  • Why did your group choose the (type of) data/texts that you did? 
Our group chose Hyms and Humms of Denmark because it was one of the first and most popular topics we came across. In addition, it appeared to have a variety of subtopics that were search-able.
  • What parts of the tool did you use? 
Our group primarily focused on the word tree tool. It was visually interesting and was really cool being able to track entire topics and themes into specific words and sentences.
  • What did you find out about these texts? 
The text was definitely a historical piece of literature. It was slightly difficult to understand its main ideas as the language used was difficult to understand but it appeared to be about old poetry and writings of Danish history.
  • Which elements of the tools produced the deepest kinds of analysis (i.e. which were the most useful)? 
The deepest analysis was possible through the searching of the most frequently used words in the word tree and tracking their progression throughout the text and following sub topics and sentences.
  • Provide a brief description of what you plan to do for your Text Analysis and Data Visualization Exercise
As of right now I'm not entirely sure what my plans are for my text and data excersise but I think a well known piece of poetry or short story would be something that would be neat to explore.
