Volumes in the Records of Early English Drama (REED) series contain complex texts which qualify technically as data-sets. In the world of electronic publication, new means become available to access such data-sets. The proposed project will develop the framework, textual processing techniques, and editorial tools to enable single-source digital and print publication of future volumes in the REED series, beginning with the pilot collection of dramatic records for London: Inns of Court, edited by Alan H. Nelson. The code and documentation developed in this project will be made freely available for scholarly use under a standard open-source license such as the GPL. |
