Jaap Kamps and Maarten Marx (both University of Amsterdam) will give a tutorial at Digital Libraries 2014, London, called Digging into Parliamentary Data.
Date: Monday, 8th September.
The tutorial will show how to incrementally annotate textual corpora, starting from OCR’ed flat text to encoding structure and entities, and demonstrate the remarkable power of such light-weight semantic annotation: linear text becomes valuable research data that can be sliced and diced to present many views.
This tutorial is part of the Digging into Linked Parliamentary Data (DiLiPaD) and Exploratory Political Search (ExPoSe) projects.
Text of tutorial proposal.
