3. “Enabling anything like seamless access to the cultural record
will require developing tools to navigate among vast catalogs of
born-digital and digitized materials, […]
The return on this investment will be a humanities and social
science cyberinfrastructure that will allow new questions to be
asked, new patterns and relations to be discerned, and deep
structures in language, society, and culture to be exposed and
explored.”

• Language technology can be used to
identify events
• Events provide meaningful links between
different collections

39. Future Work
• Fine-tuning event extraction approach
• English version of the system
• User involvement to improve event
relations
• User-generated narratives
