This resource is supposed to solve the problem of how to read a folklore corpus with both the possibility of a "distant reading" and a "close reading." In a handout accompanying the lecture he outlines some questions this resource is supposed to ask/answer. They are as follows. "How does one define the research domain? How does one manage the research collection? How does on discover meaningful patterns in the material? And how can one analyze individual expressions in the context of that broader viewer?"
