- Katrin Schoening-Stierand (Universität Hamburg)
Despite the various challenges in automatic text recognition for printed (OCR) and handwritten (HTR) material, great progress has been made during the last decade. Several milestones have been reached regarding the actual text recognition step but also in layout analysis and pre- and postprocessing. Additionally, free open-source implementations of related tools and algorithms are released...
WiKoDa: A dashboard to enhance science communication
Science communication is a crucial topic for both researchers and public discussion. On the one side, researchers need to develop communication skills to make their research accessible to an audience outside their field. On the other side, scientific opinion often consolidates arguments and helps audiences understand the current state...
While research data management systems (RDMSs) provide many benefits for scientists, data integration is still one of the major bottlenecks for the adoption of an RDMS. Especially the omnipresent dependency on file-based digital workflows and the strong heterogeneity of file and data layouts pose important challenges. We have developed a crawler-based concept [1] that allows us to combine...
Introduction
Interoperability is key. Libraries, archives, and other repositories providing data to the public utilize a variety of metadata standards and interface specifications. TextAPI is a newly developed API specification (so far mainly used for digital scholarly editions) that provides metadata about textual resources while TIDO (Text vIewer for Digital Objects) is an application...
