### About TORCHLITE <a href="#about-mantis" id="about-mantis"></a>

It is a next-generation Web-based, interactive visualization and analytical tool dashboard that consumes existing data from our one-of-a-kind, fully open [Extracted Features (EF) dataset](https://htrc.gitbook.io/torchlite/htrc-extracted-features), along with a well-documented API to allow our user community to develop its own tools for interacting with data from the 17.5-million-volume HathiTrust Digital Library.&#x20;

Through this hackathon, we aim to develop and promote these tools and the API. The EF dataset contains nearly 3 trillion tokens representing over 6 billion pages, making it arguably the largest open dataset of its kind readily available to digital humanities and other scholars in the world \[1[^1]].
