CLARINO+ Optimization of Wittgenstein Research Tools

Abstract

The Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen (WAB) offer specialized tools for research access to its Wittgenstein resources which however are in need for an upgrade to better serve user requirements. The paper discusses this need along some selected exemplary features of two such tools: Interactive Dynamic Presentation (IDP) of Wittgenstein’s philosophical Nachlass and Semantic Faceted Search and Browsing (SFB) of Wittgenstein metadata. The tasks of extending and better adapting these two tools to user requirements shall be carried out within the Norwegian CLARINO+ project.
