The Ecole de Massy corpus was produced in 2002 by the OuRAL Project ('OUtils et Ressources pour l'Analyse de la Langue') which aimed at building resources and tools for French written and spoken language processing. It can be useful for research in educational sciences and man-machine communication for specific populations.
It is also part of the first delivery of Parole Publique (Public Speech), a project aiming at the creation of a large corpus (orthographic transcription and morpho-syntactic annotation) of spoken French dialogues. The Parole Publique corpus is primarily intended for researches on man-machine communication.
