 Granularity
!  Data packaging and archives
!  Granularity:
!  Archives can provide virtual collections providing the
language materials represented in a publication
!  Provide Citation for the materials as standard
!  Provide the link into the entire collection so the study
is contextualised and leads to more thorough analysis
!  Avoids to just have a list of audio files without any
further information on the selection and origin of the
data
