Open Annotation Collaboration. Encoding an On-Line Electronic Scholarly Edition and Implementing an XML Prototype. The project aimed to program an on-line scholarly edition and implement an XML prototype meeting MLA’s guidelines for the electronic scholarly edition, and presenting full-text versions of all renditions to show evolution of a text to final states and devolution to original states. The first stage was to prepare a scholarly edition of William Wells Brown’s novel Clotel which provides the full text of all extant versions (those of 1853, 1860, 1864, and 1867) with explanatory annotation, textual-variant notes, and a scholarly apparatus. The second stage was to identify and develop software programs which will make this body of text operate on-line as a fully-functional electronic scholarly edition (an ESE). The project has made readily available in scholarly form a novel of considerable significance. Further research questions are arising from the opportunities offered by the particular text chosen to edit as an ESE.

Funding sources: Content types created: Source material used: Approach « TEXTvre. TEXTvre will provide an environment in which various tools can be integrated to support researchers in their work. This page lists potential tools that we have identified as candidates for evaluation. If you have any suggestions, please contribute. Rather than focusing on particular tools, we have started by considering categories of tool to support particular needs, and then we list a number of different tools in each category. Connections between tools may be easier to make when we focus on a particular research area(s). XML editing TextGrid XML editor Oxygen ( ). JITR ( ).

Querying and retrieval A key challenge here will be to find a tool that recognises the differing structures in humanities texts while recognising the different kinds of information retrieval needs that might be applied to these structures. What does TextGrid curently use for this? Ereuna ( ). Link/pointer editor Others. TextGrid. Centrum voor Teksteditie en Bronnenstudie - TEI by example. In zowat alle projecten die digitaal worden opgevat, maakt het CTB gebruik van een codering die gebaseerd is op de Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange van het TEI Consortium.

Het Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) levert met die 'Guidelines' immers de bouwstenen voor een codeerschema dat internationaal wordt beschouwd als de meest complete en betrouwbare manier om diverse bronnen van zgn. 'markup' te voorzien. Die manier om bronnen digitaal te 'verrijken' maakt allerlei soorten onderzoek binnen de humane wetenschappen mogelijk. Omdat het erg veel belang hecht aan de verspreiding en het gebruik van de TEI Guidelines, ontwikkelde het CTB een zgn. 'tutorial' voor onderzoekers die zich de richtlijnen van het TEI zelf willen aanleren.

Het werkte daarvoor samen met het Department of Digital Humanities van King's College London en het Department of Information Studies van University College London. Meer informatie?
