Slide script:

1) Why were you interested in data in the first place? This can help you find a solution you like and clarify why the data is important (if it's important to you for some reason, it will be for others, too). text, knowledge, history

2) Who is your audience?

      - The general public who are interested in EB*, but they might find out it's a bit overwhelming 
         to see all those massive amounts of words and contexts.

Do you know enough about them?

     -  Us

2-1) Would they be appealed by your solution?

     -  We focused on numerical statistics on different topics in the edition as well as the changes 
         among them, and also provide an interactive way to involve the audience to explore

3) What is your overall take-home message?

    -  Topics changes and the development and uniqueness of each edition.
        and provide some accessible visual way to attract people and awake their curiosity

4) What are the findings and facts you want to present to them?

    - OCR words,

5) what do they need to know (about the data or analysis) to understand your points? 

  -  the original dataset is quite messy and uncleaned, due to that issue, the final statistic is just 
      the closest approximation.

6) What is your data holders' main question? Can your solution answer it?

     - Sarah, see Google doc

Can we find patterns in the representation of knowledge over time: how did the focus and structure of the encyclopaedia change;

how did topics change and develop over time; what was considered important?

What text analysis tools lend themselves to this data? Can named entity recognition be carried out?

What isn’t represented? Is it possible to trace these gaps – and to demonstrate which voices, topics, regions were missing from the Encyclopaedia?

Do the illustrations in the Encyclopaedias offer opportunities for analysis? What topics were selected to be illustrated and do these align with the amount of space dedicated to their description?

     - Using referenced (See x), as a proxy for topic popularity

6) How will your work be displayed to the audience?
