"Text Analysis and the Dynamic Edition? A Working Paper, Briefly Articulating Some Concerns with an Algorithmic Approach to the Electronic Scholarly Edition." Ray Siemens, with the TAPoR Community. Text Technology. Volume 14 issue 1. 2005. pg. 91-98

In this article, Siemens talks about the rise of text analysis. In the 1990???s text analysis and text analysis computing tools (TACT) were becoming popular. However, these highly-encoded electronic texts did not offer text analysis features that meet our expectations. Concerns over the development of the electronic scholarly edition fell into four areas: meeting community needs, expectations, and expertise or familiarity levels; repurposing existing tools and developing new tools; the seamless integration of those tools with one another; and development of an interface. Among the community, hypertext was adopted quickly since it was more intuitive. Basic searching, collocation, and condording were the main tools familiar to scholars, while the other tools the community was less familiar with. Simple navigational strategies, as well as those more complex such as visualizations or the ability to work with large corpora was identified. Text analysis tools such as those found in TAPoR and TACT could be repurposed and adapted. However, new tools would also be created that will work with texts in various formats and encoded states. These tools would also need to be integrated via an interface, which would be seamless and intuitive.
