Semantic Blumenbach

II. Named Entity Recognition

on multilingual historical TEI encoded texts

Corpus of 12 editions of “Handbuch der Naturgeschichte” from 1779-1830.

Named Entity Recognition (NER) on TEI P5 Tite encoded full-texts for places, persons and objects from the natural history domain.

Irregular orthography and multilingual texts from the second half of the 18th century. Precision and recall above 90% with a list-based parser.

Identification of app. 10.000 terms/text and app. 1000 persons/ 1200 places/ 1300 references to the collection database per text.

References to collection database via:

<term xml:lang="de" sortKey="Holz"><rs type="Palaeobotanik" ref="101 113 194 195 196 209 313 409 440 642">Holz</rs></term>

I. Introduction

Blumenbach-online, a project of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities, started in January 2010 and aims at both digitizing and presenting the writings and collections of the influential Gottingen physician and naturalist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840), one of the founding fathers of physical anthropology, online. To date, almost half of the textual material (77.000 pages altogether) and roughly a quarter of the collections have been digitized and converted into TEI-encoded texts or entered into a database. It is through an application of Semantic Web technologies in a spin-off project called "Semantic Blumenbach" that we hope to explore text-object relationships and establish methods for presenting and providing linked data for Blumenbach-online.

III. WissKI

Project of the Artificial Intelligence Chair from the Department of Computer Science at the Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (AI) and the Department of Museum Informatics at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum (GNM) in Nuremberg .

The goal of the WissKI project is to apply the concept of Wikis to the scientific domain and to support transdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and researchers from various domains.

Drupal 6 based modules with ECRM Top-Ontology

VI. Conclusion

With the additional modules developed for Semantic Blumenbach, WissKI provides a powerful and attractive environment for connecting both texts and objects in RDF within the CRM-model.

Ingest of already annotated TEI-P5 texts with several hundred pages is now possible.

WissKI provides a SPARQL Endpoint and supports LIDO as exchange format.

Downside: High learning curve for modelling data in CIDOC-CRM.

V. Connecting Texts and Objects

Connecting text (terms with reference strings) and objects via unique IDs of collection database (semblu:E42_KerndatenID).

Ingest of TEI encoded books with hundreds of pages now possible with newly added WissKI-modules (texttei and book_import) including triplification of entities from the text with a XSLT stylesheet by Martin Scholz.

IV. Modelling the data in ECRM

Erlangen CRM (ECRM) is an OWL-DL Version of CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM). It serves as top –ontology allowing for application ontologies (semblu).

For internal display and import of data the pathbuilder module of WissKI is used. By defining groups for linguistic objects and museum objects the system can disambiguate incoming data automatically and therefore connect objects using the same identifier.

Good support for local and global authorities by the WissKI-system is available.
