Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-5"> We are developing the <i> Edition Production Technology (EPT) </i> , an integrated development environment for building Image-based Electronic Editions (IBEE) (Kiernan 2005), through the <i> Electronic Boethius </i> (Kiernan and Porter 2005) and ARCHway Projects (Kiernan et al. 2004; Kiernan et al. 2005) at the University of Kentucky. We built the EPT using Java, and it operates through the <i> Eclipse </i> platform, bene&filig;ting from <i> Eclipse </i> &rsquo;s open architecture and portability. Currently the <i> EPT </i> runs on <i> Windows XP </i> , <i> Linux </i> , and <i> Mac OS X </i> .</div><div class="line" id="line-23"> <br/></div><div class="line" id="line-25"> The goal of the <i> EPT </i> is to provide software support for building image-based electronic editions of cultural manuscripts. Starting with images and text, the <i> EPT </i> enables the editor to create an electronic edition with complex, pervasive XML encodings, search the electronic edition, link text and images, and deploy the completed electronic edition using &filig;lters and XSLT.</div><div class="line" id="line-31"> <br/></div><div class="line" id="line-33"> A fully functional demo version of the <i> EPT </i> software suite for PC, including sample projects, is available for download at &lt; <a href="http://rch01.rch.uky.edu/~ept/download"> http://rch01.rch.uky.edu/~ept/download </a> &gt;.</div>
