File: segment.doc ------------------ Explanation of information in segment.tbl The file segment.tbl contains information for the recordings in this corpus, such as the time, place, and length of the recording, the speakers present in the recording, etc. For each of the 16 recordings there are 12 fields (including the "speaker" field, which can occur multiple times), and a corresponding number of lines in segment.tbl. The first four lines are as follows: sbc015 segment_title: Deadly Diseases sbc015 date_rec: 19880701 sbc015 event_dur: 4:00:00 sbc015 record_dur: 1:34:42 Each line has three tab separated columns. The first column is the file id for the corresponding recording. The second column is the field name; field names always end with a colon and contain no white space. The third column is the field value. Please note that the recording duration (record_dur:) relects the length of the original recording, NOT only just the transcribed portion included in this distribution.
