Understanding Archives : Towards New Research Interfaces Relying on the Semantic Annotation of Documents
Comprendre les archives : vers de nouvelles interfaces de recherche reposant sur l'annotation sémantique des documents Understanding Archives : Towards New Research Interfaces Relying on the Semantic Annotation of Documents
Abstract
The digitisation campaigns carried out by libraries and archives in recent
years have facilitated access to documents in their collections. However, exploring
and exploiting these documents remain difficult tasks due to the sheer quantity of
documents available for consultation. In this article, we show how the semantic
annotation of the textual content of study corpora of archival documents allow to
facilitate their exploitation and valorisation. First, we present a methodological
framework for the construction of new interfaces based on textual semantics, then
address the current technological obstacles and their potential solutions. We
conclude by presenting a practical case of the application of this framework
