Event: TextGrid Summit

Göttingen, 21.-22. January 2009

  • Wednesday, 21 January: Symposium with international speakers, TextGrid demo, use cases, and discussion of prospects in the e-Humnanities (conference language: English)
  • Thursday, 22 January: Developers' Workshop and Hands-On-Session

Participants MPDL: Heike, Melanie, Kristina

For details, please check the Agenda for the Symposium.

TextGrid: Introduction and Overview[edit]

  • Presentation of the TextGrid beta version
  • TextGrid is the first German grid computing project for the eHumanities
  • Goal of the project:
    • to develop a virtual research infrastructure (based on distributed resources)
    • to develop generic grid services, which can also be used by other grid projects
  • The basis is to modulate a service orientated infrastructure (SOA) with user interfaces and the usage of standards when ever that's possible.
  • Live demonstration of the TextGrid Lab:
    Different tools are available:
  1. Workflow Editor
  2. XML Editor
    • for the creation of transcriptions based on different schemes (e.g. TEI)
    • links the transcription (text) with the corresponding scan (image) and displays both representations next to each other
  3. Text-Image-Link Editor
    • allows to link a selected part of a scan with the corresponding xml code
  4. Project and User Management
  5. Collation Tool
    • front end for the end user
    • next to the scans, the transcriptions will be displayed in HTML (with all connections displayed as links)
  • (Newly created) data will be stored in the grid, but can also be kept locally

TextGrid: TextGrid Tools and Services[edit]

  • Available services:
    1. Dictionary services
      • several dictionaries are integrated and searchable
    2. Lemmanizer
      • words can be linked directly with the corresponding entry in an integrated dictionary
    3. Search within the Grid for metadata and fulltextes
  • TextGrid is a D-Grid project (D-Grid: creates a huge grid infrastructure of data in Germany)
  • The aim of TextGrid is the building of a community which will put their data in TextGrid, work with the provided tools and develop new tools. They do not offer an out of the box solution

Use Cases[edit]

1. Musicology

Daniel Röwenstrunk (University Paderborn)

2. Psycholinguistics

Peter Wittenburg (Max-Planck-Institute for Psycholinguistics)
  • Presentation of two tool which are used by the institute:
  1. Lexica
    • uses LMF (Lexical Markup Framework, standard for lexicas)
    • local tool
  2. ELAN tool for annotated media (videos)
    • background: scientists shoot videos about rare cultures
    • webbased
  • Both tools shall be integrated into TextGrid
