DocEng is a leading international forum for researchers, practitioners, developers and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and to exchange techniques, tools and experiences. DocEng emphasizes innovative approaches to document engineering technology, use of documents and document collections in real world applications, novel principles, tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage, maintain, share, and productively use these. You are invited to submit original papers to the 15th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng 2015), to be held at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland. Attendees at this international forum have interests that span all aspects of document engineering and applications. DocEng is sponsored by ACM by means of the ACM SIGWEB Special Interest Group.

Visualization tool supporting the embedded transcription method
by Roberto Rosselli Del Turco 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

Hi all, we've just released EVT 0.1.62 with experimental support for the embedded transcription method. A sample edition collecting miscellaneous examples (including those presented in the Guidelines) is available here: http://vbd.humnet.unipi.it/evt-et/ and a blog post describing EVT changes is here: http://visualizationtechnology.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/tei-embedded-transc… while the EVT code with all of above is as usual available on Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/evt-project/ We'd appreciate feedback and suggestions on how to improve it (and of course other EVT features), as written in the blog post we weren't sure of how to interpret some of the possible use cases. Seeing TEI XML from the point of view of a tool developer, for once, was an eye opening experience! Last, but definitely not least, let me thank the EADH "small grants" program which made this expansion of EVT's features possible.
