Semi-Automatic Word Normalization in Parish Records
Hříbek, David ; Zbořil, František (referee) ; Rozman, Jaroslav (advisor)
This work deals with the extension of DEMoS web application for the management of parish records by the possibility of normalization (assignment of a normalized form of writing to individual words) of names, surnames, occupations, domiciles and other types of words occurring in parish records. In the solution, a duplicate record detection process was used, which allowed sorting of the records from parish records into clusters of similar words. As a result of the clustering, it was possible to share normalized word variants within these clusters. Thus, DEMoS suggests normalized variants for words entered by users, used not only for the same words, but also for similar words. In this work, automatic testing of word clustering was proposed. In total, 640 different combinations of clustering parameters were tested for each word type. Subsequently, the best clustering parameters were selected for each word type. By normalizing words, DEMoS application significantly increases the efficiency of searching in parish records. Records are also easier to read.

Sources of Demographic Data and Comparing Them
Hemrová, Martina ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Fiala, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to describe sources of demographic data and to compare them through selected criteria and indicators. The contribution is to facilitate orientation in the various databases, particularly for students of demographic specializations as well as others who need to search data. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part is theoretical and it deals with description of selected demographic databases, as well as description of the entities that collect demographic data and provide outputs from them. The second part is analytical and its content is comparing selected indicators from various data sources and databases through selected evaluation criteria. The third part contains a summary and conclusion.
