Keeping it open: a TEI-based publication pipeline for historical documents
Résumé
Following the emergence of numerous projects to exploit historical archives, books or similar contents, as well as the exponential needs for digital tools tailored for those tasks, the DAHN project (Dispositif de soutien à l'Archivistique et aux Humanités Numériques) developed a complete open-source pipeline made of tools and methods making it possible to present a digital scholarly edition of scanned handwritten material. Composed of six steps (digitization, segmentation, transcription, post-OCR processing, encoding, and publication) and centered on historical documents, and more particularly on ego documents, this pipeline has been built around TEI, which works as a pivot format, to ensure its robustness, sustainability, and reusability. More than just encoding in TEI, we also choose tools compatible with it, such as eScriptorium for segmentation/transcription or TEI Publisher for the publication. To further help the people working with the pipeline, we also heavily documented the development of the pipeline, as well as its steps, to ease its reuse.
