This article considers the author's digital project an edition of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine 's " Noctes Ambrosianae " series as a test case to explore the value of digital editions for better understanding Romantic print culture. The essay provides an overview of the project including the process of developing customized TEI typologies to capture different literary and cultural elements of the series. It argues that the process of digital editing should be considered a practice of critical making and affords deeper insights into the texts edited particularly when those texts emerge from a complex allusive print culture such as is found in Romantic periodicals.

The recent shift in the VLSI industry from conventional MOSFET to FinFET for designing contemporary chip-multiprocessor (CMP) has noticeably improved hardware platforms' computing capabilities, but at the cost of several thermal issues. Unlike the conventional MOSFET, FinFET devices experience a significant increase in circuit speed at a higher temperature, called temperature effect inversion (TEI), but higher temperature can also curtail the circuit lifetime due to self-heating effects (SHEs). These fundamental thermal properties of FinFET introduced a new challenge for scheduling time-critical tasks on FinFET-based multicores that how to exploit TEI towards improving performance while combating SHEs. In this work, TREAFET, a temperature-aware real-time scheduler, attempts to exploit the TEI feature of FinFET-based multicores in a time-critical computing paradigm. At first, the overall progress of individual tasks is monitored, tasks are allocated to the cores, and finally, a schedule is prepared. By considering the thermal profiles of the individual tasks and the current thermal status of the cores, hot tasks are assigned to the cold cores and vice-versa. Finally, the performance and temperature are balanced on-the-fly by incorporating a prudential voltage scaling towards exploiting TEI while guaranteeing the deadline and thermal safety. Moreover, TREAFET stimulates the average runtime frequency by employing an opportunistic energy-adaptive voltage spiking mechanism, in which energy saving during memory stalls at the cores is traded off during the time slice having the spiked voltage. Simulation results claim TREAFET maintains a safe and stable thermal status (peak temperature below 80 °C) and improves frequency up to 17% over the assigned value, which ensures legitimate time-critical performance for a variety of workloads while surpassing a state-of-the-art technique. The stimulated frequency in TREAFET also finishes the tasks early, thus providing opportunities to save energy by power gating the cores, and achieves a 24% energy delay product (EDP) gain on average.

This article unpacks the archival, textual, and encoded layers that comprise the Maria Edgeworth Letters Project (MELP), an open-access digital archive containing the correspondence of the Anglo-Irish Regency author Maria Edgeworth and her circle. These layers reveal the impossibility of flattening or standardizing our work and instead advocate for a more inclusive and collaborative digital humanities model that accommodates both institutional and volunteer labor. Just as different methods were used to approach each archive and manage our project across multiple institutions, each transcription requires a different level of care, especially as various notes and collaborators are cited in the final project. Through the use of TEI, we can flexibly represent diverse aspects of each letter while still maintaining a database-readable structure. We endeavor to connect each person, place, or work identified in Edgeworth 's letters and our database to a larger network of linked data in order to place our project in conversation with other archival resources. For entities that are unidentified or unknown, we create new name authority files or produce internal data files that can be viewed by our collaborators and users. MELP 's flexible structure thus allows it to strive for interoperability while refusing to efface the individual traces of its collaborators, entities, and material artifacts. Our article describes how we are building the Maria Edgeworth Letters Project , an open-access archive containing Maria Edgeworth 's correspondence, tracing our steps including image retrieval and processing, metadata generation, transcription, linked open data, and TEI encoding.

The Atti Chiari project, collecting the first large Italian corpus of judicial acts, presents strict legal requirements as well as many peculiarities in terms of language and content; to meet them, a number of processes and tools have been designed and implemented. The first issue is the requirement to remove any personal data from the documents, without however destroying their linguistic form, nor compromising their readability. To this end, a pseudonymisation procedure has been created based on a preliminary annotation stage, which adds information right in order to remove it in different ways, according to different purposes (linguistic analysis, legal analysis, etc.). At the same time, this light annotation provides data useful not only for pseudonymization, but also for the conversion of documents, from their original presentational format into a semantic one based on TEI. Once documents have been prepared in this way, they are then centralized in a corpus, ready to be indexed for linguistic research. Given the multiple search criteria that must be combined, whatever their origin and model, a new type of search engine, designed primarily in the philological field, has been used here to obtain the required openness and granularity of metadata.

This paper presents a number of resources for examining the expression of modality in the Gospels. The main resource is an XML-TEI dataset that contains the linguistic annotation of a predefined list of potentially modal markers in both Ancient Greek and Latin. When one of these markers conveys a modal meaning, each constituent of the modal passage (i.e., the marker, its scope, and the modal relation between them) is annotated with a great level of detail through several linguistic features. One of the original features of our dataset is the implementation of a cross-referencing system that enables the alignment of the potentially modal markers of both languages. To facilitate the exploitation of our data by those unfamiliar with XML technologies, we also provide summary tables with the most relevant features of the annotation. In addition, a program written in Apache Ant allows any user to generate the summary sheets and to align modal passages in both Ancient Greek and Latin with any other language available in the Multilingual Bible Parallel Corpus. This contribution presents the details of the semantic annotation and its formalization, and how our resources may be exploited within semantics and translation studies. In addition, the encoding strategies implemented are relevant for other projects dealing with the combination of multiple layers of (linguistic) annotation and/or tackling the development of parallel corpora. Explore modality in the Ancient Greek and Latin Gospels and compare their translations across nearly 100 languages through a user-friendly XML-TEI dataset. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The emergence of the field of transgenerational epigenetics inheritance (TEI) has profoundly reshaped our understanding of the relationships between environment, soma, and germ cells as well as of heredity. TEI refers to the changes in chromatin state, gene expression, and/or phenotypes that are transmitted across several generations without involving changes to the DNA sequences. TEI has direct connections with, and feeds from, the fields of molecular biology, genetics, developmental biology, and reproductive biology, among others. However, the expansion of TEI-related research, has profoundly reshaped boundaries within each field and often led to the erosion of theories and concepts considered as tenets of biology. We first explore how the molecularization of biology has shifted the definition of epigenetics to include the notion of heredity and how epigenetics has refined our understanding of the central dogma of biology. The demonstrated transfer of environmental information from soma to germ cell through extracellular vesicles and subsequent alteration of health outcomes in offspring has put a definite end to the long-held principle of the Weismann barrier. TEI has also simultaneously led to the revival of the inheritance of acquired characteristics while further eroding the concept of an epigenetic "blank slate" in mammals. Using an historical framework, and via the exploration of central studies in the field, in this perspective article, we will draw a compelling argument for the revolutionary aspect of TEI in biology.

This paper reviews the preparatory and operational stages that led to the development of the digital scientific edition of 57 musical dramas staged in the Republic of Lucca between 1636 and 1705 to celebrate an important political event. This case study prompts a reflection on the relationship between digital humanities and opera theater by providing a detailed state of the art: the increased interest in databases and the significant number of amateurs of the genre explain both the detected distance from the textual data and the poor online availability of philologically curated libretti. Instead, the present edition focuses on the content of the operas in terms of textual typologies, use of sources and characters and, in particular, political ideas. In describing the XML-TEI encoding scheme, this paper aims to show interpretive close reading can enhance the analysis of certain concepts, political in this case, through markup. Although acknowledging some limitations, such as the risk of overlapping and the lack of unambiguous IDs, the results highlight a new way of conceiving the commentary of digital editions which provides scholars with the possibility of using digital tools to annotate and visualize exegetical reading.

Este artículo analiza 107 poemas paratextuales impresos en las obras de Lope de Vega entre 1598 y 1634, compuestos por poetas cercanos al autor, con el objetivo de discernir los mecanismos de figuración autorial que se emplean. Se identifican a 75 poetas diferentes que, a través de poemas laudatorios, presentan a Lope de Vega ante los lectores, y destacan determinados rasgos socio-literarios de una forma coral. Para el desarrollo de esta investigación se ha empleado como herramienta metodológica la base de datos del proyecto PRESOLO, en la que se encuentran editados todos los poemas, y el análisis de los mismos se ha llevado a cabo a través de etiquetas codificadas en lenguaje TEI (Text Encoding Initiative). El trabajo se acompaña con un anexo en el que se identifican todos los poemas paratextuales y sus autores.

This case study presents the Dictionnaire numérique de la Ferme générale (1664-1794), a digital dictionary of the General Farm created in the course of FermeGé, which is a project accredited by the Agence nationale de la recherche in 2021, from its conceptual modelling to its Web deployment. While the dictionary initially appeared to the group of historians writing the entries to be a simple object with an organic structure, the need to make the data available in a Web environment proved to be an essential step in structuring the information. This initial point in the dialogue between historians and engineers led us to encode the structure of the records and the named entities in TEI XML to add a semantic layer to the raw text. In the same perspective, processing the bibliography and sources systematically mentioned at the end of a record enabled these elements to be indexed for later processing. This phase gradually changed the project’s approach to the dictionary. From then on, the dictionary was no longer simply an organic work, but was gradually transformed into a hybrid object backed by a relational database. The aim of this article is to analyse the contribution of digital humanities and documentary engineering to the project.

This textometric analysis, performed with the TXM software, offers a re-reading of a Franco-Ontarian play where each character is characterized by the language register he uses. The analysis of the lexicon of Michel Ouellette’s play French Town (1994) highlights the peculiarities of the language of Cindy, both in the way she tries to express herself, in her vocabulary and in her way of expressing her emotions. Thus, the “calcul des spécificités” method reveals that the three lexical units with the greatest frequency relate to the character of Cindy and their analysis shows how she manages to express her emotions although she has great difficulties to say I.

Myriad mechanisms have evolved to adapt to changing environments. Environmental stimuli alter organisms' physiology to create memories of previous environments. Whether these environmental memories can cross the generational barrier has interested scientists for centuries. The logic of passing on information from generation to generation is not well understood. When is it useful to remember ancestral conditions, and when might it be deleterious to continue to respond to a context that may no longer exist? The key might be found in understanding the environmental conditions that trigger long-lasting adaptive responses. We discuss the logic that biological systems may use to remember environmental conditions. Responses spanning different generational timescales employ different molecular machineries and may result from differences in the duration or intensity of the exposure. Understanding the molecular components of multigenerational inheritance and the logic underlying beneficial and maladaptive adaptations is fundamental to understanding how organisms acquire and transmit environmental memories across generations.

Trait emotional intelligence (Trait EI) presents the non-cognitive element of intelligence. Trait EI also enables individuals to deal with different stressors of life. Thus, understanding the relationship between personality traits and Trait EI can be beneficial. The current study explores the role of the big five personality factors in influencing Trait EI.Methods: The study included three hundred and twenty university students from a multidisciplinary Indian university. They were administered the Trait EI questionnaire-short form (TEIQue-SF) and the big five inventory (BFI-44). A cross-sectional design with non-probability sampling was used for the current study.Results: Findings of the study show that the big five have a significant relationship with global Trait EI, as the big five traits contributed to a 42.7% variance in predicting global Trait EI. Neuroticism was the foremost predictor of global Trait EI. Concerning Trait EI factors, neuroticism, and conscientiousness contributed to all except emotionality. All big five traits except agreeableness influenced well-being and sociability. Neuroticism and conscientiousness predicted self-control. However, agreeableness and extraversion predicted emotionality.Conclusion: There is a close association between personality traits and Trait EI. However, the relationship is incremental as the big five traits jointly influence the global Trait EI more than individually on the four factors. The study’s findings may enable psychologists, counselors, and other mental health professionals to develop training programs for college students to enhance emotional stability and the ability to deal with stress.Keywords: TEIQue-SF, personality, students, neuroticism, TEI

The current scene of Digital Scholarly Editions, particularly those concerning modern manuscripts, registers a trend towards documentary and diplomatic editions. This “bédierian” tendence leads to editions focused mainly on the diplomatic transcription of the source, lacking in consideration about the genetic process. Lying under this situation we could figure out the existence of digital tools and languages more adequate to this documentary approach. In addition to that, this article is aimed at showing the concrete problems in representing the diachronic elaboration of the text in a digital form, through methodological considerations and examples of realisation. Despite the widespread trend and the difficulty in choosing a different way, it seems possible to reflect on genetic digital editions from an optimistic perspective. In fact, these editions are not only necessary, at least for certain textual situations, but also feasible, as shown by some ongoing projects and experiments (Saba 2021, VaSto 2022 and Il Conte di Carmagnola), presented at the end of the contribution.

The extant literature on the integration of mobile instant messaging (MIM) into language pedagogy has documented its potential to leverage engagement and learning outcomes. Nevertheless, how individual differences in regard to emotional, sociocognitive, and motivational bearings contribute to language learning gains is hardly documented. This study is devoted to addressing this lacuna through an analysis of structural equation modeling (SEM) which explores the association between trait-emotional intelligence (TEI), online learning engagement (OLE), EFL learning motivation, and their grades in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programs. Three-hundred-seventy-one freshmen in an Indonesian university were involved in EAP programs framed in team-based mobile language learning (TBML), mediated by Telegram as a complementary learning app. The students responded to an online survey eliciting their postlesson perception of the abovementioned variables. Students' course grades complemented the data collection. The results of our SEM analysis acknowledged the linear correlation from TEI, OLE, to EFL motivation as the drives to students' learning achievement. This has also been supported by a robust correlation between the variables. The findings of the present study implicate the pedagogical potentials of TBML to scaffold self-regulated learning and satisfactory language learning gains, provided that students' emotional intelligence, engagement, and motivation are intensively potentiated across different learning phases. Research limitations and recommendations are also explored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents how we enhanced the accessibility and utility of historical linguistic data in the project Bullinger Digital. The project involved the transformation of 3,100 letters, primarily available as scanned PDFs, into a dynamic, fully digital format. The expanded digital collection now includes 12,000 letters, 3,100 edited, 5,400 transcribed, and 3,500 represented through detailed metadata and results from handwritten text recognition. Central to our discussion is the innovative workflow developed for this multilingual corpus. This includes strategies for text normalisation, machine translation, and handwritten text recognition, particularly focusing on the challenges of code-switching within historical documents. The resulting digital platform features an advanced search system, offering users various filtering options such as correspondent names, time periods, languages, and locations. It also incorporates fuzzy and exact search capabilities, with the ability to focus searches within specific text parts, like summaries or footnotes. Beyond detailing the technical process, this paper underscores the project’s contribution to historical research and digital humanities. While the Bullinger Digital platform serves as a model for similar projects, the corpus behind it demonstrates the vast potential for data reuse in historical linguistics. The project exemplifies how digital humanities methodologies can revitalise historical text collections, offering researchers access to and interaction with historical data. This paper aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of our project’s scope and broader implications for the field of digital humanities, highlighting the transformative potential of such digital endeavours in historical linguistic research.

The publication of Andreas Okopenko’s diaries from 1949 to 1954 is a digital edition that includes carefully transcribed diary entries with thoughtful and transparent, although not always easily accessible, editing guidelines. The presentation of the digital edition offers engagement with the contents in different ways, whether reading the diaries in chronological order or exploring them through linked data and indexes, but a full-text search is missing. The research data collected is enriched with metadata and available for subsequent use in a repository in the form of TEI-XML files and with an open license. Although API exists, the generated research data is not yet fully integrated in the overarching infrastructure for digital editions at the Austrian National Library (ÖNB). The project took a hybrid approach and published a printed edition subsequently, which, curiously, covers a longer period than the digital edition. The website, however, lacks information on whether there will be published more diaries in the future.

Bullying is a growing and increasingly worrying phenomenon. In recent years, a number of different bullying prevention programs have been implemented to create a more positive school environment. This paper offers a description of these prevention programs, focussing on the three most commonly implemented in schools: TEI, KiVa and Mediation Teams. A qualitative, descriptive and comparative analysis was made using semistructured interviews with tutors, coordinators and experts at nine schools, three schools for each of the programs. The results show that these bullying prevention programs help raise awareness of this problem within the entire school community, improving the school environment and reducing conflict and instances of bullying. Overall, participating schools reported being highly satisfied with the results of these programs and it is therefore important to consider the mandatory implementation of bullying prevention programs in all schools.

Notes written by an author in the margins of his books give the opportunity to reconstruct his profile and the history of his works. Nevertheless, in making the critical edition of notes we have to face important difficulties, which digital philology can solve. The issue is discussed by analysing the edition of Giorgio Bassani’s notes, that is double: the printed edition is accompanied by the digital one, of which we present the prototype, that reproduces marginalia marked by Bassani in the book La scuola dell’uomo by Guido Calogero (1939).

Despite the flexibility that a TEI-based workflow offers for preparing editions based on collating several manuscripts, textual scholars working with XML-TEI edition files face a lack of domain-specific auxiliary tools. The TEI-CAT partially fills this gap by providing interfaces for visualizing the transcription of different manuscripts and for exploring the encoded variations and detecting common mistakes. While not properly supporting several types of textual variation and editorial intervention, these tools satisfy most of the needs usually arising during transcription and collation. The image annotation tool complements them by allowing users to generate TEI-compliant code. This tool very flexibly describes or comments on facsimile layout and content and thus is particularly helpful in preparing digital editions. Finally, the PDF-via-LaTeX exporting facility extends the scope of the toolbox towards traditional paper-based publishing, which often remains an editor’s ultimate goal. However, this tool requires adopting specific encoding practices, which are not made explicit and may not match the user’s choices; its output needs manual modifications in some cases. Together, these tools partially illustrate how the XML-TEI format can be used to prepare critical editions. They constitute an important step towards creating a TEI-based digital environment in this field.

TEITOK is a web-based system designed to bring scholarly editing and computational linguistics together with the purpose of creating and hosting online language corpora. The system offers a visually attractive environment for digital editing based on the XML/TEI standard. TEITOK consists of automatic processes for carrying out many linguistic text processing tasks and functions. It boasts an intuitive interface via which researchers and corpus creators, who are not always computer literate, can manage corpus maintenance and error correction. The tokenization strategy in TEITOK permits the linking of the different levels of editing and annotation of each word in a single XML document for subsequent retrieval of information. This method provides a tool for editing, annotating, and exploiting corpora with a powerful search engine. TEITOK stands out for its high customisation and adaptability to a wide variety of corpora. In this article we analyse its utilities oriented mainly towards the creation of historical corpora, taking for this purpose the particular case of Oralia diacrónica del español (ODE).

The present paper describes the specific contribution of the TEI Lex-0 initiative, which aims to define a terser subset of the TEI Guidelines for the representation of etymological features in dictionary entries. Going beyond the basic provision of etymological mechanisms in the TEI Guidelines, TEI Lex-0 Etym proposes a systematic representation of etymological and cognate descriptions by means of embedded constructs based on the (for etymologies) and (for etymons and cognates) elements. In particular, given that all the potential contents of etymons are highly analogous to those of dictionary entries in general, the contents presented herein heavily reuse many of the corresponding features and constraints introduced in other components of TEI Lex-0 for the encoding of etymologies and etymons. The TEI Lex-0 Etym model is also closely aligned with ISO 24613–3 on modeling etymological data and the corresponding TEI serialization available in ISO 24613–4.

Elucidating the correlation among tourism, CO2 emissions, and economic growth from a spatiotemporal standpoint is of utmost significance for the tourism industry responding to China's "double-carbon" goal. This study expansively uses the bottom-up approach, Theil index, Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA), and Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method to calculate tourism CO2 emissions (TE) at different spatial scales in China during 2000–2019, and based on the TE, we further analyze the spatial heterogeneity of the TE intensity (TEI) and examine the spatiotemporal effects of driving factors on TE increases. The results revealed that (i) China's TE increased from 3714.06 × 104 t to 19,396.00 × 104 t, and the TEI declined from 47 to 9 g/yuan during 2000–2019. (ii) The high-TEI provinces varied from agglomerative distribution in the north by western region to scattered distribution in the eastern region. (iii) China's TEI exhibited increasing spatial differences, primarily within regions during 2000–2009, which also distributed with both the global and local agglomeration in space before 2014, and since then, only the local agglomeration enhanced and characterized by diffusing low–low (L–L) agglomeration from the east to the central and west regions. (iv) The tourism industrial scale and the industrial economy exerted cumulative effects on TE increases, and the energy intensity and energy structure exerted reduction effects. The spatial structure played different roles on TE among the regions. Policy implications are also discussed depending on the study results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses a recent project which applied computational methods to catalogue data in an attempt to generate new information on the provenance of Islamicate manuscripts in UK repositories. Using a subset of records taken from the Fihrist Union Catalogue as a dataset, we analysed and grouped together manuscript descriptions which shared selected physical features, then examined the occurrence of records with secure provenance within those groups to see if information on the place of origin could be extrapolated across them. While we gained useful information regarding the provenance of manuscripts, the chief conclusion of the project was that catalogue data, in its current state, poses serious challenges for quantitative analysis. This is partly due to the various purposes for which data has traditionally been collected (in contexts where codicological descriptions had a different purpose) and partly due to inconsistencies in the dataset. In our conclusion we put forward strategies for working with inconsistent data, make suggestions for changes to cataloguing practices to answer the requirements of digital methods, and propose new research questions addressing the history of catalogues and cataloguing practices which came into focus during the project. We also make a case for the potential of digital methods to enable new approaches to decolonisation, focusing on data modelling, data provenance, and accessibility. How text encoding can support quantitative codicology and the analysis of data derived from manuscript descriptions at scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The digital scholarly edition (DSE) concept is reviewed and discussed, as well as the various denominations used to refer to it. The study investigates the scope of the quality standards set for this type of edition and explores the software available for its publication. The work is completed with an evaluative analysis of a sample of applications, delving into their characteristics, the constraints on the user interfaces to which they give access, and how well they meet the standards. The conclusions confirm the urgent need to critically and systematically evaluate edition software. The gradual development of open and interoperable software stands out as a positive result, based on the coding of texts following the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), which optimizes data reuse and preservation. However, the durability of web interfaces and the sustainability of these digital projects require adequate research infrastructures, for which it is proposed to promote synergies with libraries and traditional publishers, among other mediators. Finally, to advance with the adaptation of publishing models to the digital paradigm, the need for the academic community to agree on DSE display formats is underlined, as well as to undertake user studies that guarantee the adaptation of DSEs to the target audience they address.

Teoria e forme del testo digitale (Carocci, 2019) edited by Michelangelo Zaccarello collects a translation of ten essays by the most influential authors on the theme of digital textuality, followed by an afterword by H. Wayne Storey. The introduction to Zaccarello's book examines the problems arising from the advent of the new digital medium, which will be discussed in the following pages; they are not only linked to the theme of representation and text encoding, but also affect the world of born digital literature and copyright, in an agile journey to rediscover the importance of philology.

In common with many technical aspects of digital humanities, the TEI has a reputation for being difficult to teach and difficult to learn, with potential practitioners put off by the large and (at first sight) intimidating set of guidelines, the seemingly complex hierarchical structure and the profusion of angle brackets. One-to-one or small group teaching in the context of a specific project is often the preferred method, where the short but steep learning curve required to engage with the TEI can be addressed in a way which is relevant to the aims and experience of the learner. This, however, is not a particularly efficient way of teaching. In this article, the authors discuss their experience of teaching (and learning) the TEI, and how lessons learned in contexts relating to specific projects might feed into the teaching of TEI in a more general setting – the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School being the prime example.

This article describes the development of the digital edition of Robert Forbes's "Lyon in Mourning" as part of the SSHRC Partnership Engage project, "Engaging Public and Academic Audiences to Recover Lost Voices of Scottish History: 'The Lyon in Mourning' Manuscript and the Jacobite Networks of the 1745 Rising." Following Patrick Sahle's definition of a scholarly digital edition as one that is "guided by a digital paradigm in [its] theory, method and practice," this article outlines the technical infrastructure and editorial decisions both employed by the project team and, in many ways, demanded by Forbes's densely interlinked manuscript. Transcribing, digitizing, and editing Forbes's manuscript, this article suggests, has not only provided the project with new ways to engage with the narratives compiled by Forbes, but has also demonstrated how Forbes's editorial practice has shaped the project's editorial and technical directions.

In recent times, the term artificial intelligence and its various applications have spread, such as machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, and it has been used in many sectors and has resulted in business development in terms of performance, speed and quality. This development has also extended to libraries and information centers as one of the largest institutions that provide knowledge services, and the research sheds light on the process of extracting bibliographic data from information sources, especially text materials that include (books and scientific articles), Where the search is to encourage enterprises and institutions of information industry knowledge, namely publishers, libraries and information centers to adopt the use of bibliographic data extraction tools, The proposed model provides a general framework for extracting bibliographic data from information sources - text - Arabic, And to facilitate catalogers works and not cancel their role fully, Although the technology could limit the role of the catalogers, The research provides an explanation of what artificial intelligence is and its applications, And the definition of what is descriptive cataloging, clarifying the role of the publisher in the process of creating bibliographic records, and making use of the capabilities of machine learning in extracting bibliographic data from textual information sources, in addition to presenting the structure and components of the proposed model for extracting bibliographic data out of a number of results and recommendations.

Literary and textual scholars have long speculated about Wilde’s intentions for revising the homoerotic content of his famous novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891). More recently, electronic editing tools enable scholars to explore textual composition histories within a digital space. This project uses the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) standard, an electronic editing tool that allows researchers to ‘mark up’, or tag, textual elements. Using the TEI, I mark up the first chapter of Wilde’s manuscript of Dorian Gray, which introduces the story’s three main characters, Basil Hallward, Lord Henry Wotten, and Dorian Gray. Drawing from debates in Textual Scholarship and Queer Historiography, I question how electronic editing with the TEI might register the ways that Wilde suppressed the homoeroticism between these three characters during his revision process. My work here pushes against what I identify as TEI’s main constraint, which is its limitation for handling data that is discrete, rather than smooth or ambiguous data, like the homoeroticism of this text. I conclude by proposing a TEI customization that marks Wilde’s revisions according to the four homoerotic themes of ‘intimacy’, ‘beauty’, ‘passion’ and ‘fatality’. As an experiment in ‘queer encoding’, this customization shows how strict data structures like the TEI might engage the fluidity and complexity of queerness in text.

The Carlyle Letters Online (CLO) and The Jane Addams Digital Edition (JADE) represent digital scholarly edition projects comparable in their scale (7 – 8,000 documents), their relationships with print editions projects, and their self-definition as a database. They differ remarkably in their methods of document curation, the organization of their contents, in their search functionality, in their publishing frameworks, and in their relationship to the semantic web. Comparing and contrasting CLO and JADE serves to highlight issues of design, navigation, and planning for large-scale digital scholarly editions designed to complement print editions. While JADE follows a metadata based, semantic web approach and depends heavily on Omeka, CLO chose a more classical TEI approach, which has very different consequences both for end users and long-term sustainability.

A corpus collecting rewritings of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice allows us to study intertextuality and to represent it through a network of correspondences and within a comparative digital edition. For this purpose, we examine the output of two text reuse detection tools, TextPAIR and Tracer, in order to combine their treatments and exploit each one’s best potential. We propose a series of treatments to enrich the results and to overcome specific challenges observed. These technical manipulations allow us to interpret the results obtained for an essay by Pierre-Simon Ballanche and confront them with empirical analyses of the Orphic topos. Thus, we show that analysis supported by computational techniques is all the more useful for the study of intertextuality as it is adapted to the corpus.

Medieval sermons brim with tens of thousands of exempla, the “exemplary short stories” frequently used to convey belief and morals to the faithful. Long considered a class of dogmatic, religious, and moral texts, they were mostly studied as a subgroup of folktales and fables in literary studies. With the “anthropological turn” in historical research, new attention was paid to exempla as sources of cultural and historical insight, notably by the historian Jacques Le Goff and his student-inheritors. ThEMA, a database of medieval exempla, began life in the 1990s in the hands of these inheritors, and has grown and transformed since then. It currently holds over 12,000 indexed exempla from the long “global Middle Ages”, stretching from Latin Europe to Byzantium to Asia, and drawing from Christian, Jewish, Islamic, and Buddhist sources. All exempla are carefully encoded and assigned metadata, and linked to keywords and thesauri, to enable researchers to undertake a variety of inquiries into these cultural artifacts. The most recent transformation of ThEMA into XML-TEI format, within a searchable database that provides powerful interfaces, has permitted the project to fully engage with FAIR data standards to ensure longevity and broader usability of the data for researchers and the general public.

The benefits of digital editions do not need to be demonstrated: surely, the edition text can be enriched with comments, multiple translations, grammatical annotations, metrics, and so forth. Furthermore, the encoding of the text and the associated apparatus in XML-TEI turns the edition into a database that can be consulted by the reader according to various needs. The TEI provides accurate standardised elements for the description of handwritten sources. However, TEI-encoded apparatuses are not so much meant to be interpreted by humans as processed by machines. In this respect, the Ekdosis LuaLaTeX package developed by Robert Alessi is a precious tool for philologists undertaking to make a critical edition of an ancient text, for it allows them to type in LaTeX every item of the edition (variants, sources, translation, commentary) while requesting at the same time PDF and XML-TEI ouput files, the former to be read and the latter to be searched. As a result, Ekdosis appears as a tool that combines two needs: that of producing a printed edition in compliance with philological traditions and that of providing what Donald J. Mastronarde and Richard J. Tarrant have called “actionable texts for use in digital research”. The purpose of this article is to expose, based on a commented example taken from my edition of the atellanae, the method I followed to write with Ekdosis the constituent elements of a digital critical edition.
