One of the main obstacles for many Digital Humanities projects is the low data availability. Texts have to be digitized in an expensive and time consuming process whereas Optical Character Recognition (OCR) post-correction is one of the time-critical factors. At the example of OCR post-correction, we show the adaptation of a generic system to solve a specific problem with little data. The syste...

This paper briefly introduces the main ideas of a sustainable development OCR system based on open architecture techniques and then describes the construction of an optical character recognition (OCR) center built on computer clusters, for the purpose of dynamically improving the recognition precision of the digitized texts of a million volumes of books produced by the China-US Million Books Di...

This paper describes an ongoing research project involving the implementation of e-Government services on the Semantic Web. In particular, the project is aimed at managing the “digital identity” of citizens on the Internet, enabling them to benefit from “personalized” versions of the online services offered by the Public Administration, which can improve and optimize their involvement in the e-...

We present REDEN, a tool for graph-based Named Entity Linking that allows for the disambiguation of entities using domainspecific Linked Data sources and different configurations (e.g. context size). It takes TEI-annotated texts as input and outputs them enriched with external references (URIs). The possibility of customizing indexes built from various knowledge sources by defining temporal and...

With the increasing number of documents that are available in digital form, also the number of digital historical documents is increasing (Berkvens, 2001). It cannot be assumed that standard IR systems perform well on historical documents: historical texts differ from modern texts in three ways (Hüning, 1996; Van Der Horst and Marschall, 1989): (a) vocabularies have changed, (b) spelling has ch...

Prior to digital communications media, texts were primarily judged using hidden but assumed institutional practices (e.g., journal peer review processes, editorial mediation). Increasingly, digital communications media can make these previously invisible discursive practices visible in a persistent medium. Doing so transforms these discourses into texts where they are subject to: (1) a reader's...

Scope This Recommendation provides an introduction to propagation-related aspects of the design and operation of digital radio-relay systems, drawing on information from Radiocommunication Study Group 3 texts and measurements conducted by administrations. Annex 1 explains the role of multipath fading as the dominant propagation factor for digital radio-relay systems operating at frequencies bel...
