Semantische Erschließung frühromantischer Korrespondenzen. Wissensrepräsentation als Element einer ›Semantic Scholarly Digital Edition‹

Abstract

The project Correspondence of Early Romanticism is dedicated to the potential of digitally supported analyses of letters from the years 1790 to 1802. It uses letter editions of key players in early Romanticism, closes gaps and provides full texts and homogeneous metadata. The gradually emerging corpus of around 7,500 letters will be evaluated using network analysis. In this contribution, initial graphical representations, using the example of greeting instructions in letters, shed light on the structure of the Romantic network of communication. The article discusses techniques of semantic annotation as a form of knowledge representation with a focus on the connexions we have introduced, which reproduce letter statements in the form of triples or quadruples.
