“When a library can both support basic digital scholarship needs through distributed services and create a critical mass of staffing and intellectual energy in something like a center (however conceived), it has set the conditions for the advancement of knowledge itself, through the fulfillment of research desires yet unknown, un-expressed.”
(Nowviskie 2014)

goals
End goal:
integration of OCR in digitisation workflow at KU Leuven
integration of NER in digitisation workflow at KU Leuven
Specifically:
learn from digitising textual material with a view to OCR (rather than as a representation of the book as physical object)
understand OCR possibilities
learn how to enrich textual material with NER
develop workflows, identify infrastructure problems, etc.
KU Leuven & succeed
