Presentation

Being just the tip of the iceberg in terms

  • f the primary goal “scholarly edition”,

the online presentation tries to add value by incorporating mashups and social networks.

Transformation and Interchange

eXist and queried, transformed and served from there. Images are delivered via a Digilib server while simple Linked Data connections are facilitated through PND Beacon.

The Fundament

Every primary text (letter, diary, writing etc.) as well as every secondary text (commentary, prosopography etc.) is encoded by hand and stored as a

Workflow

  • 1. askSam2MEI

1.1 export as rtf(!) 1.2 convert to XML via OxGarage 1.3 transform to MEI and itemize sources

  • 2. normalize data
  • 3. normalize terms and create taxonomies
