Platform and Publisher

LEMDO Platform

Para1The Early Modern England Encyclopedia (EMEE) anthology is encoded on the Linked Early Modern Drama Online (LEMDO) platform and built by Humanities Computing and Media Centre at the University of Victoria (UVic). 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 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. EMEE has adopted the periodic static release model, whereby new versions (editions) of the anthology are released as new content is ready for publication.
Para2LEMDO anthologies have no server-side dependencies. A release of the EMEE anthology—a bundle of self-contained HTML pages—can be downloaded onto your device and read on a browser even without an internet connection. Contact the LEMDO Team for more information if you want to download a static version of the EMEE site.
