Marcel Proust
Collection
Cautionaries are simply edits to the original content for the purposes of improving the usability and clarity of the informatic design. Edits should focus on identifying the framework of the original content in its entirety, including redundant messages of cultural or legal significance. The following edits were made to the content to improve the framework:
- Words were stemmed.
- Stop Words were used.
- The Stop Word List: 'a', 'about', 'above', 'above', 'across', 'after', 'afterwards', 'again', 'against', 'all', 'almost', 'alone', 'along', 'already', 'also','although','always','am','among', 'amongst', 'amoungst', 'amount', 'an', 'and', 'another', 'any','anyhow','anyone','anything','anyway', 'anywhere', 'are', 'around', 'as', 'at', 'back','be','became', 'because','become','becomes', 'becoming', 'been', 'before', 'beforehand', 'behind', 'being', 'below', 'beside', 'besides', 'between', 'beyond', 'bill', 'both', 'bottom','but', 'by', 'call', 'can', 'cannot', 'cant', 'co', 'con', 'could', 'couldnt', 'cry', 'de', 'describe', 'detail', 'do', 'done', 'down', 'due', 'during', 'each', 'eg', 'eight', 'either', 'eleven','else', 'elsewhere', 'empty', 'enough', 'etc', 'even', 'ever', 'every', 'everyone', 'everything', 'everywhere', 'except', 'few', 'fifteen', 'fify', 'fill', 'find', 'fire', 'first', 'five', 'for', 'former', 'formerly', 'forty', 'found', 'four', 'from', 'front', 'full', 'further', 'get', 'give', 'go', 'had', 'has', 'hasnt', 'have', 'he', 'hence', 'her', 'here', 'hereafter', 'hereby', 'herein', 'hereupon', 'hers', 'herself', 'him', 'himself', 'his', 'how', 'however', 'hundred', 'ie', 'if', 'in', 'inc', 'indeed', 'interest', 'into', 'is', 'it', 'its', 'itself', 'keep', 'last', 'latter', 'latterly', 'least', 'less', 'ltd', 'made', 'many', 'may', 'me', 'meanwhile', 'might', 'mill', 'mine', 'more', 'moreover', 'most', 'mostly', 'move', 'much', 'must', 'my', 'myself', 'name', 'namely', 'neither', 'never', 'nevertheless', 'next', 'nine', 'no', 'nobody', 'none', 'noone', 'nor', 'not', 'nothing', 'now', 'nowhere', 'of', 'off', 'often', 'on', 'once', 'one', 'only', 'onto', 'or', 'other', 'others', 'otherwise', 'our', 'ours', 'ourselves', 'out', 'over', 'own','part', 'per', 'perhaps', 'please', 'put', 'rather', 're', 'same', 'see', 'seem', 'seemed', 'seeming', 'seems', 'serious', 'several', 'she', 'should', 'show', 'side', 'since', 'sincere', 'six', 'sixty', 'so', 'some', 'somehow', 'someone', 'something', 'sometime', 'sometimes', 'somewhere', 'still', 'such', 'system', 'take', 'ten', 'than', 'that', 'the', 'their', 'them', 'themselves', 'then', 'thence', 'there', 'thereafter', 'thereby', 'therefore', 'therein', 'thereupon', 'these', 'they', 'thick', 'thin', 'third', 'this', 'those', 'though', 'three', 'through', 'throughout', 'thru', 'thus', 'to', 'together', 'too', 'top', 'toward', 'towards', 'twelve', 'twenty', 'two', 'un', 'under', 'until', 'up', 'upon', 'us', 'very', 'via', 'was', 'we', 'well', 'were', 'what', 'whatever', 'when', 'whence', 'whenever', 'where', 'whereafter', 'whereas', 'whereby', 'wherein', 'whereupon', 'wherever', 'whether', 'which', 'while', 'whither', 'who', 'whoever', 'whole', 'whom', 'whose', 'why', 'will', 'with', 'within', 'without', 'would', 'yet', 'you', 'your', 'yours', 'yourself', 'yourselves', 'the'.
- The Reasoning Behind the Selection - These words are of high frequency, non-unique generality. They are simply removed to clarify the content, of a more unique terminology, during the analytic stage of modeling. There are other words that could be included or excluded, as the method of removal isn’t intended to be exact. However, the terms should be non-unique, of high frequency, and fully disclosed to users of the informatic model. That is, these terms after the analytic stage are returned to the informatic model in developing the networks, layering, directionality, and detailing of the model.
- Implications of Selection - The methodology generalizes the unstructured information, so regardless of the nuanced changes of a stop word list; which may or may not include some unique terms, or may or may not meet a particular standard asserted as ideal; the given methodology returns these words to the corpus for the informatic modelling, and the generalized form of significant associations are consistently accounted for, even if some words of significant association were treated as stop words initially. That is, there isn't a perfect stop word list, and lists will vary, but the informatic methodology manages these variations for a consistent outcome, so long as most non-unique terminology is removed.
Specific Cautionaries
The following cautionaries are more specific to the Proust - Collection:
- There were a large variety of numbers and number-letter combinations that marked news sections. All numbers, letter-number combinations not constituting words or abbreviations were removed after the analytic modeling stage. Some low-frequency of numbers meshing with words were removed as well. All combinations were removed to improve the usability and clarity of the content being modeled informatically.
- No words were removed, other than what is listed on the Stop Word list. These words were removed only for the framing and analytic stages. Words are returned during the network, layering, and detailing stages of modeling.
- Errors involving the content, such as conversion errors of words are not edited and will remain transparent to viewers of the model. The focus is on developing trust through process and procedure, not through avenues easily manipulated, such as finely-threaded performances of perfection and cosmetic appeal. Exceptions will be listed in the "specific edits" section.
- Split words that are merged back together, if any, will be listed in specific edits.
- The userability standard is used moderately. That is, terms like "ebook", or proper nouns, such as publisher names, or any other term reflective of the overall publication, will likely be included into the modeling process. The models are designed to account for terms that work in different contexts, such as publication terms, that will be presented alongside the design of the actual written work, with the ideas of the given author intact.
- This methodology is designed to manage the unstructured informational environment, of a sound and consistent overall design, that manifests from categorical arrangements that are inconsistent and imperfect, like that of a hairstyle. Even though terms, these individual hairs, will change, the overall styling, the informatic model, will remain largely the same, of a consistent arrangement of major nodes. In this way, the unstructured informational environment differs from the structured informational environment.
- To improve the readability of models non-alphanumeric symbols are likely to be removed.
