Visualization
We will be testing evaluating a number of visualization tools for possible inclusion in CWRC. Some of these tools use Orlando project data as sample data. Others, however, allow you to import your own texts for visualization and analysis.
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.
Corpus Creation Instructions
Below are instructions for creating corpora for use with the Voyeur and Mandala visualization tools.
