The goal of rdracor is to provide an R interface for the DraCor API (DraCor: Drama Corpora Project). Website of the project: dracor.org.
Installation from CRAN:
install.packages("rdracor")
If you wish to install the current build of the next release you can do so using the following:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("dracor-org/rdracor")
library(rdracor)
DraCor API has several versions. By default, it utilizes the main branch:
get_dracor_api_url()
#> [1] "https://dracor.org/api/v1"
You can set DraCor URL API of your choice:
set_dracor_api_url("https://staging.dracor.org/api/v1")
Retrieving general information about available corpora:
<- get_dracor_meta()
corpora summary(corpora)
#> DraCor hosts 17 corpora comprising 3184 plays.
#>
#> The last updated corpus was German Drama Corpus (2024-04-03 10:50:28).
plot(corpora)
<- get_dracor(corpus = "ger")
ger summary(ger)
#> 697 plays in German Drama Corpus
#> Corpus id: ger, repository: https://github.com/dracor-org/gerdracor
#> Description: Edited by Frank Fischer and Peer Trilcke. Features more than 600 German-language plays from the 1540s to the 1940s. For a corpus description and full credits please see the [README on GitHub](https://github.com/dracor-org/gerdracor).
#> Written years (range): 1549–1947
#> Premiere years (range): 1515–1981
#> Years of the first printing (range): 1517–1962
You can get all corpora at once:
<- get_dracor()
all summary(all)
#> 3184 plays in 17 corpora:
#> Corpora id:
#> fre (1560 plays), ger (697 plays), rus (212 plays), cal (205 plays), ita (139 plays), swe (68 plays), hun (41 plays), greek (40 plays), u (40 plays), gersh (38 plays), shake (37 plays), rom (36 plays), als (30 plays), span (25 plays), pol (10 plays), bash (3 plays), tat (3 plays)
#> Written years (range): 43–1970
#> Premiere years (range): -472–1999
#> Years of the first printing (range): 1170–2017
With get_play_metadata()
you can get miscellaneous data
for a play:
get_play_metadata(play = "lessing-emilia-galotti",
corpus = "ger",
full_metadata = FALSE) #use full_metadata = FALSE for faster download

You can extract a co-occurence network (undirected weighted graph) for a specific play:
<- get_net_cooccur_igraph(play = "lessing-emilia-galotti", corpus = "ger")
emilia plot(emilia)
You can use the package {igraph}
to work with this
object as a graph:
library(igraph)
edge_density(emilia)
#> [1] 0.3717949
cohesion(emilia)
#> [1] 1
In addition, you can get a summary with network properties and gender distribution:
summary(emilia)
#> ger: lessing-emilia-galotti - co-ocurence network summary
#> Lessing, Gotthold Ephraim: Emilia Galotti (1772)
#>
#> Size: 13 (3 FEMALES, 10 MALES, 0 UNKNOWN)
#> Density: 0.37
#> Degree:
#> - Maximum: 9 (Marinelli)
#> Distance:
#> - Maximum (Diameter): 6
#> - Average: 3.03
#> Clustering:
#> - Global: 0.54
#> - Average local: 0.67
#> Cohesion: 1
#> Assortativity: -0.45
Similarly, you can use function
get_net_relations_igraph()
to build a network based on
relationships data:
<- get_net_relations_igraph(play = "lessing-emilia-galotti",
galotti_relations corpus = "ger")
plot(galotti_relations)
summary(galotti_relations)
#> ger: lessing-emilia-galotti - relations network summary
#> Lessing, Gotthold Ephraim: Emilia Galotti (1772)
#>
#> Size: 13 (3 FEMALES, 10 MALES, 0 UNKNOWN)
#> Relations: 4
#> Odoardo ---> Emilia : parent_of
#> Claudia ---> Emilia : parent_of
#> Marinelli ---> Der Prinz : associated_with
#> Camillo Rota ---> Der Prinz : associated_with
You can get text of a play in different forms:
{xml2}
):get_text_tei(play = "lessing-emilia-galotti", corpus = "ger")
#> {xml_document}
#> <TEI id="ger000088" lang="ger" xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
