Enhancing Access to Digital Media: The Language Application Grid in the HTRC Data Capsule

The project "Workset Creation for Scholarly Analysis and Data Capsules" is building an infrastructure where researchers have access to text processing tools that can then be used on a copyrighted set of digital data. The infrastructure is built on (1) the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) Data Capsule services that can be used to access the HathiTrust Digital Library and (2) the language processing services of the Language Application (LAPPS Grid). The main thrust of the work presented here is the integration of the LAPPS Grid workflow infrastructure with the secure data access computing environment provided by the Data Capsules.
