  • quod: A Tool for Querying and Organising Digitised Historical Documents

    EN
    This blog post from EHRI introduces 'quod' (querying OCRed documents), a prototype Python-based command line tool for OCRing and querying digitised historical documents, which can be used to organise large collections and improve information about provenance. To demonstrate its use in context, this blog takes the reader through a case study of the International Tracing Service, showing workflows and the steps taken from start to finish.

    EN
    This blog examines TEITOK, which is a corpus framework used as an alternative to Omeka.
