Abstract

In a relatively recent study on the needs of humanities faculty and students in using digital sources 1, two major issues were identified: 1) locating data relevant to a topic when online collections are distributed across institutions and systems; and 2) being able to explore the items found in context. In addition, problems were identified with crossing language barriers and with ambiguities and variants in names. The CORE contextual reader is an application that uses natural language processing and Linked Data 2 techniques to address these issues in the context of close reading of primary source material3. Particularly, the CORE application has been designed to improve the user reading experience with texts in a domain not entirely familiar to them. Examples of this situation include a history student approaching a new topic through primary sources, or a layperson trying to make sense of law texts.
