eTRACES- Winged words, quotations and our cultural heritage

Be it science or the everyday life - our language contains numerous trails of our cultural legacy in the form of winged words and quotations. eTRACES now create new software tools for making this cultural legacy available in digital libraries. With the help of those programs the origin and dissemination of text passages, quotes and common phrases can be reconstructed in a quick and easy manner.

The main focus of eTRACES lies on temporal traces and interconnecting relations of text passages in ancient Greek (Perseus Digital Library), German language novels from between 1500 and 1900, as well as social science texts created since 1909. Project partners are the chair for Natural Language Processing at the University of Leipzig (ASV), the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH), as well as the GESIS – Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences in Bonn.
