The sound library is structured in a Semantic Web database where all the recordings and their data are described.

Overview

Overview of the data model of the Lingua Libre database

The data model includes 3 core concepts of Lingua Libre.

Audio recordings

See also DataViz:Records.

Every recording created with the Record Wizard is added into the database along with some metadata that includes the date the recording was created, the speaker and the language.

Language

See also LinguaLibre:List of languages

This is the language of a speaker or of a recording. This property may point to a language defined on Wikidata (wikidata:Q34770).

Speaker

The speaker is the person that pronounced one or several words in an audio recording. There are various information on the speaker such as their residence at the time of recording and their native tongue.
