TEI Export for the CDLI Corpus


Mentors

Organization
Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI)

I am writing an export tool for the CDLI dataset so it can be used with the Scaife viewer. The tool will need to convert the native AFT markup used by CDLI to the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) XML schema used by Perseus, and generate corresponding Canonical Text Services annotations for each source.

This will improve the accessibility of the CDLI corpus by making it available to the larger community of tools developed for TEI analysis and provide a newer, more powerful, option for accessing the CDLI corpus online.
