The Bible is cut into chunks (fixed word windows, or sentences, half-verses, verses, chapters); every pair is scored either by SET similarity (Jaccard overlap of lexeme sets, ignoring order) or by LCS/Levenshtein similarity… 3. **[Syntactic Variation in Masoretic Hebrew: The Object Clause Reconsidered](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/hbo-2017-naaijer-syntactic-variation-masoretic-hebrew-object/)** *(2016)* The full text is not in the library; this card rests on the publisher's abstract, so the ideas are provisional. 4. **[The Hebrew Bible as Data: Laboratory – Sharing – Experiences](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/hbo-2015-roorda-hebrew-bible-data-laboratory-sharing/)** *(2015)* A history-and-practice report on how the ETCBC (formerly WIVU) text database of the Hebrew Bible was opened up. 5. **[LAF-Fabric: a data analysis tool for Linguistic Annotation Framework with an application to the Hebrew Bible](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/hbo-2014-roorda-laf-fabric-data-analysis-tool/)** *(2014)* The paper traces the ETCBC (formerly WIVU) Hebrew Bible database from the 1970s to its conversion into ISO LAF stand-off annotation (the SHEBANQ project), and presents LAF-Fabric, a Python tool that loads the whole annotated Bible into memory for fast feature queries (a precursor of Text-Fabric). 6. **[Annotation as a New Paradigm in Research Archiving](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/langstream-2014-roorda-annotation-new-paradigm-research-archiving/)** *(2014)* The paper argues that the results of digital scholarship (query results, feature values, topic assignments) should be kept as annotations, and that these annotations should be portable, so that they still make sense after the software that made them has changed. ## Co-authors (4) - [Martijn Naaijer](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/martijn-naaijer/) ×3 - Andreas van Cranenburgh - Charles van den Heuvel - Gino Kalkman - [← previous Dima Taji](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/dima-taji/) - [next → Diyi Yang](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/diyi-yang/) - [↑ back to Authors](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/)
