Through the use of my tool called the Distant Reader, I have refined a process for indexing things like Code4Lib Journal. [1] The Distant Reader harvests an arbitrary number of user-supplied files or links to files, transforms them into plain text files, and performs numerous natural language processes against them. The result is a large set of indexes that can be used to "read" the given corpus. I have made available the about pages of a number of such indexes: * Code4Lib Journal - http://dh.crc.nd.edu/tmp/code4lib-journal/about.html o 1,234,348 words; 303 documents o all articles from a journal named Code4Lib Journal * Cultural Analytics - http://dh.crc.nd.edu/tmp/cultural-analytics/about.html o 318,287 words; 33 documents o all articles from a journal named Cultural Analytics * Plato - http://dh.crc.nd.edu/tmp/plato/about.html o 929,704 words; 24 documents o the complete works of Plato * aesthetics - http://dh.crc.nd.edu/tmp/aesthetics/about.html o 2,296,890 words; 37 documents o books classified as the philosophy of art At an upcoming high performance computing conference, I -- with a number of colleagues from Indiana University -- will be presenting a poster about the Distant Reader, and we will be taking part in a hack-a-thon. [2, 3] If you too would like hack against the output of the Distant Reader, then drop me a line.
