Wittgenstein's Nachlass
Max Hadersbeck, Alois Pichler, Florian Fink, Øyvind Liland Gjesdal · 2014
In the current paper, we present the web-based finder front-end WiTTFind, together with the Wittgenstein Advanced Search Tools (WAST), which offer new possibilities for exploring and researching Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy and work. Unlike the search capabilities of Google books and the Open Library project, our tools are rule-based together with local grammar search technology and TEI-P5 XML version of Wittgenstein's Nachlass, in combination with an electronic lexicon and various computational tools to enable lemmatized, semantic and syntactic queries to the texts. The query results are displayed in a web browser as HTML transformations of the transcribed texts, together with a facsimile of the matching segment in the original.
