Description

Suggestions from our friends at the University Library for potential I-analyzer corpora based on publicly available datasets.

- [x] (**Nederland**) DBNL -> #1051
- [ ] (**België**) [Belgica Press](https://www.kbr.be/nl/belgica-press/) (1831-1950). *Comment: from what I can tell, this is a search interface without an API or an option to download source files. If downloading the data is possible, it is certainly not encouraged.*
- [ ] (**Frankrijk**) Gallica -> #1089
- [ ] (**VS**) Chronicling America : [Historic American Newspapers](https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/) of the Library of Congress. *Comment: very accessible. See [bulk data](https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/about/api/#bulk-data). The JSON batch endpoint they mention works great. Metadata is limited but clearly encoded.*
- [ ] (**Italië/Italiaans**) [Italiaans-Canadese kranten](https://vitacollections.ca/yul-italiancanadiannewspapers/search) *Comment: site not available.*
- [ ] (**Duitsland**) [Deutsches Zeitungsportal](https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/newspaper/select/title): [Fragen & Antworten - Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de)](https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/content/newspaper/fragen-antworten). *Comment: the [DDB API specification](https://labs.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/app/ddbapi/) looks promising.*
- [ ] (**Duitsland**) [Lebendiges Museum Online](https://www.dhm.de/lemo/bestand/) over de Duitse geschiedenis sinds de Vormaerz met teksthoofdstukken, video’s, foto’s van objecten, berichten van ooggetuigen etc. Voor zover ik weet is er helaas geen OCR, maar misschien is de verzameling trotzdem interessant. *Comment: given the nature of the data, focus on other datasets for now.*
- [ ] (**Spanje**) [Biblioteca virtual Miguel de Cervantes](https://www.cervantesvirtual.com/) -> als Gallica, met vele gedigitaliseerde kranten. Specifieke namen van gedigitaliseerde kranten volgen nog. *Comment: provides [linked data access](https://data.cervantesvirtual.com/datos-enlazados).*
- [ ] (Eventueel:) **Surinaams / Indonesisch** nieuws uit Delpher apart opnemen?
- Surinaams nieuws -> Delpher: filteren op verspreidingsgebied ‘Suriname‘
- Indonesisch nieuws  Delpher: filteren op verspreidingsgebied ‘Nederlands-Indië / Indonesië’
- *Comment: we have those filters on I-analyzer too, so this seems low priority? If it's really useful, we could create a filtered index through kibana.*
- [ ] (**Australië**) [Gedigitaliseerde kranten en tijdschriften](https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/) van de [National Library of Australia](https://www.nla.gov.au/research-guides/australian-newspapers) *Comment: has an API with bulk download up to 1.000.000 documents. Terms of service for the API look fine.*
- [ ] (**Zuid-Amerika**) [Latin American Network Information Center – LANIC met specifiek:](http://lanic.utexas.edu/)
- [newspapers & news](http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/region/news/) (Latin America + Spanish-language newspapers in the continental US.) *Comment: This seems to just be a list of newspapers that were active in 2015, with a link to each paper's own website.*

### Rechten / Geschiedenis:

- [ ] Archieven van het [International Criminal Tribunal of the Former Yugoslavia](https://www.icty.org/en/cases) (Joegoslavië/Rwanda/Bosnië)
- [ ] Archieven van het [International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda](https://unictr.irmct.org/en/cases)
- [ ] [International Court of Justice](https://www.icj-cij.org/home)? EU / UN?
- [ ] De [HUDOC database](https://www.echr.coe.int/Pages/home.aspx?p=caselaw/HUDOC&c=) of the [European Court of Human Rights](https://www.echr.coe.int/Pages/home.aspx?p=home&c=)
- provides access to the case-law of the Court (Grand Chamber, Chamber and Committee judgements and decisions*, communicated cases, advisory opinions and legal summaries from the Case-Law Information Note), the European Commission of Human Rights (decisions and reports) and the Committee of Ministers (resolutions)
- O.a. toegang tot de online [Reports of Cases](https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/P_106308/en/) van de [Court of Justice of the European Union](https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/j_6/en/)
