Querying Lingua Libre
The sound library is structured in a Semantic Web database where all the recordings and their data are described.
Overview
The data model includes 3 core concepts of Lingua Libre.
Audio recordings
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.
The list of audio recordings is available on this DataViz: DataViz:Records.
Language
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.
The list of speakers on Lingua Libre is available on this DataViz: DataViz:Speakers.
Querying the data
The data can be queried using LinguaLibre's SPARQL endpoint.
