Digital Edition

Project lead: Martin-Dietrich Glessgen

Aimed at editing Old French charters of the 13th century

Charters are manually transcribed into a machine-readable format

Double encoding principle:

a) Original (ancient) view

b) Modern view Use the same data for print and online editions

Importing Texts



14/27


Machine-Readable Format: XML/XSD

Phoenix2 builds upon texts encoded in an idiosyncratic XML format. We

use three schemata:

entry: Lightweight markup aimed at facilitating the initialtranscription of charters (original format). Either tokenized oruntokenized.

storage: Main format for use within Phoenix2. Thoroughly tokenized;all Tokens are typed (tok/num/punct).

edit: Similar to storage, but slightly adapted for use in externalXML editors.

Extra attributes for word-level annotations Checksums for re-import into Phoenix2 (check-in)

Indexing Texts in a Relational Database

Why does importing texts take quite a while?

Texts are indexed into a relational database

We use a relational MySQL database. This allows for

Fast querying Linking additional entities to texts without including them in the XML

Storing system data (user accounts, settings, ...)

Regular Expressions

Queries in Phoenix2 can be formulated using Regular Expressions.

abbe finds all words that contain the string abbe abbe, abbes, ...

^pou?r$ finds por and pour.

[aeiou]{3} finds words that contain three consecutive vowels ...

Phoenix2 A Tool for Web-Based Annotation of Medieval Texts

Conclusion


24/27


Conclusion

Phoenix2 is an implementation based on the most recent

computational and philological standards.

It is aimed at

Transperancy of all data and source codes (i.e., well-documented opensource technology)

Connectivity through well-defined interfaces Persistance of all data and interfaces

Usability for both experts and novices

We pursue the stringent and uncompromising synthesis of philology,linguistics, and information technology based on a long-term, intensivecooperation between computational linguistics and special branches ofacademic knowledge.
