Themed Evidence: Listening Experiences - Gold Standard

Exploring digital resources in search of pieces of evidence relevant to a certain research theme is a difficult and important task for humanities research. The concept of evidence is a particularly difficult one, as it relates to a fact being reported in a text, which is relevant to a certain subject of enquiry. The Listening Experience Database Project (LED) - http://www.listeningexperience.org/ - is an initiative funded by the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) aimed at collecting accounts of people’s private experiences of listening to music. This dataset is a gold standard for supporting the evaluation of competing methods for detecting themed evidence of "listening experience".
