  2. Research BILAND • Towards a flexible and stable CLARIN-supported web-application for bilingual historical analysis of eugenics discourses in Dutch and German news media Men behoort het kruisen met andere rassen te vermijden en binnen iedere bevolking moet men de instandhouding der erfelijk volwaardige elementen bevorderen’, G.P. Frets in het tijdschrift Erfelijkheid in 1935.

  3. Research Claim:Eugenics movement almost non-existent in the Netherlands Zeeburgerdorp (1918) Woonschool voor asocialen

  4. Research Problem: Lack of understanding of diversity and intensity of public discourse around heredity and eugenics in Dutch and German newspapers Aim Comparative historical research of public debates around heredity and eugenics in Dutch and German newspapers, 1900-1945 Research questions How can we identify meaningful entities and relations that serve to map the diversity and intensity of public discourse around the topic of heredity and eugenics? How can we use CLARIN standards, technology and infrastructure to build a user-friendly demonstrator that supports bilingual and biscriptural historical discourse analysis

  5. KB Krantendatabase Research • Databank Digitale Dagbladen • Journals in the collection of the Royal Library (KB) in The • Hague (Krantenmagazijn Koninklijke Bibliotheek) • The project Databank Digitale Dagbladen digitalizes on a • large scale Dutch national.regional, local and colonial • newspapers and make these online and free available. • Online available • Since 28 May 2010 first results on the webservice • Historische kranten • http://kranten.kb.nl • Nine million newspaper pages 1618-1995 available by • Mid-2012

  6. PROBLEMS IN HISTORICAL RESEARCH Research Available data too extended and/or too scattered for comprehensive study and analysis. If indices on data are available, the researcher is dependent on the author of these indices. They are almost always incomplete and, over larger periods of times, inconsistent.

  7. Edgar Allan Poe’s detective Research ‘Experience has shown, and a true philosophy will always show, that a vast, perhaps the larger portion of truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant.’ (The Mysterie of Marie Roget, 1842)

  8. Research Poe’s detective finds the truth by using data in those newspaper articles that do not concern the murder. In a similar way we will find sentiments in those newspaper articles that are at first sight irrelevant.

  9. Research • What does the user of BILAND want? • Auxiliary tool for observing and analyzing trends and patterns • - Interactive tool with the possibility to adapt the original lexicon • Possibility of production and analysis of subsets of data • Identification of individual key documents • -Translation modality

  10. WE NEED: Research A semi-automatic and interactive open-source application that extracts relevant data from a mass of seeming irrelevance. An application that does not replace, but supports the intuition and insights of the researcher. An application that is user-friendly.

  11. Information-extraction • Recognize structure in text • Part of speech • Noun, verb, … • Entities • people, organisations, locations, temporal expressions, … • Relations • Who, what, with whom, how, why E-everything
