IMP Slovene Digital Library
----------------------------

The digital library contains over 650 units (books, newspapers and
some manuscripts) from the end of the 16th century to 1918 with the
majority from 1850 onwards. The identifiers of the documents mark
their origin: 

WIKI: The largest part of the library, comprising books, newspaper
articles and installments, as well as some manuscripts from the
Wikisource project ‘Slovene literary classics’, containing literature
by Slovene authors (1776-1918);

FPG: the AHLib collection of books translated into Slovene from German
(1848–1918); 

NUK: older books (1750-1820) and selected issues of one newspaper
(1850-1900) prepared in the scope of the EU IMPACT project by the
National and University Library of Slovenia (NUK); 

ZRC: small samples of three religious texts (1584, 1695, 1784)
prepared by the Scientific Research Center of the Slovene Academy of
Sicences and Arts.

The HistCorp files
-------------------
On the HistCorp page, the Slovene texts from the Digital Library are
provided in a plain text format ('txt'), a tokenised format ('tok'), a
linguistically annotated format ('anno'), where the latter also
includes (automatic) spelling normalisation.

For the plain text files and the tokenised files, the original corpus
was divided into one file for each text in the corpus, and only the
first column (the word form column) was extracted to each
file. Furthermore, metadata were added in a TEI-compatible format at
the top of each file. The metadata information was partly extracted
from the metadata stated in the original corpus file, and partly from
information in the adhering readme files and from the corpus website
(http://nl.ijs.si/imp/index-en.html). In addition, the number of
tokens for each file has been calculated based on the tokenised
version of the file.

The linguistically annotated files ('anno') are basically unchanged
from the original corpus, except that the corpus was divided into one
text for each file, and that the metadata headers were replaced by
metadata in the HistCorp format. The distributors point out that the
annotation, including spelling normalisation, was performed
automatically, using noSketch Engine.
