The proposed application integrates two points of view: the semantic information for demographic research, and the ground-truthing for document analysis research. Concretely, the application has the contents view, where the information is recorded into forms, and the labeling view, with the word labels for evaluating document analysis techniques. The crowdsourcing architecture allows to accelerate the information extraction (many users can work simultaneously), validate the information, and easily provide feedback to the users. We finally show how the proposed application can be extended to other kind of demographic historical manuscripts.", optnote="DAG; 600.061; 602.006; 600.077", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=2516), last updated on Mon, 21 Jan 2019 14:10:31 +0100", isbn="978-1-4503-2588-2", doi="10.1145/2595188.2595199", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/FLM2014.pdf:PDF" }
