forTEXT - digital research environment for collaborative text exploration

forTEXT的目标是开发和提供给研究界一个虚拟平台，专注于语言学文本探索的两个核心启发式活动：协作文本注释和文本分析。 forTEXT在概念上基于“解释性标记”的概念（Piez 2010），因此旨在通过一种有意识地承认非确定性、话语性标记和文本意义探索的解释性实践的方法来支持这些活动。遵循这种非确定性的方法，forTEXT回应了一个被迄今为止为人文文本研究开发的大多数数字化工具和平台所忽视的关键需求。除了实践方面，培养对话语解释学实践细节的方法论敏感性也是一种战略必要性：forTEXT的概念与传统的解释学实践兼容，旨在促进接受数字人文工具和服务的语言学，a以及其他以文本为导向的人文学科。第一阶段为期36个月的项目申请得到了积极的评价，DFG于2016年10月12日在当时的LIS（文献信息系统）资助额度范围内完全接受。目前的申请涉及第二个项目阶段，并继续DFG资助共24个月。第二阶段的目标被映射到五个不同的工作包（AP）：-AP 1-F：在CATMA中实现/集成基于NLP和ML的自动化注释功能（第一阶段的溢出）-AP 2-F：收集、描述和传播用于研究英文、法文和其他非德文文本和语料库的数字化工具和方法AP 3-F：与独立编辑项目“Dehmel digital”合作，原型实施基于手稿的DH工作流程（Julia Nantke教授，汉堡大学）-AP 4-F：forTEXT/CATMA-社交媒体战略的延续和扩展-AP 5-F：forTEXT/CATMA（2022 ff）在技术和战略/体制框架方面的可持续长期背景化

The objective of forTEXT is to develop and provide to the research community a virtual platform focusing on two of the core heuristic activities of philological text exploration: collaborative text annotation and text analysis. forTEXT is conceptually based on the notion of ‚hermeneutic markup‘ (Piez 2010) and therefore aims to support these activities through a method which consciously acknowledges the hermeneutic practice of non- deterministic, discursive markup and exploration of textual meaning. In following this non- deterministic approach forTEXT responds to a key desideratum ignored by most of the digital tools and platforms hitherto developed for humanities text research. Apart from the practical aspect, developing methodological sensitivity for the specifics of discursive hermeneutic practices is also a strategic necessity: forTEXT’s conceptual compatibility with traditional hermeneutic practices aims to promote acceptance for digital humanities tools and services in the philologies, a well as in other text oriented humanities disciplines.The funding application for the first project phase of 36 months was evaluated positively and accepted in full by the DFG on 12.10.2016, in the context of the LIS (literature information system) funding line in place at that time. The current application pertains to the second project phase and a continuation of DFG-funding for a total of 24 months. The aims of this second period are mapped onto five distinct work packages (APs):- AP1-F: Implementation/integration of NLP- and ML-based automated annotation functionalities in CATMA (overflow from phase 1)- AP2-F: Collecting, describing and disseminating digital tools and methods for the study of English, French and other non-German texts and corporaAP3-F: Prototypical implementation of a manuscript-based DH workflow in co-operation with the independent editorial project „Dehmel digital“ (Prof. Julia Nantke, Universität Hamburg)- AP4-F: Continuation and extension of the forTEXT/CATMA-Social Media Strategy- AP5-F: Sustainable long-term contextualisation of forTEXT/CATMA (2022ff) in terms of the technological and strategic/institutional framework
