Coordinated Promotion Initiative for the Further Development of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Techniques

协调促进倡议的目的是描述程序和制定准则，以实现最佳工作流程以及与文化遗产有关的过程和元数据的深远标准化，并准备在概念上完成将德国书面文化遗产转变为机器可读的形式（结构化全文）。在此背景下，项目合作伙伴为DFG第一阶段征求建议书第二阶段（模块项目阶段）的项目建立了一个协调和支持结构。根据项目第一阶段确定的主要愿望，有必要填补研究与实践之间的差距。因此，协调推广倡议的主要任务是支持模块项目，特别是使这些项目的成果以尽可能简单和透明的形式提供给广泛的用户，从而大大增加过去几年发展起来的“新的OCR世界”的传播。DFG发起的将dvd中列出的印刷品全文数字化的倡议的观点是，可以在以前未达到的层面上科学地使用文本和结构数据。这里提出的工作计划代表了迈向OCR 2.0的下一步。

The aim of the coordinated promotion initiative is to describe procedures and develop guidelines in order to achieve an optimal workflow as well as a far-reaching standardization of OCR-related processes and metadata, and to prepare the conceptually complete transformation of the written German cultural heritage into a machine-readable form (structured full text). With this background, the project partners set up a coordination and support structure for projects in the second phase of the DFG's call for proposals (module project phase) in the first phase.According to the primary desideratum identified in the first phase of the project, it is necessary to fill the gap between research and practice. Accordingly, the coordinated promotion initiative sees its main task in supporting module projects, in particular in making the results of these projects available to a wide range of users in the simplest and most transparent form possible, thus significantly increasing the dissemination of the "new OCR world" that has developed over the past few years. The perspective of the initiative launched by the DFG to digitise the full text of the prints listed in the VDs is the availability of text and structural data that can be used scientifically in previously unattained dimensions. The work programme presented here represents the next step towards OCR 2.0.
