Subject: [Corpora-List] string frequency reports for Project Gutenberg texts

Hello all,

I have created string frequency

reports for 5400+ books (400M words)

from Project Gutenberg:

they are searchable here:

the process is described briefly here with links to

all the src in CVS:

I am looking for help in improving

these graphs of string frequency histograms across the archive

when they are rendered in SVG:

I merged some of the results into an SVG:

(its worth the plugin hassle)

I also extended the DAML ontology for PG presented here:

and created RDF metadata for the archive here:

the meta data is loaded into a specialty rdf backend called

Parka. this example query shows how to get RF values for an

author's use of certain strings:

Comments, and criticisms are very appreciated,

(I know the png graphs arent labeled well, all will get fixed

in the SVG s.)
