (e.g., text data and corresponding audio data) is provided, by combining a time-stamped version of the representation generated from the realization with structural information from the representation.Abstract:
A method and apparatus for creating links between a representation, (e.g. text data,) and a realization, (e.g. corresponding audio data,) is provided. According to the invention the realization is structured by combining a time-stamped version of the representation generated from the realization with structural information from the representation. Thereby so called hyper links between representation and realization are created. These hyper links are used for performing search operations in realization data equivalent to those which are possible in representation data, enabling an improved access to the realization (e.g. via audio databases).read more
