I have applied free Question Answering tools (Aranea) to the domain of Irish texts nabbed from CELT. I am also applying my Formalize tool to create a knowledge base of factual information about Irish history.
I will also be applying Cross Document Entity Resolution, which will enable us to track individual people across multiple texts, and hopefully reconstruct their histories.
