Encoding
Project declaration

Core file encoded manually in XML by a group of volunteers.

Sean Crist tried performing OCR on the glossary, but the results were so degraded that he considered them to be unusable. OCR did not seem to be an option at that time, so Sean decided to recruit volunteers to type the text. He wrote to the ANSAX-L mailing list and then snail mailed xeroxed pages to the volunteers. Then he regularized the character encoding and reassambled the submissions into a single online document. This strategy worked splendidly. A hearty thanks to these volunteers for making this reference available to all!

The original text distinguished e-with-hook from plain e, and o-with-hook from plain o. Volunteers were told to ignore this etymological distinction and just type e and o. Likewise, the original glossary contained page references back to the main text; since it would be a lot of work to work to key, volunteers were told to skip the page numbers.

After reassembling the typed text, Sean wrote a Perl script to parse the glossary and output an XML version to show the structure of the document.

Minor validation has been done on some of the fields. It would still be good to spell check the definition fields with a modern English spell checker, check the Old English forms against a corpus of Old English, etc. None of these steps have been taken yet; it is therefore nearly certain that there are undetected errors in this glossary.
