A TEI-Based OCR Correction Tool Using GitHub for Collaborative Digital Humanities: Practical Implementation and Applications
摘要
This paper presents a practical OCR correction tool developed for digital humanities projects, designed to handle TEI/XML texts generated by various OCR systems including the National Diet Library’s Kotenseki OCR (NDLOCR). By adopting TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) as its data format and leveraging GitHub as the backend infrastructure, the tool enables collaborative editing with version control capabilities across diverse projects. We demonstrate the tool’s effectiveness through real-world application in the Yurenja Catalog Database project. Our approach addresses critical challenges in OCR post-processing while maintaining interoperability with existing TEI-compatible tools and providing a sustainable framework for collaborative text correction in digital humanities.
