TEI17

This repository contains layout analysis and OCR from 17^th books in TEI files and their ODD.

Production

Thoses files were created thanks to a pipeline :

1. Segmentation and transcription with eScriptorium, using models from datasetsOCRSegmenter17 github repository

2. Manual correction of ALTO4 files extracted from eScriptorium

3. Python script pipeline to transform those ALTO4 files in a unique TEI file (see Extractor repository) , adding some metadata (extracted from manifest IIIF and SPARQL requests in data.bnf.fr).

How TEI file is built ?

This TEI file tries to stick at most to TEI all documentation.

So it contains :

1. teiHeader in which there is all metadata recovered with manifest IIIF and SPARQL request, some information about encoding (use of SegmOnto vocabulary, some information about book's printer(s)

2. facsimile in which is all layout informations about different zones, lines, and baselines, with pixels coordinates and links to IIIF images

3. text in which is all transcription, linked to the concerned line
