The Son of Suda On Line

A next generation collaborative editing tool


Overview

• Collaborative Editing

• Suda On Line

• Integrating Digital Papyrology

• Son of Suda On Line


Collaborative Editing

• Many people working on the same document at the same time– Wikis– Google Docs

• XML?

Issues: version control, conflicts, editorial control


Suda On Line

• Suda: 10th century Byzantine Greek historical encyclopedia of the ancient Mediterranean World

• Suda On Line: Online collaborative annotated translation of the Suda


Cascading Feature Set

• Guests: search, view, read logs• Translators: create translations, implement

links to external sources• Editors: modify entries, assign status• Managing Editors: approve registrations, see

status of entries, review progress

Collaboration with complete editorial control (see example)


Integrating Digital Papyrology

• DDbDP: Transcriptions and metadata in SGML

• HGV: Metadata in Filemaker Pro

• HGV: Translations in custom XML

• APIS: Translations from database

Poster from 2007 TEI Member’s Meeting


SoSOL

• Functionality of SOL for editing papyrology

• Give control of the data to the papyrological community - scholarly forum

• Opening up the “black box”• Scholarly credit for contributions• Open, transparent editorial control


SoSOL Design

• Hierarchical design and cascading capability set

• ‘Sandbox’ for submitted texts/translations

• Three layers– XML editor (tagless and XML views)– Version control manager (Subversion)– Workflow manager (from ingest through

publication


Cascading capability set

• Registered Users– Make suggestions and comments, publish

individual new papyri, generate reports

• Editorial Board– Vet readings and translations, assign

status, promote for publication

• Super-Editors– Add new texts without public vetting,

review progress, general oversight


Sandbox

• Holds submitted texts and translations during vetting process

• As conceived: individual branches, not a single branch

• Viewable, not editable, by other users

• Editorial board has final say & control of committing to main


XML Editor

• Browser-based - extend XHTML editor

• Incorporate existing EpiDoc tooling– Leiden Conventions EpiDoc– Handle font encoding differences– Add translations or metadata to existing

texts or texts to existing translations or metadata

• EpiDoc friendly, schema agnostic


Version control manager

• Abstraction layer: – Hide technical details from users– Editing not dependent on underlying VCS– Enforce fine-grained editorial control

• Multiple branches, controlled merging


Workflow Manager

• From ingest through publication

• Ingest– Individual texts or batch import– Import multiple formats

• Peer-review process

• Final approval and publication


Beyond IDP2

• A tool built for one project only is of limited use

• Importance of extensibility– Organization of texts– Editorial hierarchy and responsibilities– Additional functionality (image mapping)

• Homer Multitext• Carolingian Canon Law
