Extracting Geographical References from Finnish Literature: Fully Automated Processing of Plain-Text Corpora

Abstract

<p>In the Atlas of Finnish Literature 1870-1940 project, we extract geo- graphical information from a Finnish-language corpus of literary texts published between 1870 and 1940. The texts are transformed from plain texts to TEI/XML, and further processed with named entity recognition and linking tools. The results are presented in a web-based environment. This article describes the technical structure of the analysis chain, the tools used and the metaprocesses used to manage the research dataset.</p>
