Abstract
We present in this demonstration paper the actual text technology
infrastructure we have been establishing for annotating with linguistic and
domain-specific information the personalized death a corpus of baroque
texts (in German) belonging to the genre "Danse Macabre". While the
developed and assembled tools are already covering the automatic treatment of
various lexical aspects of such texts, and are also supporting the manual
annotation of the corpus with concepts related to the personalized death, we are
currently extending our work with the integration of methods and tools for
automating the annotation procedure. The goal of our project is to offer the
philologist, historian or the interested public an improved access to this kind of
corpora, allowing for example for topic based queries and navigation.
