Introduction A few years ago Library Archives Canada, Ian Milligan and I collected tweets from the 42nd Canadian Federal Election. Ian and wrote up a case study in Code4Lib Journal that took a look at the collection process, exploration of the dataset, and some context.
This past fall, the 43rd Canadian Federal Election occurred, and we collected tweets again. Instead of writing up the entire process for a journal publication again, I figured I’d revisit some of the methods we used last time to have a look at the dataset, and share some new methods I’ve picked up since then.
