Official premiere of Metadata-enriched Polish Novel Corpus from the 19th and 20th centuries (#1920MetaPNC), first Polish literary corpus balanced not only historically but also geographically we created at @IBLPAN together with @marekkubis and #CLARINPL @bibliodataWG @DARIAHeu

@a_karlinska @Jberenike @IBLPAN @marekkubis @bibliodataWG @DARIAHeu @Grig_gg A presentation on the Metadata-enriched Polish Novel Corpus (#1920MetaPNC) is available at tinyurl.com/metacorpus. A text describing the work on the corpus and its use in literary research is available at tinyurl.com/metapnc. We are happy to answer further questions.

@espejolento @wikisource @wikidata @satdeepgill Very cool and glad to see #ELTeC being used! Regarding the issues: only in ELTeC-pol, some post-1920 novels appear to have slipped in, not other languages. And 20-year slots are not "categories", but simply a way to encourage even spread across the period 1840-1920. ^cs
