Texts
Texts have been downloaded from the Gutenberg project and archive.org and then converted into TEI files, one file for each letter.
Technology stack
- eXist-db: backend for data and web application platform using XML, Xquery, XSLT, Javascript, HTML5, CSS
- Text Encoding Initiative (TEI): semantic tagging of all texts
- The Relax NG Schema tei_nfe.rng for tagging the letters is based on the TEI Simpleprint schema which has been extended mainly by <correspAction> and <correspDesc> elements; the ODD file can be found here. For the place and people authority files two Relax NG schemas have been created: tei_nfe_places.rng (ODD file) and tei_nfe_people.rng (ODD file).
Code and data can be found on Github.com.
