Summary[edit]
This project aims at developing four complementary services within the MPDL framework. The services will be prototypes, which can be further generalized within the MPDL, if there is sufficient demand for them. The four services will constitute
- a workflow for developing texts in an XML format that represent historical (printed or manuscript) sources;
- a content-based access mechanism for these texts that incorporates language technology, which will be built upon the MPDL infrastructure and will be publicly web-accessible;
- software for Virtual Exhibitions; and
- an Open GI (Geographic Information) network for the retrieval of scientifically relevant geo-information.
Responsible for the project[edit]
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Renn (MPIWG)
Status[edit]
