Subproject INF

Metaphor Base Camp: Providing the Common Data Basis and Advancing Digital Research Methods for Religious Metaphors

Within the INF project, scholars of religion, computational linguists, and computer scientists jointly establish the digital research infrastructure of the CRC. The INF project is responsible for three methodological “layers”: (1) The shared Repository, Thesaurus, and Annotation services; (2) Tools for corpus analysis and interactive visualization; (3) Inclusion of advanced computational methods as developed by other sub-projects. This infrastructure fosters a common methodological basis for all projects and enables comparative research across languages and religious traditions.
