Title: The Accolades Project on Large Textual Corpora - Working Paper
Authors: Mansfield, Charlie
Issue Date: 19-May-2010
Citation: Mansfield, Charlie (2010) The Accolades Project on Large Textual Corpora - Working Paper, Edinburgh Research Archive (ERA), Edinburgh.
Abstract: Through my software development and computer programming in PHP and JavaScript I continue to develop analysis tools for use on huge corpora of text (typically 250 000 to 400 000 words). These corpora include longer literary texts and large files of written web content. By writing new search tools using the PHP scripting language this part of my on-going research will aim to automate the identification of instances of space and movement in the content. The applied aspect of the new software created will be the development of this web-tool for use in an advisory or consultancy capacity for specialists in textual analysis and for professionals concerned with the management of urban destinations in the tourism industry. It is particularly aimed at town planning officers and tourist managers who wish to develop tourism using their literary and built heritage.
