New specialist tools for medieval document XML markup

Published: 11 March 2007 Publication History

Abstract

The digitalization of historical text documents as a basis of data mining and information retrieval for the purpose of progress in the history sciences is urgently needed. We present a novel, specialist XML tool-suite supporting the working historian in the transcription of original medieval charters into a machine-readable form.
