20.500.12556/RUL-180816 Carniolan Provincial Assembly corpus improvements and enhancements Historical parliamentary corpora offer crucial evidence for studying political discourse over time, yet their usability is often limited by poor OCR quality and incomplete metadata. This paper presents the enhancement of the Kranjska 1.0 corpus, a collection of Carniolan Provincial Assembly proceedings (1861–1913) in Slovenian and German, through a two-phase process aimed at improving textual accuracy and enriching speaker metadata. First, we conducted a manual correction campaign on a representative sample of transcripts, involving trained historians proficient in Gothic script and 19th-century politics. The corrections addressed both structural and textual errors in TEI-encoded XML files, providing a gold-standard dataset for future model training. Error analysis revealed recurring OCR issues, including segmentation problems, misattributed speakers, and systematic character-level noise. Second, we harmonised and expanded speaker metadata using multiple historical sources to unify name variants, resolve ambiguities, and document parliamentary terms, factions, and attendance. The resulting metadata enhance corpus usability and interpretability. This work lays the foundation for the next project phase, which explores the automatic correction of transcripts and metadata using Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). By combining historical expertise with computational methods, we contribute to more accurate processing of historical texts and promote transparency and reusability in digital humanities research. historical parliamentary proceedings OCR correction error analysis metadata enrichment zgodovinski parlamentarni zapisniki popravki napak OCR analiza napak obogatitev metapodatkov true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Drugo 2026-03-17 12:19:34 2026-03-17 12:19:35 2026-03-20 03:39:16 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 1-10 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 004.89:328(497.12)”1861/1913” 2704-1441 10.5617/dhnbpub.13202 271706883 271613699 RAZ_Pretnar_Zagar_Ajda_2026.pdf RAZ_Pretnar_Zagar_Ajda_2026.pdf 1 51E40C830BDCD61D747CB03EB2DF8E00 3b3e363bcc8eae78b462eadbf655dc7138a4f5b33c90f8836cb9c49c836112c8 1f1b0969-21f4-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=230679 https://journals.uio.no/dhnbpub/article/view/13202 1 20301777-21f3-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=230677 Fakulteta za računalništvo in informatiko Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
