Description:

The project is focused on applied interdisciplinary research in digital humanities. The aim of the project is to create an online accessible and comprehensively annotated full-text digital collection of Slovak prose until 1951 (with regard to copyright and GDPR). The collection will be processed and annotated according to European standards (ELTeC) so that it can be applied to advanced methods of computer processing of literary texts, generally referred to as "distant reading". The project also includes the education of scholars and the general public in the use of the digital collection of Slovak prose, and dissemination of scientific methods based on distant reading to the wider range of humanities.
