Cross-lingual searching and visualization for greek and latin and old norse texts

We explore approaches to multi--lingual information retrieval for Greek, Latin, and Old Norse texts and an innovative visualization facility for the results

A Digital Studio for the Optical and Chemical Analysis Of Manuscripts and Printed Books

We propose the creation of a digital studio for the optical and chemical analysis of manuscripts and printed books. In this Level II start-up project, we will capture images of a 1472 guide for priests written in Latin by a Florentine archbishop and printed in Strasbourg using moveable type. We will image selected pages from this book at specific frequencies in the ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared spectrum. We will also conduct spot-level densitometry and Raman spectroscopy on elements in this book. The resulting data from these images will then allow us to create a digital studio that will include interactive tutorials and demonstrations explaining the principles of optical and chemical analysis to students, scholars, and life-long learners in the humanities. This digital studio will also allow users to browse and compare the images and spectroscopic data to form their own understanding of the book’s production process and reception history

Document Quality Indicators and Corpus Editions

Corpus editions can only be useful to scholars when users know what to expect of the texts. We argue for text quality indicators, both general and domain-specific

Approaching the problem of multi-lingual information retrieval and visualization in greek and latin and old norse texts

Abstract. In this paper, we explore approaches to multi-lingual information retrieval for Greek, Latin, and Old Norse texts. We also describe an information retrieval tool that allows users to formulate Greek, Latin, or Old Norse queries in English and display the results in an innovative clustering and visualization facility.
