Mike, Ray, and Karin participated in a poster session at the second Chicago Colloquium on Digital Humanities and Computer Science, at Northwestern University, with a project titled: “Building One to Throw Away, Toward the One We’ll Keep: Next Steps for the Renaissance English Knowledgebase and Professional Reading Environment.”
Abstract: Joyce’s comment that “A man’s errors are his portals of discovery” quite aptly embodies our experience in creating a proof-of-concept for the Renaissance English Knowledgebase (REKn) and the Professional Reading Environment (PReE). We propose a poster presentation that details the current status of our knowledgebase project (presented/demonstrated at last year’s Chicago gathering), one that focuses particularly on [1] the direction our work is now taking, and [2] a demonstration of the technologies that we will be employing and their current implementation.
