Abstract
For this paper, in the context of the French research project Spectacle en Ligne(s), we have recorded the entire set of rehearsals of one theater and opera production using state-of-the-art video equipment. The resulting raw video and audio tracks as well as manually generated annotation data were then preprocessed in order to localize actors and detect their dialogues. Based on these preprocessing steps, we have built a Web-based hypervideo application that allows for navigation through performance time, space, and time using modern HTML5 Web technologies like the emerging Web Components standard. We publish and consume the annotation data as Linked Data Fragments, a novel way to make triple-based structured data available in a scalable way. Researchers interested in the genetic analysis of live performances can, thanks to our application, better understand the different steps to a chef dœuvre. A demo of the application is available at http://spectacleenlignes.fr/hypervideo/.
