E-laborate: Interacting with Text in a Networked Environment.
We would like to present the e-Laborate website, located at www.e-laborate.nl. The site has been developed in two projects. The first was called ‘e-Laborate: a digital platform for partnerships in the humanities and social sciences’ and resulted in the basic tools needed for a virtual workplace for researchers in the humanities and social sciences. The project had a data side and a text side. We will concentrate on the text side in our poster presentation. More than 50.000 pages in scans and transcriptions have been placed here so that a group of users can explore the potential and find out how to enhance the usefulness of such a virtual workplace. The second project, ‘Text enrichment in virtual communities’, added a new annotation tool to the e-Laborate workplace. We will show how the tools can be used and point to the new possibilities e-Laborate offers and could lead to.
