The aim of this project is to extract entities (people, instutions) and their relationships from the 1808 Venetian Sommarioni, the registry accompanying the 1808 Napoleonian cadaster.
At the moment, all 23'000 entries have been classified in categories based on their content and extraction requirements.
This repository is the result of a bachelor semester project at the DHLAB EPFL in the spring 2022.
