Follow on from last week • Price, Kenneth M., “Edition, Project, Database, Archive, Thematic Research Collection: What’s in a Name? “ Digital Humanities Quarterly, Summer 2009 Volume 3 Number 3 • “1) a strict definition of database — as a technical term in an electronic context database refers primarily to a collection of structured data that is managed by a database management system, most commonly based on a relational model; and 2) a looser use of database that employs the term on a more metaphorical level.” • “As Folsom notes, "Whitman formed entire lines as they would eventually appear in print, but then he treated each line like a separate data entry, a unit available to him for endless reordering, as if his lines of poetry were portable and interchangeable, could be shuffled and almost randomly scattered to create different but remarkably similar poems" [Folsom 2007, 1574-75]. • What do we do with text and technology?
Content Analysis • Discourse • Structural • Semantic • Narrative • Textmining • News Analysis (Kremlin watching)
Busa, Index Thomisticus • Concordancing • Lemmatising etc (amo, amas, amabuntur, amavistine?...) • From no digital tools to more sophisticated tools
Tools: Tapor (now Voyeur) Collins Path to Freedom Connolly Labour & Easter Week
Tools • Catma • Juxta • Nvivo • http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=HDMxcHpMSOs
Price – What are we creating Edition, database, project…? • McCarthy “patterns of coherence..” • Renear (OHCO) v McGann (performance) • What are we working with and what are we doing with it? • Can we collaborate?
