Abstract

This paper describes the development and use of an interface for visually evaluating distance measures. The combination of multidimensional scaling plots, histograms and tables allows for different stages of overview and detail. The interdisciplinary project Rule-based search in text databases with nonstandard orthography develops a fuzzy full text search engine and uses distance measures for historical text document retrieval. This engine should provide easier text access for experts as well as interested amateurs.
