title: Week 4 - Molding and Modeling Data
---

In this module, we investigate the critical procedures involved in annotating data, thereby preparing it for analysis. These processes invariably entail the making of mindful decisions. As we gear up for the hands-on tutorials, we also explore an integral component of data analysis: data modeling. We will demystify this process, its bearing on our data handling techniques, and what constitutes an effective data model.
In this module, we investigate the critical procedures involved in data creation and cleaning, and how [OpenRefine](https://openrefine.org/) can be used in this process. These processes invariably entail the making of mindful decisions. During our second session this week, we will look at the technology behind making text digitally readable.

title: Week 5 - Text Digitization and Markup Languages
title: Week 5 - Text Digitization (pt. II) and Distant Reading
---

During our first session this week, we will look at into the technology behind making text digitally readable. Our historic postcard collection provides the perfect case study for exploring both Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) technologies. In our subsequent session, we will explore the world of markup languages, such as HTML and XML. We will discuss their significance in structuring and presenting digital content, and explore how these languages serve as the backbone of content representation on the web.
During our first session this week, we will continue with our exploring of Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies. In the second session, we will shift our focus to Distant Reading, a method of analyzing large bodies of text to uncover patterns and trends that are not immediately apparent.

title: Week 6 - Distant Reading
---

This week begins with a lecture on Distant Reading, where we will explore the theoretical framework and methodologies for analyzing large bodies of text. We'll discuss how this approach can uncover patterns and trends that are not immediately apparent, setting the stage for the hands-on lab session where we will be leveraging the web-based [Voyant Tools](https://voyant-tools.org/), known for their user-friendly, powerful capabilities for visual text analysis. This module is designed to be both instructive and engaging, providing you with practical experience using digital tools to analyze large textual data sets. Drawing inspiration from the works of [El Khatib and Ross (2022)](https://doi.org/10.17613/42c8-mk80), we will conduct an ecological reading of Emily Brontë’s novel *Jane Eyre*, and an exploratory thematic analysis of Mary Shelley’s *Frankenstein*.
