Corpus Grid

Thu, 11/18/2010 - 15:32 — CoreySlavnik
 Corpus Grid shows an overview of the corpus, including each document's title, number of word tokens (total words), number or word types (unique words), and lexical density (the ratio of tokens to types).

Getting Started

When you first arrive to the Corpus Grid tool you will see one of two possible screens:

Corpus Grid without a pre-loaded corpus. See loading texts into Voyeur for help on how to proceed.

Corpus Grid with a pre-loaded corpus. You were probably given a URLA URL (Uniform Resource Locator), sometimes called a web address, is used to locate and identify web content. For more information, see the Wikipedia. Return to Glossary. that included the corpus, or you're viewing a page that has an embedded Voyeur tool in it. If you prefer, you can also start without a corpus.

Interface Elements

Corpus Grid includes the standard set of interface elements (see image to the right). For more help with these see the Voyeur Tools Standard Interface Elements page.

Standard UI Elements

Once the analysis is complete, a grid will appear with information pertaining to all of the documents within the corpus. If you click on the column headers, you will find sorting information.

If you click on 'Group By This Field' when clicking on the column header, it will change the layout of the grid and thus sort by that field.

Exporting

Like all Voyeur tools, Corpus Grid can be reused in a variety of ways:

  • create a link that is specific to the corpus and options that are currently being used
  • embed the current corpus and options as a tool in an external page
