!! 2. METHODOLOGY !!! 2.1 Documentary Monitoring : Methodology NMSAT is conceived as a historical collection and a pool of information, with a list of items chronologically classified by period and date. It offers an instantaneous perspective on the occurrence and chronological appearance of events and identified items over time. The collection has become a vast resource of references. The objective today is to open its structure in terms of navigation and participation. A collection of documents presents an hermetic and more or less linear structure comprising a list of items, which can only be updated at a given time. Our aim is to modify the intrinsic structure of NMSAT so that it becomes easily accessible to external contribution, modification, and navigation. The fact that NMSAT covers different areas of knowledge within the context of networked audio suggests the use of different approaches to accessing and navigating the database. Among these different approaches we have identified the following : *Contemporary music and audio art works from a telematic and collaborative view-point; *Sonic art, audio art and music systems and works in which the notions of “space” and of “place” are significant (soundwalks, soundmaps, locative sound, sound practices related to walking and ambulation, site-specific art (in-situ), phonography, field recordings, works involving inter-connected sites, etc. ) It includes significant works, events, and historical benchmarks in : *digital and interactive art : net-art, telepresence art, sociological art, tactical media art, art and communication, art and transmission, variable media and so on. and in the sonic art domains: radio art, sound poetry and so on; *contemporary art : conceptual art (issues of place and time), minimal and antiform art (issues of new and extra-visual perceptions), sociological art, land art and site-specific art, performance art, process art, net-art, art + com, contextual art and relational aesthetics and so on; *technologies (software & hardware) : developments in the Internet and data transmission, robotics, digital music, telematics and so on; *social phenomena as reviewed by sociology, philosophy and aesthetics, and related to music and art in digital context: on-line networks, broad- and narrow-casting contexts, social networking (with or without the Internet), ethno-musicology and sound anthropology and so on (Becker, 1974, 1982; see also Cristofol, 2005-2008; Joy & Argüello, 2005); *historical, modern & contemporary literature: early scientific publications, forward thinking & anticipatory literature, science fiction and so on. The methodology of monitoring is based on the use of keywords in search engines (Google, Google Scholar, In-Extenso, Citeseer, Scirus, Scitopia, FindArticles, Cybertheses, MIT OpenCourseWare, INIST-CNRS, etc.) or references and quotations from documents available on-line (websites, forums, mailing lists, webrings, etc.). Compiled information is tested and cross-checked using various sources and methods in order to establish its validity and before inserting it in the database. Websites such as turbulence.org and online reviews are valuable sources of information and are continuously consulted. They can also be used as references in starting an inquiry, and as “reservoirs” and repositories of information on current events and recent history. The NMSAT monitoring committee also consults and identifies references in other types of publication (books, articles, reviews, event programs, proceedings, newspapers, etc.) to extract information that may constitute a timeline entry. Bibliographies, footnotes and quotations which are listed in scientific articles and books, and in almost all publications, are crucial in the development of entry references and of semantic arborescence and navigation between information sources and the registered entry. The validation of each NMSAT entry depends on it being evaluated as consisting of an informative and pertinent summary plus webographic and bibliographic references. The aim of this validation is to ensure that the database remains an exact source of information. Entries have been formatted according to established editing rules and with a view to homogenizing contents. Thus the chronological organization of items has led to the development of a writing protocol : year, reference title, author(s), place, description, original and translated excerpts, quotation sources, bibliographical links and references. Each entry within the database presents a descriptive and informative summary from original and cited sources (websites, books, articles, conferences, essays, etc). Author(s) and source references, as well as references to the selected text, are associated with each entry. Navigation within NMSAT is possible through linear text mode, through the use of a hypertext menu or via keywords in search engines. {br}{br} !!! 2.2. Fields and Structure of NMSAT (version 1.0) The text is structured in 3 parts: *Ancient and modern history, anticipatory literature, technical developments (∞ - 1964); *Artworks, technological developments, contemporary history (1950 – today); *Reference articles and bibliography. * Part One Part One of the collection features literature, philosophy, the history of telecommunications, musical and artistic references, and references to science fiction. It allows for comparison and development of perspectives concerning technological breakthroughs, literary and artistic utopias, and musical and sonic explorations. Major references related to communication and sound technologies have been included in this part in order to highlight their influence, even though they are not directly linked to our research interests. These entries are not exhaustive, but they provide a context for a better understanding of the advent of networked audio. We consider that it is important to take into consideration certain benchmark events of human and technical explorations from the second half of the 19th century onwards. Part One is structured in a linear and chronological manner and concludes with a visionary quotation from 1964 concerning the advent of electronic networks (even though the development of ARPANET ^[Advanced Research Projects Agency Network^] started two years earlier). The quotation is notable in that it represents an emblematic shift in history, introducing the development of electronic networks, such as the Internet. * Part Two Similarly, Part Two starts with a major reference from 1951: the first contemporary and artistic work that used live sound from a distant location (Imaginary Landscape IV, John Cage). Part Two of the collection aims to provide a chronological list of artistic and musical works developed through networks, events based on network technology, significant references emanating from the observation of other subsidiary artistic practices an other domains. This observation also deals with socio-technical developments from the last 25 years of the 20th century : electronic networks, communities of internauts, social networking, broad- and narrow-casting, geographically identified locations and so on. * Part Three Part Three of NMSAT presents a list of reference articles and workshops notes, proceedings from symposiums and international conferences and other publications in the form of a bibliography classified by names of authors, and the title and year of publication. This standard structure permits the insertion of references in other bibliographical lists and has the potential to facilitate research processes. It also provides information on the dynamics of development in the area of research over the past years. Unlike Parts One and Two, Part Three is organized in alphabetical order (Parts One and Two are structured in a chronological form, as previously mentioned.) {br}{br} [../files/articles/nmsat/NMSAT_5p.jpg|../files/articles/nmsat/NMSAT_5.jpg] [../files/articles/nmsat/NMSAT_6p.jpg|../files/articles/nmsat/NMSAT_6.jpg] {br}{br} !!! 2.3. From Version 1.0 to Version 2.0 The structure of the upcoming database and the nature of interfaces will be designed to integrate access to multiple navigation options other than a linear textual form. This implies developing several types of consultation and spontaneous contribution by reviewers and researchers, defined by different types of fields to fill in in the editing window of the database, articles, annotation feeds, categories and tag series, internal links, multiple options of research fields and classification by internal engine, translation of entries contents, as well as visual navigation : graphic interfaces, tags inventory, and temporal, geographic and field classification. Multiple forms of access will have a significant impact on the visual aspects and on the overall representation of the database, as well as on our conception of history and of the organic character of each domain. Because different cultures and conceptions influence the orientation of our work and our comprehension of the world, the structure of NMSAT proposes various means to access its database as opposed to a unique viewpoint – this is a challenge but one that we feel needs to taken on. Within a chronological representation of history, as in blog-type structures, the organization of events creates a graphic and intellectual representation based on the singularity of each event and on a past-present-future linearity. Organizational principles such as anteriority, auctoriality{footnote}“Auctoriality” may be studied under three principles: the production of documents by one or several authors; reception by the readers of the author in the document; and the link permitting to find the author and the document . ‘Authority’ is attached to auctoriality by the link which may connect a author to a discourse of document. (Broudoux Evelyne (2007). Auctorialité : production, réception et publication de documents numériques. In Cepaduès (Ed.) ''La redocumentarisation du monde'' (pp.183-204). Toulouse (F) : dir. Pédauque T. Roger){/footnote} and geographical localization (“this event happened here” highlighting places and structures of organizations, or even perceived in happenstance as in “to be there at the right time”) remove each item from of their respective contexts or at least place them in a limited and specific context (spatial, geographical and historical). These principles do not render relations, correlations and intersections, and may at times create false ones. For instance, the principle of anteriority produces a cause-and-effect (or even consequence) linear comprehension between events that is not entirely faithful to reality and is often contradicted by observation. Linearity suggests that time is an imperturbable vector and distorts our perceptions of individual and collective decision-making processes, as well as conditions of influence such as one decision over another. Such processes and conditions are often influenced by intuition and individual logics, encounters, co-creation and cooperation dynamics extraneous to the notion of action considered as an isolated gesture. Using a system based on a progression of events is not necessarily the best way to represent a collection of references (works, articles, events) over time. As we know, art does not evolve with inventions and explorations, but is inspired by contextual situations : shifts, leaps, environmental and incidental reactions, and sometimes individual decisions not to mention serendipity. To this effect, we aim to develop, in parallel to the publication of version 1.0, additional approaches, based, for instance, on constellations of processes, social re-appropriations, and combinations of fluctuating situations{footnote}E.g., the historical representation of geographical zones, which is as important as other representations to understanding active dynamics.{/footnote}. This, in turn, will allow for a more profound comprehension of historical situations and artistic and scientific decisions, and will provide new overviews of circumstances and events when navigating with multiple interfaces in the database. It is important to underline the fact that we continue to consider that the linear version of NMSAT will remain a valuable and easy-to-use tool for documentation and research. {br}{br} [../files/articles/nmsat/NMSAT_13p.jpg|../files/articles/nmsat/NMSAT_13.png] [../files/articles/nmsat/NMSAT_14p.jpg|../files/articles/nmsat/NMSAT_14.png] [../files/articles/nmsat/NMSAT_16p.jpg|../files/articles/nmsat/NMSAT_16.png] {br}{br}{br}{br}
