Work planned during this period

<work packages/tasks due this reporting period>

CHLT has been active for just over a year and this report outlines the work of months 13 Ð 15 in the second year of the project.  At the first annual review meeting CHLT was given permission to move to a quarterly reporting system (instead of a bi-monthly one) in light of the striking imbalance of reporting requirement between the US and EC partners. Work in this period has concentrated on three phases: Phase 2: Tools Development was initiated in month 6 and has continued on schedule, as has Phase 3: Evaluation which began in month 10.  Phase 4: Integration has been active from the start of the project. Progress has been made in the following areas:

 

 

á    Document Cluster Visualization Tool

á    Word Profile Tool

á    Facilities to Accept and Preserve Feedback

á    Integration of Text Processing System

Work Planned for this Period

<work packages/tasks due this reporting period>

CHLT has now been active for 21 months and this report outlines the work of the third quarter of the second year of the project.  There have been three cycles of work active in this period. Phase 2: Tools Development was initiated in month 6 and has continued on schedule. Phase 3: Evaluation began in month 10 and is also on schedule.  Phase 4: Integration has been active from the start of the project.

 

 Progress has been made in the following areas:

 

á    Document Cluster Visualization Tool

á    Word Profile Tool

á    Facilities to Accept and Preserve Feedback

á    Integration of Text Processing System

á    Old Norse Morphological Analyzer

á    Latin Morphological Analyzer

á    Early Modern Latin Texts

á    CHLT Website Development

á    Project and Programming Integration

á    Integration Meetings

á    Dissemination

 

 

The following Workpackages were active during the period :

 

WP1 Ð Advanced Digital Library Applications

WP2 Ð Computational Linguistics

WP3 Ð Collaborative Infrastructure

WP4 Ð Old Norse Morphological Analyzer

WP5 Ð Neo-Latin Morphological Analyzer

WP6 Ð Test-bed Development

WP7 Ð Management of Consortium

WP8 Ð Integration

WP9 Ð Dissemination and Exploitation


Achievements of WP 1 : Advanced Digital Library Applications

 

WP Leader: Stefan Reuger

Scheduled dates: 1 December 2003 Ð 29 February 2004

Actual dates: 30 March 2004

Deliverables: D 1.2

 

á The main work of this period has been to finalize work on the design of the interface for the Document Cluster and Visualization Tool; it has been tested and completed on schedule. Additional progress on this tool has been made ahead of schedule in two main areas:

 

(i)             Modifying the Document Cluster and Visualization Tool to handle a multiplicity of distinct document collections; this is an essential requirement for making it widely applicable to texts that exist in more than one collection, such as Greek texts that have been translated into Latin.

 

(ii)           The building of new collections.  What used to be two tightly linked, although functionally quite distinct indexing steps are now neatly separated, each with its own Java wrapper which provides a standard API to other programs.  We also designed a graphical user interface that accesses these wrappers to index new collections.

 

 

Estimated achievement: 67 % ahead of schedule

down to task level, following the same structure:

            á  The main work of this period has been to create a robust Digital Library

Infrastucture for data-sharing based on a system of unique name identifiers

for organisations, collections and individual digital objects.  The focus has

been on integrating OAI-derived metadata into every aspect of the digital

library system, from catalogue browsing to full text searching to implicit

linking between documents.

 

Estimated achievement: 58 % as planned
