TAPAS: Building a TEI Publishing and Repository Service

A Guide to Digital Medieval Studies in North America

“…ImageMAT, as its site presentation explains, will be a web-based image annotation tool designed to facilitate and perfect online searches, information aggregation, annotation, and self-organizing knowledge of enriched multi-representational databases 98 . 81 ImageMAT is collaborating with the IIIF in its effort to develop international standards for image sharing and annotation. 82 Finally, a note on digital imaging techniques for medievalists working with damaged manuscripts.…”

Learning the TEI in a Digital Environment

“…While initiatives such as TAPAS, TEICHI, and CWRC-Writer 9 have begun to address to different aspects of these needs (Flanders and Hamlin 2013;Pape, Schöch, and Wegner 2013;Crane 2010), there has yet to be a deeply comprehensive resource intimately linked to the TEI Guidelines themselves. New technical infrastructure should support workflows that allow users to enter the genre with which they are working in a search engine connected to the TEI Guidelines (e.g., poetry), find a list of relevant tags with explanations of their functions, and from those tags find projects and files that make use of those tags; for example, a search that retrieves all TEI-conformant files using an <l> tag, and allows the user to search the projects that created these files.…”

PoetryLab as Infrastructure for the Analysis of Spanish Poetry

“…The POSTDATA Project bridges the digital gap between traditional cultural assets and the growing world of data. It is focused on poetry analysis, classification, and publication, applying Digital Humanities methods of academic analysis -such as XML-TEI encoding (Dombrowski and Denbo, 2013;Flanders and Hamlin, 2013)-in order to look for standardization, as well as innovation by using semantic web technologies (Cigarrán-Recuero et al, 2014) to link and publish literary datasets in a structured way in the linked data cloud. The advantages of making poetry available online as machine-readable linked data are threefold: first, the academic community would have an accessible digital platform to work with poetic corpora and to contribute to its enrichment with their own texts; second, this way of encoding and standardizing poetic information will be a guarantee of preservation for poems published only in old books or even transmitted orally, as texts will be digitized and stored; third: datasets and corpora will be available and open access to be used by the community for other purposes, such as education, cultural diffusion or entertainment.…”
