SAMUELS End of Project Meeting: Updates on Thematic Categories and Texts
This project meeting in Glasgow focused on updating thematic categories and manually tagged texts, along with changes to the historical thesaurus structure. The thematic categories were refined to provide user-friendly aggregation levels for search results, with a specific focus on categories like parties and social events. The manual tagging process involved excerpts from historical documents, fiction pieces, biographies, and journalism materials, highlighting the need for re-evaluation in certain areas. Additionally, structural changes were made to categorize content related to life, health, people, animals, plants, food, and more, reflecting a detailed organization of information.
