Procedural Outline of Study/Project
Our goal is to extend the reach of the SEASR project to work more effectively with texts encoded using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines, and to explore modes of scholarly analysis that draw on the structural and semantic information conveyed by this encoding.
We will first identify a specific set of textual features for which TEI markup affords a strong intellectual purchase for scholarly analysis, using the Women Writers Project (WWP) corpus as a testbed. We will then develop a set of prototype components and flows for use within the SEASR environment that extract and transform information from the encoded texts, and retransmit it for further analysis and processing by other SEASR modules. These modules will be tested both within the WWP publication interface and within the SEASR repository, where they will be contributed for shared us
