Website of the Project: Mining and Modeling Text

The acquisition of knowledge from large amounts of text and data which can no longer be handled by individuals is becoming increasingly important due to the possibilities of digitization. For the humanities, this means in particular that digital full texts and rich metadata must not only be available, but must also be available in a form that promotes knowledge in the humanities.

The aim of the MiMoText project is therefore to establish an information network for the humanities that is fed from various sources and is not only freely available and linkable to other knowledge resources on the Semantic Web, but also offers new and efficient ways of accessing specialist academic information by providing it as linked open data. The focus is on sources on the history of the French novel from 1751 to 1800, with access to some existing full-text digital copies (e.g. from Gallica).

Bibliographic directories, specialist literature and primary texts serve as sources of information. From these, metadata, concrete text properties and descriptive or evaluative statements about relevant entities are extracted for example authors and works. For this purpose, quantitative methods for automatic text analysis as well as for the extraction and modelling of data from extensive text collections must be further and partly newly developed. After that, the information is converted into a Linked Open Data format and can be linked to each other and to the outside world. From the start of the project, the legal framework will also be analyzed in order to ensure that the knowledge network is set up and made available in accordance with copyright and data protection laws.
