- W2066046516 abstract "Ukrainian Folklore Audio Natalie Kononenko (bio) The Internet provides scholars with an ever-expanding variety of ways to interact with the public. Crowdsourcing, or putting one’s research tasks online and asking for help from volunteers, is perhaps one of the most rewarding things an academic can do. The assistance one gets is not only free labor, but it is also reassurance that others are interested in the things that we find fascinating. Crowdsourcing, as I learned from the Ukraine Folklore Audio project, also provides researchers with valuable information about the public. When I first developed the idea for this project, my goal was to have prospective users help me select which of the many types of folklore materials that I had recorded during my fieldwork in Ukraine should be processed for non-academic consumption. By choosing to transcribe and translate one type of audio file as opposed to another, the volunteers would reveal their interests while simultaneously doing some of the work needed for the publication of the texts. As my team and I worked with our contributors, we discovered that our site could also be used to glean information about the dynamics of heritage and ethnicity. Our volunteers came largely from the Ukrainian Diaspora, so we were crowdsourcing the audio files to a limited demographic rather than the public at large. We discovered that we could “experiment” with this group by adding select content to our site and watching volunteer reactions. Some of our results confirmed findings in other heritage situations while others were specific to Ukrainian culture and influenced by Ukraine’s political history. The understanding of the Diaspora that we gained through work on this site could not have been possible through other means. Ukrainian Folklore Audio (http://www.artsrn.ualberta.ca/folkaudio/)is a site where the public can listen to songs, stories, and beliefs recorded in Ukraine and among the Ukrainian Diaspora of Kazakhstan. Volunteers who wish to transcribe the recordings or translate them can “check out” the item that interests them and work on it. All completed transcriptions and translations are available for public use. Thus, when an item has been completely processed, the user can listen to a recording, see it written out in Ukrainian, and also view the parallel English translation. Anyone can use the site passively but, to avoid frivolous posts, we have required people submitting transcriptions and translations to register. Because of the registration requirement, we consider our site a modification of crowdsourcing and call what we do “groupsourcing.” The registration requirement also helps with quality control. Submissions made by a volunteer are visible only to that volunteer and to the person monitoring the site (usually me) and are posted for general viewing only after they have been checked for accuracy. Ukrainian Folklore Audio is an outgrowth of Ukrainian Folklore Sound Recordings (http://www.artsrn.ualberta.ca/UkraineAudio/). This is a research site developed with the help of Eric Zhang, a programmer then working at the Arts Resource Centre of the University of Alberta; Svitlana Kukharenko, a graduate student at the time; and Peter Holloway, a volunteer. The impetus behind the Ukrainian Folklore Sound Recordings site was my desire to easily find the information that I was seeking in the vast volume of recordings I had accumulated during my fieldwork. Like all folklorists, I faced the problem of dealing with a large volume of data, over 200 hours of sound in my case. Transcription of sound recordings—the standard way of processing field data—if done digitally, does produce files that can be searched. The problem with transcription is that it is an enormously time-consuming process and, once a sound file is converted into text, the expressive qualities of speech such as intonation, inflection, and volume are lost. Our solution was to index the sound files. We noted the time in a recording when a particular topic was being discussed. There were a limited number of topics since I was working on family rituals dealing with birth, marriage, and death. With the help of Zhang, we developed a program that linked each identified topic to the point in each sound file where the particular topic arose. Thus, if..." @default.
