Visualization session

Here you will find instructions on how to create your own corpora for use with visualization tools, links to visualization tools and instructions on how to use them, as well as the workshop schedule.

Some of the visualization tools that we will be evaluating allow you to visualize texts or collections of texts of your own choosing. If you would like to play with materials that are relevant to your research, you will want to prepare them in advance so that you can import them into the tools. The instructions below are meant to be easy-to-follow directions that require only basic computer literacy. (If you have any suggestions for how the directions themselves could be made more user-friendly, please send them to cwrc [the at sign] ualberta [a dot] ca.

Below are instructions for creating corpora for use with Voyeur and Mandala.
