TextGrid: Introduction and Overview[edit]

  • Presentation of the TextGrid beta version
  • TextGrid is the first German grid compution project for the eHumanities
  • Goal of the project:
    • to develop a virtual research infrastructure (based on distributed resources)
    • to develop generic grid services, which can also be used by other grid projects
  • The basis is to modulate a service orientated infrastructure (SOA) with user interfaces and the usage of standards when ever that's possible.

    Different tools are available:
  1. Workflow Editor
  2. XML Editor
for the creation of transcriptions based on different schemes (e.g. TEI)
