    Searching and visualizing Named Entities in modern Dutch novels. The named entity (NE) tagging and resolution in NameScape enables quantitative and repeatable research where previously only guesswork and anecdotal evidence was feasible. The visualisation module enables researchers with a less technical background to draw conclusions about functions of names in literary work and help them to explore the material in search of more interesting questions (and answers). Users from other communities (sociolinguistics, sentiment analysis, …) also benefit from the NE tagged data, especially since the NE recognizer is available as a web service, enabling researchers to annotate their own research data. Datasets in NameScape (total of 1.129 books): Corpus Sanders: A corpus of 582 Dutch novels written and published between 1970 and 2009 will. Corpus Huygens: Consists of 22 novels manually tagged with detailed named entity information. IPR for this corpus do not allow distribution. Corpus eBooks: Consists of 7000+ Dutch eBooks tagged automatically with basic NER features and person name Part information. IPR for this corpus do not allow distribution. Corpus SoNaR Books: 105 Dutch books; NE tagged. Corpus Gutenberg Dutch: Consists of 530 NE tagged TEI files converted from the Epub versions of the corresponding Gutenberg documents. Recent research has conclusively proven names in literary works can only be put fully into perspective when studied in a wider context (landscape) of names either in the same text or in related material (the onymic landscape or “namescape”). Research on large corpora is needed to gain a better understanding of e.g. what is characteristic for a certain period, genre, author or cultural region. The data necessary for research on this scale simply does not exist yet. NameScape aims to fill the need by providing a substantial amount of literary works annotated with a rich tag set, thereby enabling researchers to perform their research in more depth than previously possible. Several exploratory visualization tools help the scholar to answer old questions and uncover many more new ones, which can be addressed using the demonstrator.

  • TiCClops: Text-Induced Corpus Clean-up online processing system

    TICCL (Text Induced Corpus Clean-up) is a system that is designed to search a corpus for all existing variants of (potentially) all words occurring in the corpus. This corpus can be one text, or several, in one or more directories, located on one or more machines. TICCL creates word frequency lists, listing for each word type how often the word occurs in the corpus. These frequencies of the normalized word forms are the sum of the frequencies of the actual word forms found in the corpus. TICCL is a system that is intended to detect and correct typographical errors (misprints) and OCR errors (optical character recognition) in texts. When books or other texts are scanned from paper by a machine, that then turns these scans, i.e. images, into digital text files, errors occur. For instance, the letter combination `in' can be read as `m', and so the word `regeering' is incorrectly reproduced as `regeermg'. TICCL can be used to detect these errors and to suggest a correct form. Text-Induced Corpus Clean-up (TICCL) was developed first as a prototype at the request of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek - The Hague (KB) and reworked into a production tool according to KB specifications (currently at production version 2.0) mainly during the second half of 2008. It is a fully functional environment for processing possibly very large corpora in order to largely remove the undesirable lexical variation in them. It has provisions for various input and output formats, is flexible and robust and has very high recall and acceptable precision. As a spelling variation detection system it is to the developer’s knowledge unique in making principled use of the input text as possible source for target output canonical forms. As such it is far less domain-sensitive than other approaches: the domain is largely covered by the input text collection. TICCL comes in two variants: one with a classic CLAM web application interface, and one with the PhilosTEI interface.

  • DuELME: Search interface to the Dutch Electronic Lexicon of Multiword Expressions

    The DuELME search interface provides access to the DUELME electronic lexicon, which contains more than 5,000 Dutch multiword expressions (MWEs). MWEs with the same syntactic pattern are grouped in the same equivalence class. The search interface enables users to search for MWEs on the basis of a range of syntactic and semantic criteria, among them expression, pattern id, written form, type, conjugation, polarity, parameters, form, etc. Extensive documentation on the structure of the database is available. DuELME (Dutch Electronic Lexicon of Multiword Expressions) is one of the results of the project Identification and Representation of Multiword Expressions (IRME). The lexical descriptions boast to be highly theory- and implementation-neutral. The DUELME LMF lexicon is suitable for theoretical research on multiword expressions as for use in NLP systems. The DuELME-LMF project has been carried out within the CLARIN-NL programme.

  • CMDI Registry/editor

    The CMDI Registry/Editor allows metadata modelers and editors to share and reuse CMDI metadata schema or build new ones (partly) based on previous work. CMDI is the metadata framework adopted by CLARIN. Metadata for language resources and tools exists in a multitude of formats. Often these descriptions contain specialized information for a specific research community (e.g. TEI headers for text, IMDI for multimedia collections). To overcome this dispersion CLARIN has initiated the Component MetaData Infrastructure (CMDI). It provides a framework to describe and reuse metadata components that are pieces of the completemetadata schema. Such components can be grouped into a ready-made description format (a “profile”). Both are stored and shared with other users in the Component Registry to promote reuse. Such metadata profiles (equivalent to a metadata schema) can be used to instantiate metadata descriptions that describe language resources. The CMDI approach combines architectural freedom when modeling the metadata with powerful exploration and search possibilities over a broad range of language resources. The CMDI Registry development was supported by both the Dutch and German national CLARIN projects.

  • VK: Verrijkt Koninkrijk (Enriched Kingdom)

    Dr Loe de Jong’s Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden in de Tweede Wereldoorlog remains the most appealing history of German occupied Dutch society (1940-1945). Published between 1969 and 1991, the 14 volumes, consisting of 30 parts and 18,000 pages combine the qualities of an authoritative work for a general audience, and an inevitable point of reference for scholars. In VK this corpus is enriched with: - Tokenization, sentence splitting, part-of-speech tagging and lemmatization (done with the FROG software from Tilburg University); - Named entity recognition (done using UvA's NE tagger (specially trained for Dutch within the Stevin DuoMan project)); - Polarity tagging (positive/negative connotation of words) (done using UvA's FietsTas software (developed for Dutch within the Stevin DuoMan project)); - Named entity reconciliation by linking to Wikipedia (done using software developed by Edgar Meij (UvA)).

  • TQE: Transcription Quality Evaluation

    The Transcription Quality Evaluation (TQE) tool is an instrument that automatically evaluates the quality of phonetic transcriptions. The application makes it possible to upload pairs of files consisting of an audio file and a transcription file and process them as follows: the audio signal and the phonetic transcription are aligned, segment boundaries are derived for each phone, and for each segment-phone combination it is determined how well they fit together, i.e. for each phone a TQE measure (a confidence measure) is determined, a number ranging from 0-100%, indicating how good the fit is, i.e. the quality of the phone transcription. The higher the number, the better the fit. The output of the TQE tool consists of a TQE measure and the segment boundaries for each phone in the corpus. The TQE tool thus makes it possible to find (sequences of) segments for which the match of the phone symbols with the audio signal is not optimal, in other words, the TQE tool can be used to check the quality of phonetic transcriptions. This can be useful for validating (manual) phonetic transcriptions, but also to compare and select (‘competing’) transcriptions, e.g. to study pronunciation variation. The TQE tool can thus be usefully applied in all research – in various (sub-) fields of humanities and language and speech technology (L&ST) – in which audio and phonetic transcriptions are involved.

  • PILNAR: Pilgrimage Narratives - a corpus for studying the profile of the modern pilgrim

    A corpus of pilgrimage narratives with Dutch texts written after ca. 2000 that present the thoughts and impressions of pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. The PILNAR corpus is a source for research for a variety of (sub)disciplines: culture studies, ritual and religious studies, but also media and e-culture studies (cf the use of blogs and other social media for the self-presentation of experiences). Only for authorized users. The PILNAR corpus contains six subcorpora: - Volumes of De Jacobsstaf 1986-: 84 pdf files; - Volumes of De Pelgrim of the Flemish Society of Santiago de Compostella nos. 1-4 (16mb, 10mb, 16mb) (both societies work collaborate closely); - Volumes of Ultreia, a newsletter; 3 issues available now: January, February, April 2011; - Pilgrimage accounts and blogs by pilgrims available via the Societies Netherlands: circa 140 files; Flemish: circa 138 files; - A corpus of pilgrimage narratives compiled on the occasion of the exhibition in Museum Catharijneconvent held in collaboration with the Society: www.pelgrimsverhalen.nl; (link is external) already on the site now: about 180 fields (as of July 2011); - Accounts and narratives that come in after a specially targeted notice via the site and periodical by the Society (De Jacobsstaf), with perhaps a Flemish companion piece (De Pelgrim).
