- Abstract
- The National Gallery of the Spoken Word (NGSW) is a Digital Library Initiative-funded project based at Michigan State University with multiple internal and external partners. The NGSW is essentially a multicultural enterprise because of the variety of disciplines involved, each of which has a unique micro-culture and mutually-unintelligible specialized language. This article uses an ethnographic approach to describe three NGSW-based research projects: copyright, metadata, and digital preservation. Each of these projects shows some aspect of language-related infrastructure development. The NGSW's partners come from four different units on the Michigan State University campus: the College of Engineering, the College of Education, Matrix (a technology research center in the College of Arts and Letters), and the University Library. External partners include the University of Colorado (Boulder), Northwestern University, and the Chicago Historical Society. The original official letter-of-intent proposed five key points: 1. Founding a National Gallery of the Spoken Word analogous to the National Portrait Gallery for publicly available materials.. 2. Enriching the Gallery with a repository for oral history and other scholarly interview materials.. 3. Developing a practical, widely usable search engine for voice resources.. 4. Developing speech digitization standards.. 5. Testing the Gallery's utility in classroom settings..
