Supreme Court Oral Argument Audio Archiving Instrumentation

9602170 Goldman这个项目将创建一个美国最高法院在500个涉及宪法问题的案件中口头辩论的档案。这些存档的论点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cd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。希望使用现有口头辩论录音磁带的学者，由于可获得性的限制，其能力受到严重限制。音频可以相对轻松地部署到万维网上，这将使学者和学生能够重新审视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. %%%%%
