TextGridLab 2.0

Editors and Tools			Infrastructure Components
	Edit XML files with an easy-to-use XML Editor. The files can reside on the local computer or in the grid. Users can switch easily between a more technical view with tags and attributes and a structural view that is oriented towards standard text editing applications. A Unicode Character Table enables the user to search, copy and insert symbols from the Unicode character set.			A powerful Project and User Management (file and rights management module) allows users to create new projects in the Project Management Module. Existing projects can be managed i.e., project members can be deleted or added and endowed with predefined roles. Users can also set access rights for TextGrid objects.
	A Text-Image-Link Editor supports the XML Editor by linking text sequences with image sections in order to create files that contain text elements and topographic descriptions.			The Project Browser / Navigator is always present in TextGridLab. It gives users easy access to all the material related to the project(s) to which they are assigned. In addition, the Navigator allows their easy administration. Thus, it can be a starting point in TextGridLab.
	The Dictionary Search Tool allows you to search in a number of different dictionaries within the TextGrid virtual research environment. The dictionary network “Wörterbuchnetz” (www.woerterbuchnetz.de) in Trier has been integrated into the TextGridLab for this purpose.			The Search Tool retrieves structural data and metadata. Semantic searches based on RDF are also possible.
	The web-based image viewer DigiLib contains a gallery view of a collection of images, zooming, scaling, marking, and reference features. The Beta 2011-12 integrates customised viewing and zooming (context menu: "ShowImage (digilib TG)"			The Metadata Editor is used to create and manage the metadata for TextGrid objects. This metadata is used in TextGrid for cross-project searches. The metadata input form can be easily adjusted to meet individual needs.
Beta 2011-12	The Note Editor MEISE allows for the graphical encoding, editing and (basic) viewing of MEI encoded scores, facilitating, amongst others, the visualisation of variants.			With the Aggregation Composer users are able to choose and put together objects via drag and drop instead of looking for single objects dispersed in several projects. Objects relevant for a certain topic or research interest can now be aggregated in the TextGridLab. These objects appear in the Navigator as an aggregation, which can be edited, expanded and dismantled again -- without deleting the objects within.
Beta 2011-12	The Workflow Tool enables the semi-automatic processing of data. The current Beta offers the following workflow features: OCR of Gothic type, sorting as well as a Named Entity Recognition.			An Import/Export Tool allows you to import local data into the Repository and export it to your desktop. It provides an easy-to-use input screen for entering the metadata.
Beta 2011-12	The Lemmatizer enables the automatised determination of a given German word's lemma, its basic morphologic form and other morphologic characteristics. The tool supports the lemmatisation of single words via the XML editor, as well as of the automatised lemmatising of a whole text.			Intermediate results can be documented as revisions, so that changes are traceable.
Beta 2011-12	COSMAS II (Corpus Search, Management and Analysis System) features a database search tool for German text corpora. Additionally, the tool allows customised search in TextGrid-based texts and corpora.			The publication (in the repository) is supported by an automated metadata validation.
Beta 2011-12	LEXUS (Language Archiving Technology) is a lexicon creation, analysis and visualisation tool.
