Brian Tingle’s notes from Jon’s talk [google doc reader] [publish to the web version]

Two stacks

1. Computation Stack
2. Linguistic Stack

Computation Stack

Semantic Stack

Move computing to the data (too much data to move to each researcher)

ex post facto criteria for google DH grants

Is it feasible?

1. unrealistic requirements for clean data
2. AI-ex-machin

Is it worthwhile?

1. someone else doing it?
2. is it too easy?
3. is it broad enough?

Can we provide needed assess?

Does it enable other researchers?

Does it illustrate a new style?

1. refactoring the victorian
2. what walter holten did

Move up a level in a stack.

Improve level in a stack (reuse-able data set)

Or reasonable using one level as a proxy for a higher level (i.e. structure as a proxy for ideas)

Moving up a level by creating tools (intralanguage translations {early english to modern english})
