InterFace is a new type of annual non-profit event. Based on the format of last year's successful forum at the University of Southampton, this year follows in the same footsteps: part conference, part forum, part networking opportunity. The conference aims to bring PhD students, early postdocs and other early researchers together from the fields of Technologies and the Humanities in order to foster cutting-edge collaboration. Delegates can also expect to receive illuminating talks from experts, presentations on successful interdisciplinary projects and on how to succeed as academics.

tool: MONK

Purpose: 

MONK (Metadata Offer New Knowledge) is an online toolset created to assist humanities researchers with the discovery and analysis of patterns within a textual resource. It supports micro analyses of the verbal texture of an individual text and macro analyses of hundreds or thousands of text objects. Each text is converted to an TEI compliant schema using Abbot, normalised using Morphadorner with tokenization, sentence boundaries, standard spellings, parts of speech and lemmata and finally ingested using a Prior tool into a database that provides Java access methods for data extraction.

Features: 
  • Micro analysis of verbal texture of an individual text
  • Macro analysis that allows the user to locate texts in the context of a larger document space consisting of thousands of other texts.
