Abstract:
This paper reports on work aimed at (a) developing an application tailored to integrate and highlight textual cultural resources that, as of yet, remain underexploited, and (b) creating the necessary infrastructure with the support and customization of Language Technologies (LT). The ultimate goal was to promote the study of cultural heritage of Greece and Bulgaria (the focus being on the neighboring areas) and to raise awareness about their common cultural identity, emphasizing on literature, folklore and language. To this end, a bilingual collection of literary and folklore texts in Greek and Bulgarian - called hereafter Greek - Bulgarian Cultural Corpus (GBCC) - was developed along with a number of accompanying resources that were extracted semi-automatically from the textual data. More precisely, we elaborate on the Greek counterpart of the textual collection and the processing applied thereof.
