DCDC16 | Mining A Manuscript Catalogue - Ben Outhwaite, University of Cambridge

Mining a manuscript catalogue Ben Outhwaite, University of Cambridge The digitisation of the tens of thousands of medieval manuscript fragments from the Cairo Genizah Collection at Cambridge University Library have brought existing problems into focus. Even after 100 years, there is no complete catalogue — analogue or digital — of this immense archive, meaning that searching the digital images in a meaningful way is, for large areas of the collection, impossible. In order to rapidly produce useful metadata and allow for more effective navigation, a project was launched in 2012 to text mine the century of scholarship on the collection and automatically produce descriptive metadata for the manuscripts. www.dcdcconference.com DCDC16 videos produced by Iconic Productions (http://iconictv.co.uk/)
