Online publication of the "2-voices experiment". This content was created for the synthesis workshops of the ANR SESAMES project organised at the Chartreuse de Villeneuve Lez Avignon. It consists of a set of twelve questions relating to pairs of sounds that the listener has to compare. Listeners are asked to interpret these sounds to differentiate between voices or places, for example.
The aim of the experiment, scripted as a group experience, is to highlight the acoustic personalities of the different architectures studied as part of the SESAMES project.

This development is based on a methodological proposal: introducing justification matrices that allow the analysts means to associate to the components of a 3D virtual reconstruction, “indicators” that formalise in a synthetic way an assessment of plausibility. These matrices allow to assign to individual 3D objects or to groups of objects a quantitative evaluation of their plausibility by crossing four criteria: shape, dimensions, existence, and position. The experiment led to the creation of a proof-of-concept prototype allowing a user to interact in real time with the graphic appearance of each object, represented in a 3D reconstruction, according to the values of its justification matrix. The approach is applied to four phases of the evolution of Marmoutier abbey's hostelry (corresponding to four synchronous states - 12th, 31 13th, 15th and 18th centuries). The development consists of a database and of on-the-fly representations in a 3D environment of plausibility analyses, but also a more abstract analytical visualisation that can be used to trace justification patterns in relation for instance with a specific type of architectural component.

Reshaping of the T-box and Abox parts of the SHART ontology for genericity purposes. Initially focused on translating the semiotic triangle as interpreted to analyse concept/instance/term relationships in the specific case of architecture vocabulary into the form of an ontology, this ontology is currently being reworked to adapt it to other knowledge spaces.
Work in progress, in collaboration with B.Markhoff (CITERES-LAT)

Partial and exploratory re-exploitation of the set of semantic relations between architectural concepts designed as part of the SESAMES project (ontologies section). These relationships are intended to help the human user understand (and differentiate) the concepts better, to serve as a means of navigating between instances, and have also been used in an original infovis solution (a map of relationships between concepts).

The need for enrichment was triggered by an initiative to check the suitability of the Memoria system for the description of protocols that do not fall within the field of historical heritage research (for example, protocols linked to ecological inventory studies or "site exploration" activities). Analysis of the structure of 'data collection and acquisition' activities revealed similar phases and activities for these distinct areas. The review also highlighted the presence of gaps in certain groups of activities, as well as structural biases caused by the focus on a specific discipline (e.g. archaeology).
As a result of these findings, the structure of the 'data collection and acquisition' group's activities was broadened:
• The enrichment of the structure of the activities with elements allowing to distinguish experimental and non-experimental approaches, "in situ" and "ex situ" activities, as well as "research design" (i.e. distinguishing research approaches and defining the phases and specificity of research design). The original structure of the activities did not include these factors - a consequence of the lack of experimental approaches in our practice.
• The 'setup installation' sub-group of activities has been extended to include activities and descriptors related to inspecting equipment and consumables, as well as a review of health precautions in relation to the possible need for decontamination - partial or total - of humans or animals involved in the data collection phase (human/animal inspection);
• The sub-group of 'contact data acquisition' activities has been extended to include activities and descriptors relating to the measurement of physical and chemical properties (physical properties acquisition, chemical properties acquisition),
• The remote sensing activity was supplemented by descriptors describing the physical properties that were measured,
• The sub-groups for activities related to site exploration and human-source information have been supplemented with descriptors relating to the senses used in data collection (perception mode).
• The descriptors relating to site particularities have been expanded.
The structure of the 'finalisation' group's activities has been broadened to include a 'presenting' activity and four descriptor groups.

Set of documents including description of structure of alphanumeric code(explanations and examples) that serves to record the process structure and the set up the algorithm for its generation (paracode, examples, flowchart).
The first version of the code was created in the first half of 2014. Subsequent changes in the use of the system have led to the need to adapt the code to meet new requirements. The structure of the code has been modified to:
- enable the generation of PDF documents detailing the structure of MEMORIA's flow diagrams in the most logical way possible - these diagrams can be potentially very complex,
- enable straightforward comparative analysis of processes

Database designed for the data correlator, a web IS used to cross examine spatial, architectural and acoustic data, enabling visual analysis (by a human expert) of interactions between architectural and acoustic variables in architectural interiors, as well as comparisons between different buildings.
This database serves as the starting point for the four visualisations of the SESAMES correlator, used to correlate data sets acquired as part of the SESAMES research programme (ANR-18-CE38-0009-01 project).
49 thematic tables (including 26 tables dedicated to acoustic indicators), 6,776 records

An effort to publish the data in a structured, open manner is planned for the post-project period. The first experiment was carried out on the specific case of photographic collections (Notre-Dame-de Bethléem chapel, Bras, 83) on the Huma-Num TGIR's NAKALA platform.

Preparatory work for the use of the system as part of the ERC n-Dame_Heritage project, including the training of an engineer responsible for describing the processes leading to scientific results within the ERC n-Dame.
This phase included, among other things:
• identification of the results to be documented
• structuring of the Memoria process diagram (familiarisation with concepts, rules, successive stages and the protocol to be respected)
• documenting processes within Memoria IS
• introduction of how to extend MEMORIA IS with new activities and descriptors

Extension of the "chronographs" online application (Chronogaphe SESAMES):
• implementation of an indexing interface (addition and modification of global and local context elements, addition and modification of artefacts, alternative names, evolution of artefacts, references, transformations, states),
• PDF export - this module generates a PDF file for the selected object. The resulting file contains the sum of the information gathered in the database on the object in question (i.e. the analysis of the object's evolution proposed by various analysts), including the object's identification (main name and alternative names), known transformations of the object (dating, description and references), the consequences of these transformations (i.e. synchronous states) and elements of the historical context).
This redevelopment is cumulative in terms of its functionalities (new services).
Work carried out as part of an eight-week internship by Florence Raoul and Lorenzo Geano (POLYTECH Marseille, Computer Science Department).

Work aimed at proposing an extension to the quizzmaker architectural vocabulary edutainment platform and offering additional ways of interrogating the system (filtering by instance), either by means of a cartographic module or by using miniature images.
This exploratory extension is NOT integrated into the quizzmaker platform, but its graphic appearance is based on the choices made in the original development.

Amendments introduced to the structure of the databases:
- addition of a 'user' table (rights management);
- addition of the 'user_ID' column to all tables (rights management);
- change of name and modification of the role of the 'Thumb_URL' > 'Thumb_Copyright' column in the 'artefact' table (information on the copyright of the images used in the thumbnails);
- merging of three tables ('geoinfo_place', 'geoinfo_artefacts', 'toponym') into a single table ('geoinfo_artefacts') with a simplified structure.
