Challenges for Data Curation and Selection. Starting Infrastructure Community for Computational Literary Studies
The overall aim of the CLS INFRA, an Integrating Activities for Starting Communities (IASC) project, is to create a unified and easy access to the best European and national infrastructures for the CLS community which has not been fully supported to benefit from the existing infrastructures and data resources. The project will therefore consolidate, integrate and further develop institutional, national and regional efforts to build shared and sustainable access to the high-quality data, tools and knowledge in the field of literary studies, in general, and Computational Literary Studies (CLS), in particular. In my talk, I focus on the challenges on data curation and selection and discuss the following questions: What are literary corpora or how do we need to define them? Which criteria for data selection and curation are needed? How can we develop a data landscape review which enables findability and provides (intellectual) access to CLS resources in order to foster their re-usability?
