Browse interlinear glossed text corpus (in Emeld XML format) and associated lexical data (in Lift XML format).
- The Emeld vocabulary represents interlinear glossed texts. It can be produced by SIL Fiedlworks or Elan.
- See : Cathy Bow, Baden Hughes, Steven Bird, (2003) "Towards a general model of interlinear text", Proceedings of Emeld workshop 2003.
- The Lift (Lexical Interchange Format Standard) vocabulary is also an export format of SIL Fiedlworks and Elan.
The display is defined in XQuery files and can be very easily adapted to specific needs.
- BaseX XML database
- Optional: In order to be able to export texts into PDF, you need a XSLT processor on your java classpath and a latex installation on your system
- Install BaseX
- In BaseX, create a database from an Emeld document, containg the interlinear texts, and a database from a Lift document, containing the dictionary
- Checkout this repository
- Create a file
.basex(see the example inbasex.sample), for instance in your home directory - edit the variables
$common:LexiconDataBaseNameand$common:TextsDataBaseNameinwebapp/xq/variable.xqmin order to point the intended basex databases.
- run bin/basexhttp from the directory containing your
.basexfile - open a browser and go to http://localhost:8984/Index
