| Abstract |
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 30
volumes still combine the qualities of an authoritative work for a
general audience, and an inevitable point of reference for scholars.
The aim of this project is twofold; in the demonstrator part of the
project advanced tools and techniques are applied to gather data on De
Jong's perception of the much debated issue of pillarization (Dutch:
'verzuiling') and group identity. In the resource curation part of the
project the corpus will be enriched and made available to the
CLARIN-community for further research. The overall budget for the
project is 119,993 Euro and the partners are: NIOD Institute for War,
Holocaust and Genocide Studies (NIOD), University of Amsterdam (UvA),
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUA), Meertens Institute and Data
Archiving and Networked Services (DANS-KNAW).
Ill be telling a bit about my role in Verrijkt Koninkrijk, which
involves the creation of a NIOD SKOS thesaurus and vocabularies based
on Named Entity Recognition results. I aim to map these to external
sources and will develop use cases for enriched access to the source
material. |
