Opening Up Google Books
Like explorers cutting through the jungle, so digital humanists continue to slice through swathes of large sources of data, the so called 'big data'.
Some resources are already fully open online, in all sense of the words. The recent publication of transcribed data from The Text Creation Partnership on early English language texts is a great example.
But many mass digitisation datasets are not quite as open, meaning they cannot be used in for text and data mining.
