Meeting Notes from Oct. 26, 2007
- SVA is not functioning so we are using a linux box. The code is being written in VTK so it can be scaled to the SVA if we need it.
- We have the test text, the Frankenstein text. For the moment
- We have agreed to start with a ring of collocates. This will look like a friendwheel in Facebook: http://www.thomas-fletcher.com/friendwheel/
- We will start with 200 collocates in alphabetical order
- Mousing over a collocate shows lines to the words it collocates with
- Thickness of lines is just a count of number of collocations. Later we will look at relative strength of collocation
- For later:
- Then we will experiment with coloured words
- We will look at a fish-eye of the text in the middle
- We can experiment with the distance of the word from the middle is an indication of the count of the words
- The code will read the text in serial and build the animation
Pseuocode
- Read in a text and read in stop words
- We are working with a plain text
- We then get a concordance for one word
- This gives the collocates
It looks like we will need serialized pseudocode.
