Central Concepts of the WA Corpus v2.8
(Datenstand: V1.5 vom September 2026)
This list organizes the theoretical key concepts of the WA Corpus by subject area and documents their definition, their WB volume assignment, the associated WA documents, and the introductory WP preprints.
Note: Volume 18 (ZIS spider and its applications) is new and not yet consistently included in the previous volume listings. The WP preprints (WPK, WPL) are independent Zenodo publications with their own DOI; they introduce the respective concepts comprehensively and are not to be confused with the WA documents.
