Hi Chad,

I am still working on setting up my computer in Hoskins.

First thing will be to install Gephi,

Then install an OCR / text extraction tool to pull out names and convert to a spreadsheet from these docs.

There is also a tool that will pull out proper names from uploaded text โ€“ if you want to go that route. Kind of data mining.

The problem is it wonโ€™t distinguish between a proper name in a cited paper (from letโ€™s imagine, someone who died already but is nonetheless influential like charles darwin).

We should talk about how to contact vieglass on getting the registered users from docs.dataone.org.
