LEAF-Writer - HeFDI / NFDI

Further development of the open source software LEAF-Writer to adapt it to the needs of the German-speaking community, e.g. through translation, correction of errors, expansion of functionality (standard data sources, backend for data storage). Contribution to improved RDM in text-orientated disciplines.

 

Project information

Text-orientated disciplines have to transcribe documents from scans and mark them up in accordance with XML (e.g. locations, persons). There is a lack of user-friendly software. Against this background, stable, user-friendly and system-independent software is to be made available according to the needs of the community.
