Data Acquisition

ediarum

ediarum and DEPCHA

The software can be used to mark up TEI documents in Oxygen Author. For this purpose an customizable input with registers can be created. Its using an eXist DB in the background.

What is needed?

An XML schema derived from the Bookkeeping Ontology, and which further uses a restricted tag set of the TEI. The tag set contains all TEI-Elements needed to describe accounting documents. Further index lists of currencies, persons, organizations, goods and units of measurement (which are part of the t:teiHeader in form of t:listPerson, t:taxonomy etc.) can be used to make the process of annotation more efficent.
