Anthologize

Anthologize is a free, open-source plugin for WordPress 3.0. It enables WordPress to be used as a platform for publishing electronic texts in PDF, ePUB or TEI format. The plugin enables users to grab their existing blog posts, export content from external feeds or compose new content directly in Anthologize, then apply outlining, create a custom order, and edit content into a single document for export. Anthologize requires a self-hosted or local installation of WordPress.

Versioning Machine

The Versioning Machine, now in version 4.0, is a framework and an interface for displaying multiple versions of text, and encodes the text according to TEI guidelines. It incorporates features found in both critical editions and electronic publication, in addition to providing an environment for textual editors to comparatively view the results of their edits. This tool may be downloaded for use on a local machine, or hosted on one's server for web usage.

PhiloLogic

Philologic is a free, open source full-text search, retrieval and analysis tool developed by the ARTFL Project and the Digital Library Development Centre, at the University of Chicago. This tool supports a wide variety of XML and SGML encoded documents, in addition to plain text, Dublin Core and HTML, and includes a MySQL back end. It is designed ot be light, fast and robust, boasts extensive use and testing, and can be used directly 'out of the box' with numerous configuration options built in.

Juxta

Juxta is a free, open source tool for comparing and collating texts, originally intended for comparing multiple versions of the same text. It offers several views and visualization options, including histograms and side by side comparison. Juxta is available as both a desktop application and as a web service that can be integrated into the user's own website.

TXM

TXM is a free, open source text corpus analysis environment. Its features include concordance, collocate search, frequencies based on the CQP full text search engine and statistical functions based on R packages. It can export results in CSV, XML or SVG format, and runs as a standalone desktop application in Windows, OS X and Linux environments, or as a web portal (download the leaflet for more).

Abbot

Abbot is a free tool for converting multiple XML texts with multiple markup schema into a common interoperable file, offered by the MONK (Metadata Offer New Knowledge) Project. It can also read an XML schema file and output procedures, and use them to convert other files into valid XML in alignment with the target schema. While Abbot focusses on TEI, it has been designed to flexibly accomodate other standards and can transform texts into any XML schema required.

UVic Image Markup Tool

The UVic Image Markup Tool is a free tool for annotating images and storing the annotations in XML files from the University of Victoria's Humanities Computing and Media Centre. Its interface is designed for users without prior XML experience with additional functions for users familiar with XML, and supports multiple languages. The Image Markup Tool is available for Windows, and will also run in Linux with Wine.

ediarum

With ediarum researchers can comfortably transcribe, encode and edit manuscripts in TEI-XML, as well as publish their results in an online or print edition. The solution, developed by TELOTA, is based on three software components: exist-db, Oxygen XML Author, and ConTeXt. These are combined, supplemented with additional functions, and tailored to fit a project's needs.

Collation Works

CollateX-based text collation client. CollateX, run on an server independent from the URL above, is a powerful, fully automatic, baseless text collation engine for multiple witnesses. A second collation technique, ncritic, provides a slightly different baseless text collation. Each engine complements each other nicely. The user can use different files, even URLs, then output the result in GraphML, TEI, JSON, HTML, or SVG. Fuzzy matching is an option.

xMod
xMod is a desktop application which can transform a repository of XML into a completely finished website.

The entire process can be setup and run to produce a basic website assuming some prerequisites:

- a set of valid XML files. These would normally comply with a TEI DTD.

- a configuration script that indicates the relationship between files

- a 'personality pack' (CSS and image files) that determine its visual appearance.

However if they are not present, the completed website falls back on a default look and feel.

Some features include:

- Batch file processing

- Modular XSLT structure, with special libraries for different transformation scenarios

- Ability to group files for generation of indices at document and intra-document level
