Editorial model
Representation of the Vienna Bede
The digital edition of Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Codex 15298 (olim
Suppl. 2698) aims to provide a close transcription of the source. Most of the characters can be found in the ASCII table. Those not available there are
described with the help of the
TEI
Character Declaration. In the XML of the sources they are modeled with the
<g> element.
Macro structure
Macrostucturing elements are modeled:
- Manuscript page beginning is modeled with a <pb> element and the attributes
@n (foliation count) and @type = "manuscript".
- Line beginning is modeled with a <lb> element. For specific displaying
purposes in the "Text Only" view, each line of the main text is furthermore modeled
with an <ab> element @ana = "#line".
- Column beginning is modeled with a <cb> element and the
attribute@n (alphabetical column count as well as marginal and
intercolumnar).
- Chapters in DTR are modeled with a <div> and the attributes @type
= "chapter" and @n for the chapter number and title.
- Corresponding page breaks in Jones' edition are modeled with a <pb> element
and the attributes @n (page number) and @type = "edition".
Abbreviations
Abbreviations are modeled using the respective elements:
<choice>,
<expan>,
<abbr>,
<am>.
Editorial reconstruction
Changes by the editor are modeled with the element
<supplied>. More information
is given through the @reason attribute:
- "Faded": the text is faded on the manuscript.
- "Hole": there is a hole in the manuscript.
Gaps in the text are modeled with the element
<gap> and represented as [...] in
the edition.
Micro structure
Microstructuring text elements are modeled:
- Gloss anchors (i.e. the position of the gloss within the main text) are modeled
using the <seg> element and a @xml:id attribute which refers to the
page and line in Jones' edition.
- Glosses are modeled with the <gloss> element. They have their specific
@xml:id attributes and are all interlinked to their respective "gloss
anchor" using the @target attribute. Their are furthermore annotated with
the following attributes:
- @type: interlinear, marginal, intercolumnar
- @subtype: monolingual, bilingual, correction, number, signe de
renvoi
- @ana: in which the respective languages are recorded
- @facs: provides IIIF links to the glosses in the respective digital
images of the manuscripts
Each gloss features a <ref> element (@type = "manuscript")
which refers to the corresponding page of the digital representation of the
manuscript. Where applicable there are also two further <ref> elements: one
with the @type = "Thesaurus" which refers to the position of the gloss in
the Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus including a hyperlink to the publication on https://archive.org and another one with the @type = "CorPH" which
refers to the corresponding analysis of the gloss in the Corpus
Palaeohibernicum. Furthermore, a <note> element with the
@type = "translation" offers a translation for the gloss and another
<note> element with the @type = "glossing" shows what is actually
glosses in the main text (both interlinked with the gloss through a @target
element). - Parallel glosses are modeled using the <app> element. The main gloss which
features all the elements laid out above is modeled as <lem>. Each of the
parallel glosses appears as <rdg> which is modeled like a gloss.
- Within glosses every token is annotated with the <w> element and gets their
individual ID (@xml:id). They are modeled using the following attributes:
Example for a gloss:
Example for a gloss with a parallel gloss:
The two views of the edition
The "Facsimile" view offers the text (arranged by folios and columns) on the left. The
lines of the main text are numbered on the left. Marginal and intercolumnar glosses appear
in their respective column. Interlinear glosses are shown on top of the line of their
gloss anchor. Hovering over these anchors opens a tooltip which offers further information
on the gloss, i.e. the gloss number, the gloss and a translation. The facsimile with
several controls on top of it are found to the right of the text. The facsimile stems from
the Austrian National Library and can be viewed
here. The controls allow to switch between abbreviated and expanded forms and
also to show/hide the glosses, chapter titels, folio numbers, and the pagenumbers of
Jones' edition.
The "Text Only" view is in the form of a table. Once again the line numbers of the main
text are presented, but in this case also the folio number and the column are added:
"1ra1" therefore means the first line in column a of folio 1 recto. Glosses appear
underneath the line of their respective lemma. The first column offers the gloss number
(functioning as a link to the gloss list), gloss type (interlinear, marginal, or
intercolumnar) and an eye icon which by hovering over it brings up images of the glosses.
These images are loaded from the respective repositories using the IIIF-API. Following
next is the text of the gloss anchor. Then comes the gloss in bold typeset and the
translation. For Old Irish glosses two icons serve as links to the respective entry in
CorPH and the page of the Thesaurus Palaehibernicus. Parallel glosses are found indented
in the following rows.
The two glosses lists
The glosses (including all parallel glosses) in these views are arranged according to the
lemma/phrase they are glossing in the base text. Both views feature preset filters,
individual search options and export options on the right hand side, e.g., filtering by
manuscript or language, string search, and exporting the results as .csv-files.
The first table displays all glosses with the following extra information:
- GlossID: hovering over the eye icon next to it opens an image of the gloss
- Translation
- Language
- Linguistic Type: mono- or bilingual
- Gloss Type: interlinear, intercolumnar or marginal
- Chapter of DTR
- Manuscript.
The other table offers a POS and morphological analysis for the tokens of each gloss. The
first line presents the Gloss ID, the gloss itself and a translation. Each word is
analysed as follows:
Visualisations
The two types of visualisations of the corpus are established using the
D3 JavaScript library.
The first visualisation is a force-directed network graph (D3 Force Layout):
- The blue nodes are the gloss anchors (= glossing) and their size depends on the number of glosses (= links) they have. To make the graph more comprehensable the
size of the manuscript nodes is limited once they exceed as certain number of links.
- Hovering over a node temporarily removes all other links in the graph thereby highlighting its own links.
- Clicking on a node opens a new tab and brings you to the corresponding glosses in the "Text Only" view.
- The panel on the right allows you to show/hide chapters and is per default set to showing all chapters.
The following parameters are used:
- forceCenter: "width / 2, height / 2"
- This centers the graph in the middle of the div.
- forceManyBody: "-7"
- This causes the elements to attract or repel each other. Negative values do
the latter (default is "-30"), which means that "-7" causes a light
repulsion.
- forceCollide: "4"
- This prevents the nodes from overlapping.
The second visualisation is a bar chart representing the number of glosses for each
language per chapter. The exact numbers are presented in a tooltip when hovering over the
graph. Languages can be turned on and off by clicking on the rectangles next to them in the legend.
The third visualisation shows all the parallel glosses with their languages grouped according to the chapters
they appear in. Clicking on the glosses brings you to the corresponding parallel glosses in the "Text Only" view.

Information on the used special characters is collected in the character declaration
(

the Medieval Unicode Font Initiative (MUFI).
