Supreme Court Oral Argument Audio Archiving Instrumentation

9602170高盛这个项目将创建美国最高法院在500起提出宪法问题的案件中的口头辩论档案。存档的论据将在万维网上提供给研究人员、教师和学生。音频文件将以接近光盘质量的质量进行数字化，并将存储在专用音频服务器上。有关案件的信息文件将存储在数据库服务器上，以便进行复杂的搜索。此前，对最高法院的研究很少基于直接的行为证据。希望使用现有的口头辩论录音带的学者，由于可获得性的限制，他们这样做的能力受到严重限制。音频可以相对容易地部署到万维网上，这将使学者和学生能够重新审查具有里程碑意义的案例和当前的争议。%

9602170 Goldman This project will create an archive of U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments in 500 cases raising constitutional issues. The archived arguments will be made available on the World Wide Web to researchers, teachers, and students. Audio files will be digitized at near compact disc quality and will be stored on a dedicated audio server. Information files about the cases will be stored on a database server to allow complicated searches. Previously, research on the Supreme Court was rarely based on direct behavioral evidence. Scholars who wished to use available audio tapes of oral argument were sharply limited in their ability to do so because of limitations on availability. The relative ease with which audio can be deployed on the World Wide Web will enable scholars and students to reexamine landmark cases and current controversies. %%%%%
