About Shiny DraCor
Purpose
This web app provides simple means to analyse co-occurrence networks of plays. It builds on the DraCor API and enables access to network data from more than 3,000 plays in more than a dozen corpora. For an overview see the DraCor frontpage. All corpora are encoded in TEI, an XML-based markup language that makes it easy to extract structural information.
Credits
The app was built by Ivan Pozdniakov in R and is presented using the web application framework Shiny.
