Dear All,
Juha Makkonen, MSc, Reseacher · Department of Computer Science University of Helsinki [email protected] 040 - 767 4000 · 09 - 191 44187 · www.cs.helsinki.fi/~jamakkon ...presented on ECDL2003 in Trondheim work on extracting events from free text, news actually. I regard this as a very promising method to extract metadata compatible with the CIDOC CRM. Juha is quite interested in other material to investigate. My first thought was, if anyone could make Juha available exhibition catalogues in electronic form in an unburocratic way for testing his algorithms. For me, this would be an immense step forward. A more thorough test could be to use exhibition catalogues, particularly some dedicated to a specific artist, with biographical texts. Please let me know, if you see any possibility to support this research.
