Transcribing text and annotating with links to images
Tufts Fall 2013 Greek Inscriptions Class
- Select an inscription to transcribe in Perseids:
- Select “epifacs” inventory from first drop-down
- Select the inscription group from the 2nd drop-down
- The fall 2013 class will be working with inscriptions in the CEG and IG (II) groups
- Select one of the following inscriptions to edit:
- CEG 518, Pausimache, daughter of Phainippe and Pausanias (urn:cts:ceg:ceg.518)
- CEG 595, Funerary monument for isoteleis Gerus, his wife Nico, and Theophilos (urn:cts:ceg:ceg.595)

- IG II,2 12974 Mus. Nat. 3696 (urn:cts:ig:ii_2.12974)
- Click “Create Edition”
- From the Overview Page, click the XML link
- Navigate the images available for the inscription from the drop-down on the right of the edit page
- Transcribe the text of the inscription using Epidoc
- Annotate a region of text with a region of interest in the image by highlighting a region of interest on the image, and copy the CITE URN (by right clicking on it) and add it as the value of a @facs attribute on the XML tag surrounding the related text in the inscription.
- Enter a summary of your changes in the comment box and click Save
- To preview the annotated links between text and image, click on the Overview link for the inscription and click Preview
- Annotated words should be hyperlinked and clicking on them will open the image viewer to the region of interest in the linked image.
- Upon commit of the publication, the inline facs annotations are transformed to standoff annotations serialized in OAC JSON-LD.
- Note this aspect of the workflow is still a bit up in the air. The intent is to use the facs attribute to simplify the annotation/transcription process, but ideally we would support a parallel process of doing standoff annotations from the start. It may be better/simpler to just preserve them as a separate standoff annotation from the start, and just merge in them in at display/edit time.
