Digital Scholarship Conversations series is a monthly brown bag hosted by Tisch Library. Each conversation will focus on a different topic, helping us share ideas and build community around the intersection of digital technology and our research and teaching.
The Connected Corpus is a living collection of annotated digital texts. As a digital project, it’s relatively simple: The annotations describe philosophical connections between different texts and authors, and they connect you to those texts in translation and the original language using hyperlinks. This discussion will touch on the philosophical inspiration for the project, as well as the opportunities and challenges of learning TEI; working with research assistants in computer science; and using premade platforms and tools for your projects.
