nora Update

For those of you who follow our work on the nora project there is new content online. Of greatest interest perhaps is the ability to experiment with a Demo based on our work here at Maryland; there’s also significant new material under Screenshots, and slew of stuff now in Publications/Reports. (All of these are available under the Work In Progress section.) Enjoy, and questions or feedback welcome.

Nora is a multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary Mellon-funded project to apply text mining and visualization techniques to large humanities-oriented digital library collections (starting with a 10,000-text corpus of 18th and 19th century British and American literature). An introduction is available here.

I’ll be posting some more about nora as part of The Valve’s upcoming discussion of Franco Moretti’s Graphs, Maps, Trees.
