Archaeological entities and timespans extracted from all archaeology documents available in DANS EASY in 2017

<p>We trained a BERT language model for Dutch Archaeology, and fine-tuned it to perform Named Entity Recognition for 6 categories of entity: artefacts, materials, time periods, places, contexts and species. </p><p>For each document, we extracted all entities, and translated time periods to year ranges. All this information is stored - together with DANS metadata such as author, title, etc - in a JSON file for each document.</p><p>This is research output of the PhD research by Alex Brandsen, for the AGNES search engine project.</p>
