TEXTvre

TEXTvre will support the complete lifecycle of research in e-humanities textual studies by providing researchers with advanced services to process and analyse research texts that are held in formally managed, metadata-rich institutionally-based repositories. The access and analysis of textual research data will be supported by annotation and retrieval technology and will provide services for every step in the digital research life cycle.

The project is a collaboration between Centre for e-Research at King's College London, the Centre for Computing in the Humanities at King's College London, the University of Sheffield, and the State and University Libraries at Göttingen, Germany.

TEXTvre is building upon the success of the German TextGrid project and is adopting, evaluating and expanding TextGrid solutions for UK community needs. It will also interoperate closely with national infrastructures, in the form of the NGS.

TEXTvre is developing a virtual research environment for textual scholarship. It is not itself developing digital resources, but three projects are participating in the project as case studies: • Early English Laws (http://www.earlyenglishlaws.ac.uk/) • The Gascon Rolls Project (http://www.gasconrolls.org/) • Inscriptions of Roman Cyrenaica (http://www.ircyr.kcl.ac.uk/)
