MPIWG-MPDL Content Project

This is the wiki for the XML Workflow Service subproject within the cooperative project between the MPIWG and MPDL​. The other subproject is the ​Software Development Project. Please check also the ​project page on the MPIWG homepage.

The project could be continued from 2012-2015 with support of the European Union financed project ​DM2E and by the BMBF project ​Textgrid. DM2E allowed the continuation on the work of the online ​workflow tool and TextGrid? the work on the Standards for transcriptions.

DM2E also helped to create a new extension of ​pundit. The MPIWG text tools can now be used to annotate texts on a web page with linguistic terms. |More can be find here.

Main achievements of this subproject are

• The Data Entry Specifications, i.e. the rules for transcribing European and Chinese texts
• The Schema for the XML versions of the transcriptions
• The Workflow for transforming raw transcriptions into valid XML texts
• 120 ​XML texts

Manuscripts

Scholars have also begun to encode text themselves by directly typing XML. The first project to do so is the Harriot project. For this purpose, there are also guidelines how to start with writing documents in XML as well as a Manual for installing a working environment.
