Case Studies

Project #1 (2024)

A Large Language Model developer sought authoritative and licensed content in multiple languages to train their LLM.

Solution: East View presented a dozen options for repositories of content measured in the millions to billions of words and characters. Sample data for each helped the client make their decision for their immediate needs. East View delivered XML-based content that met the requirements and the end customer was satisfied.

Project #2

International think tank researching military affairs and US policy toward Russia identifies key resources for intensive text-mining project.

Solution: East View provided copyright clearance and delivery of 17 volume years of issues (from 2000-2017) of two journals published in Russia, in Russian language. Content was provided in XML format as full-text along with five XML metadata fields identifying article titles, article authors and other details. Content was transferred to the client via FTP within two weeks of order.

Project #3

Governmental office researching foreign science and technology development and foreign technology transfer as measured through academic publishing requires acquisition of a large corpus of STEM journals published in China.

Solution: East View worked with the client to understand sources available to fit the need and further define the collection parameters to best match the project requirements. Once source and selection methods were determined, East View negotiated on the client’s behalf to acquire over 800,000 selected journal articles within the most recent volume year. Content was supplied in both PDF and XML format, along with appropriate rights for the project’s research needs and client’s own local-hosting solution. East View provided an independent QC of the deliverables prior to client’s receipt as well as ongoing support to their teams working with the data throughout the project. Delivery was executed within 60 days of confirmation of the order.

Project #4

National academic consortium concerned with acquisition and preservation of at-risk materials from Eastern Europe engaged East View Information Services to acquire permission, collect, and preserve regional newspapers which were not commonly collected nor commercially microfilmed elsewhere, but represent important local perspectives on national affairs as well as news of local events largely absent in national press in the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The consortium identified more than 20 regional newspapers from Russia covering the period 1991 to the present. The titles cover cities and districts (oblasts) from all over Russia, including the Far East, Caucasus and Caspian Sea regions, and the Urals.

Solution:

  • Dedicated on-site scanning staff
  • Custom software programs for project streamlining
  • Delivery of 300 dpi color TIFF uncompressed files
