N2 - CHAOS (Cultural Heritage Archive Open System)provides streaming access to more than 500,000 broadcasts bythe Danish Broadcast Corporation from 1931 and onwards. Thearchive is part of the LARM project with the purpose of enablingresearchers to search, annotate, and interact with recordings.To support the researchers the optimal way, a usercentredapproach was taken to develop the platform and relatedmetadata scheme. Based on the requirements, a three level metadatascheme was developed: 1) core archival metadata, 2) LARMmetadata, and 3) project-specific metadata. The paper analyseshow researchers apply the metadata scheme in their researchwork. The purpose is to gain insight into broadcast researchers’tagging practice and motivation for tagging to inform future designof digital cultural heritage systems. The study consists oftwo studies, a) a qualitative study of subjects and vocabulary ofthe applied metadata and annotations, and b) five semistructuredinterviews about goals for tagging. The findings clearly show that the primary role of LARM.fm is to provide access to broadcasts and provide tools to segment and manage concrete segments of radio broadcasts. Although the assignedmetadata are project-specific, they have been applied to serve asinvaluable access points for fellow researchers due to their factualand neutral nature. The researchers particularly stressLARM.fm’s strength in providing streaming access to a large,shared corpus of broadcasts.
