Workflow to work with the PATRIMONIVM-Editor
The PATRIMONIVM-Editor has been created by Alberto Dalla Rosa and Vincent Razanajao (https://patrimonium.huma-num.fr/atlas/editor/) to be a modular, customizable and integrated web application for the management of epigraphic corpora, based on the eXist-db platform. It creates TEI XML on the basis of EpiDoc, allowing the data to be used in digital editions. Based on our experiences with a customized version of the “eStudium. A virtual research environment for Historians” for the epigraphic project “Celtic Divine Names in Latin Inscriptions of the Military Zone in Germania Superior on the Left Bank of the River Rhine. Religious Phenomena in a Cultural Contact Zone“ (FWF funded project P 34422-G), this workflow will document the process both for the scientific, and probably non-tech savvy user, who is filling the editor with information, as well as for the user tasked with postprocessing the information available in the editor for the online publication.
For our first project “Celtic Divine Names in the Inscriptions of the Roman Province Germania Inferior. A Case Study on Religion in the Context of Cultural Contacts and Cultural Transfer” (FWF funded project P 29274-G25) we used single MC Word documents for every entry, which then were consolidated into a single MC Excel document for the conversion to XML by our partners at ZIM (Zentrum für Informationsmodellierung – Centre for Information Modelling) and the following online publication on GAMS (Geisteswissenschaftliches Asset Management System – Humanities’ Asset Management System; https://gams.uni-graz.at/context:fercan ; see picture 10). This method was redundant, cumbersome and prone to errors, especially with regard to required changes. With the PATRIMONIVM-Editor, these redundancies are removed and problems occurring during the postprocessing are easily identified, communicated and solved. (For the process of adapting the PATRIMONIVM-Editor, see either the GitHub documentation https://github.com/DigitalHumanitiesCraft/PatrimoniumEditorFercan/, or "Customizing the Patrimonium-Editor" on SSHOM)

The SSH Open Marketplace is maintained and will be further developed by three European Research Infrastructures - DARIAH, CLARIN and CESSDA - and their national partners. It was developed as part of the "Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud" SSHOC project, European Union's Horizon 2020 project call H2020-INFRAEOSC-04-2018, grant agreement #823782.
