Computation Stack
Computation |
Query |
Data |
Semantic Stack
ideas |
facts, sentences, quotations |
parts of speech |

ex post facto criteria for google DH grants
Is it feasible?
- unrealistic requirements for clean data
- AI-ex-machin
Is it worthwhile?
- someone else doing it?
- is it too easy?
- is it broad enough?
Can we provide needed assess?
Does it enable other researchers?
Does it illustrate a new style?
- refactoring the victorian
- what walter holten did

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

“MONK is a digital environment designed to help humanities scholars discover and analyze patterns in the texts they study (see the table at the bottom of this page for detailed information on what is in the MONK datastore, and terms of availability). The MONK project has been generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, from 2007-2009, and InCommon integration has been supported in 2009 by the CIC Library Directors. All code produced by the project is open source. MONK has a publicly available instance with texts contributed by Indiana University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Virginia, and Martin Mueller at Northwestern University.”
