Library for text and image analysis by the Digital Humanities lab (DH-lab)
Project description
DHLAB
DHLAB is a library of python modules for accessing text and pictures at the National Library of Norway.
The National Library of Norway (NLN), Nasjonalbiblioteket (NB) in Norwegian, has developed an API (Application Programming Interface) to query the texts in the library's digital archive of books and newspapers, NB Digital.
The Digital Humanities lab group at the NLN
has developed the dhlab library on top of the API, which offers
functionalities for scientists to access the literary archive with python.
The API allows for deeper analysis of the digital texts by generating e.g. word frequency lists, concordances, collocations, n-grams, as well as extracting names and narrative graphs.
Analyses can be performed on both a single document, and on a larger corpus. It is also possible to build one's own corpora based on bibliographic metadata.
Example use
The Jupyter Notebooks in the digital_tekstanalyse repo show examples on how to use the library, and can be used directly in your browser without prior programming experience.
