In addition to the necessary philological knowledge, corpus building involves several stages and technical areas that will be progressively discussed in the course: (1) Format: character coding (ASCII, ANSI, and Unicode) and data formats (structured - XML vs. unstructured, the so-called plain text ".txt"). (2) Annotations (= metadata): external vs. internal: structural-content based and linguistic. (3) Tools: preparation and data processing (integration into the corpus manager); corpus and data mining (query language, annotations). Freely available software tools will be used (freeware, GNU GPL, or Open Source projects).
