The Story Navigator in Practice: Analysis of the Dataset “Corona in de Stad”

The Story Navigator is a computational tool that supports researcher when analyzing texts. The tool gives the researcher information to easily identify 5 main elements: who is important, what is he/she/it doing, how do the actions happen, with what purpose and where and when does the story take place. With the help of BDSi data scientists, a number of requirements are implemented to contribute to the quality of the analysis: splitting into main and subordinate clauses, identifying words that refer to the same person or object across the story and taking negations into account.
