Introduction to CATMA 7 and GitMA (Software for Digital Text Annotation and Analysis)
January 24 @ 9:00 pm - January 25 @ 12:00 am
This workshop introduces the practice of digital text annotation with CATMA 7 (Computer Assisted Text Markup and Analysis Software) and the Python-package GitMA for further analysis, evaluation, and visualization of the annotations. CATMA is an annotation tool specifically designed for humanities research practice. The software can be used to manage multiple projects that combine documents, annotation categories, and team members. At the core of the software is the annotation area, where texts can be annotated either with predefined categories or according to heuristics developed during the research process. All annotations and comments can then be analyzed, visualized and quantitatively evaluated. RSVP to reserve lunch or for the Zoom link here. About the Presenter Svenja Guhr is a postdoctoral researcher at the fortext lab, Technical University of Darmstadt, and currently a visiting postdoctoral scholar at the Stanford Literary Lab, where she is leading a project on scene segmentation of US-American dime novels. She has an academic background in Computational Literary Studies and Multilingual Digital Humanities covering German, English, and Romance languages. Her first monograph on the operationalization and analysis of sound and loudness as narratological phenomena in 19th and early 20th century German-language fiction will be published in the Metzler book series Digital Literary Studies with Springer Nature in summer 2025.
