Abstract

Historical ecology research relies on historical accounts of
human-animal interactions to study this interaction through space and
time. Newspaper archives are a rich source of information, but require
careful querying and filtering to collect the relevant information. Traditionally,
this is a laborious manual task. In this position paper, we
describe our ongoing work on semantically enriching a newspaper collection
to create a knowledge base to support historical ecological work.
