  The Minho Quotation Resource was originally released in 2012. It provided
approximately 500,000 quotes from business leaders, analysts and politicians
that spanned the period from 2008 to 2012. The original resource had several
failings which include a large number of missing job titles and affiliations as
well as unnormalised job titles which produced a large variation in spellings
and formats of the same employment position. Also, there were numerous
duplicate posts. This update has standardised the job title text as well as the
imputation of missing job titles and affiliations. Duplicate quotes have been
deleted. This update also provides some metaphor and simile extraction as well
as an emotion distribution of the quotes. This update has also replaced an
antiquated version of Lucene index with a JSONL format as well as a rudimentary
interface that can query the data supplied with the resource. It is hoped that
this update will encourage the study of business communication in a time of a
financial crisis.
