basicleveltidy

This script helps with making changes to audio and video file annotations.

If you need to make changes to entries in the basic level files, those changes need to ripple back to the original annotated cha and opf files.

This script acts on aggregated basic_level csv files. You make the annotation changes to these long/concatenated csv's, then pass that file to the basicleveltidy script. It will crawl through the Subject_Files directory tree and find all the files that need to be updated. This includes the original basic_level file, cha files, and opf files.

usage

create_edit_csv.py

The concatenated csv doesn't have the edit columns in it yet. It's in this form:

id	tier	object	utterance_type	object_present	speaker	timestamp	basic_level
01_10_coderAR_audio_checkSM.csv	*MAN	alligator	d	n	FAT	4989390_4990400	alligator

The csv that needs to be fed into basicleveltidy needs to have extra columns where you put your edits. By running the create_edits_csv.py script, it will create a new csv based on the original concatenated one with those extra columns.

extra columns:

object_edit	utt_type_edit	obj_present_edit	speaker_edit	basic_level_edit
s			gator

$: python create_edits_csv.py [original_aggregate_basic_level.csv

blt.py

This is the main script that does the Subject_Files directory traversal and file updates. After you've made edits to the csv file that was output by create_edits_csv.py, you need to pass it to the blt.py (basicleveltidy) script:

$: python blt.py [output_from_create_edits_csv.csv]

If the csv you pass in is for video files, you might get this message after running blt.py:

================================================
#                                              #
#  A file: "opf_diffs.csv" has been created.   #
#  This file needs to be passed through a      #
#  datavyu script to update the opf files.     #
#                                              #
================================================

This opf_diffs.csv file needs to be fed into a Datavyu script (blt_opf_update.rb). You run the datavyu script like any other, except you need to specify the path to the opf_diffs.csv file within the script itself. For example
