Text+ – Language and text-based research data infrastructure
As part of the National Research Data Infrastructure, the University and State Library is extensively involved in the Text+ consortium. A research data infrastructure is being created within the framework of this DFG-funded project that takes into account the needs and concerns of voice and text data.
Creating a Digital Edition
Depending on the project requirements, a workflow is possible from text capture (OCR) of the digital copies to the creation and edition of the XML basis to realisation of the digital edition as an online presentation.
A basic format is provided for the XML files, which is based on the guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). This makes it possible to record the texts scientifically. The texts can be annotated so that they are enriched with metadata and entities are captured in them. These are then stored in a central register file, which means they are available to be accessed.
