Our Platform and Publisher
LEMDO Platform
Para1The Douai Shakespeare Manuscript Project (DSMP) anthology has been encoded on and
built by the Linked Early Modern Drama Online (LEMDO) platform, hosted by the Humanities
Computing and Media Centre at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada.
LEMDO editions are encoded in the XML encoding language of the Text Encoding Initiative
(TEI). LEMDO’s customization of TEI P5 is designed for editing early modern dramatic
texts and editorial paratexts. LEMDO uses a Subversion repository to keep files under
version control, and a Jenkins Continuous Integration Server to produce anthologies
in the form of static, Endings-compliant websites. DSMP has adopted the periodic static release model, whereby we will release
versions of the anthology as new content is ready for publication.
Para2LEMDO anthologies have no server-side dependencies. A release of the DSMP anthology—a
bundle of self-contained HTML pages—can be downloaded onto your device and read on
a browser even without an internet connection. If you wish to have a self-contained
set of pages, ask Line Cottegnies to grant you permission and then the LEMDO Team to download the files as a zipped folder.
