Digitizing Material Culture from Late Medieval Europe

This presentation showcases the system being employed by the DALME project to transform household inventories in European archives into computer actionable data available online. This consists of a four-step workflow that relies on sophisticated digital tools, including a Digital Asset Management system for storing and serving the images of the documents (IIIF), a custom-built visual editor for transcribing and annotating their contents (TEI), a parser to extract information from the text (NLP), and a classifier to encode the extracted information into our universal ontology (machine learning).
