Posting 5- Summary of the articles (B)

Article 1

This article is basically about the benefits that the users could gain from concordance. Those benefits are; it could organize and manage immense volumes of litigation data and OCR text, lessen the time and cost of document review with features that import, search and organize e-mail and other electronic devices documents fastly and accurately. In addition, it could also fastly browse all types of litigation documents with power and precision where it has flexible seraching simultaneously. Other than that, it can also manage transcripts more efficiently and perform easy bulk import and export of plain text and PCF files, which retain original formatting. Last but not least, it can also produce accurately formatted, customized reports for fact review and trial preparation, including witness kits, case chronology, privilege logs, questions and answers sets, annotations, production history reports and more.

My own view
In my opinion, all those benefits that has been mentioned above could be effective and beneficial for all those individuals especially students in their learning process. It is because all the benefits are clearly stated and they are all easy to be understood by the readers.
Article 2
This article was taken from a journal. It is about some considerations concerning encoding and concoding texts. The writer inform the readers that diverse needs to be in among those who use
computers in humanities research and instruction but, it tend to have a lot of difficulties. The difficulty, of course, is that significance in one area is not necessarily significance in another. A computationally easy project may be of importance in a particular discipline and should not be assigned cavalierly to the computational hell of the "trivial." In addition, a kind of backlash in favor of computer research in the humanities are to show the largest danger--that of complacency, especially for university students where there is a substantialgroup of computing humanists. Thus, the best way for any project, as well as for this discussion of encoding and concording texts, is Wisbey's observation that it "appears sensible to adapt one's approach to the needs of a particular text, "'where it is being shown primarily by one's intimate knowledge of that text. This requires a much more flexible approach to humanistic computing than is usual. To summarize, it could be said that whatever that is in a text we want or need to encode depends in great part upon what we
wish to do. (MICHAEL J.)

My own view

As for me, based on the article, I feel that the correct and exact work in concording something, it all depends on how we organize it. If we organize in a correct manner, then it would be smooth and understandable and vice verca.
