  text: "Adopting the concept of “Local Grammars” (M. Gross), which were successfully
    applied in practice by (Geierhos, 2010) to biographical information extraction
    in English our project aims to detect, encode, and finally visualize relations
    between persons. Our corpus consists of the digitised biographical lexicon “Neue
    Deutsche Biographie (NDB)”, roughly 21.000 biographies in 25 volumes in print
    since 1953. We developed local grammars and suitable dictionaries to describe
    interpersonal relations and applied them to the corpus with Unitex 3.1. The local
    grammars were designed to integrate existing TEI-XML structures in the corpus.
    Using the ability of local grammars in Unitex to act as transducers we were able
    to produce XML-Tags and encode semantic information. Based on grammars for personal
    names and places we described interpersonal relations like to study, predecessors
    and successors as well as friends and circles. Afterwards we\r\nidentified persons
    (as given in the authority file or index). Finally we displayed relations on our
    website in an interactive and dynamic way. Utilizing the Javascript library D3.js
    we represented named relations between identified individuals as ego centred network
    graphs."
