The programmes in the Sound and Vision archive are labelled with keywords describing their subject (in the bg:keywords.bg:keyword metadata field). We can use these keywords to do a straightforward search. However, we can also use them to take us on a journey through the archive, by finding which terms also occur together with a chosen search term, and selecting new terms to add to our query. In each stage, we show the most common related words in a word cloud, and at the end, we show search results from the archive that are labelled with our group of query terms.
Note that keywords are only used for about 20% of the archive, so this does not give a complete picture. In the future, it would be interesting to do the same with terms extracted from text describing the programmes, and the speech transcripts.
