Session outline

This session will focus on the CITE architecture through specific applications designed for translation alignment and n-gram search, also considering other possibilities in digital editions and classroom activities.

  1. Overview: The Project, Artemidorus, Aesop, Greek + Portuguese.
  2. CTS concepts. CTS is for identification and retrieval of passages of text using canonical citation. Only. But you can get a lot done with that, or by wrapping other tools around that.
  3. Exercise 1: Ducat alignment of the Iliad (Greek and Pope, by line).
  4. Exercise 2: Ducat alignment of the Odyssey: Greek, English, Portuguese, translation alignment.
  5. How to save, share, and return to your Ducat work.
  6. Bigger picture. Integrated, open-ended views of HMT data. What CEX looks like. Future plans.

Links to some HMT Examples

These links aim to demonstrate that a single data-source (saved as a plain-text file in the CITE Architecture's CEX format) can serve many different kinds of services and applications.

Exercise

To practice some of the things we talked about, there is an Exercise PDF here that walks through, with text and pictures, the steps for basic browsing, analysis, and translation-alignment.
