Algorithmic Documentation

File:Algodoc.webm

"Algorithmic Documentation" was a term that triggered my imagination. Will it be possible to create (more) 'objective' documentation using computers? What could this look like? What can one document at all?

This first semester I do my first (quick) attempt at an algorithm for documenting a project. I use RAKE (Rapid Automatic Keyword Extraction) in python to extract strings from different versions of a text. Using this method I try to see which (important) sentences have changed, been added etc. Next, I tried to visualise these changes using HTML, CSS, SVG and Javascript.

For this demo I applied the script on the scenario of Waterdagen. My graduation project of the Utrecht School of the Arts.

This should not be seen as a final product, rather as a first experiment in anticipation of the documentation projects of the third semester.
