Description

The Apparatus Explorer is an web application that:

  • visualizes the XML output of ITSEE’s Collation Editor so that it appears as an ECM-styled digital critical apparatus with the addition of a graph that visualizes any encoded genealogical relationships.
  • enables a user to upload their own collation files and edit genealogical relationships of readings.
  • provides a platform for any user to publish their digital critical apparatus for public viewing.
  • allows a user to edit most elements of the apparatus including variation unit indices, reading names, reading text, reading type, and witnesses

The Apparatus Explorer is foremost a tool for visualizing a digital critical apparatus and editing its data. The long-term goal, however, is that this would grow into a platform for textual scholars and researchers to publish their collation data in a user-friendly interface. The Apparatus Explorer embraces the fact that it is not a print apparatus and leans into visualizations only possible in a digital medium.

This is a standalone version of the collation editor. It works with the local file system on your computer. A small example of a single Greek verse is included as a sample file. The collation editor is a GUI wrapper around collateX. A version of that software is included with this editor.
