Metadata Offer New Knowledge (MONK)

MONK is a digital environment designed to help humanities scholars discover and analyze patterns in the texts they study.

Over the last decade, many millions of dollars have been invested in creating digital library collections: at this point, terabytes of full-text humanities resources are publicly available on the web. Those collections, dispersed across many different institutions (not only libraries but also publishers) are large enough and rich enough to provide an excellent opportunity for text-mining, and we believe that web-based text-mining tools will make those collections significantly more useful, more informative, and more rewarding for research and teaching.
