The Center for Digital Scholarship, with the support of the NEH Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant program, is developing a suite of tools for exploring TEI-encoded texts using the SEASR software framework. SEASR provides a flexible, online environment in which to create and share research tools. The TEI tools for SEASR will enable scholars to parse semantic information encoded within texts in order to reuse it in a variety of visual and linguistic analyses, and to share their results and methods with other scholars.

We are very excited to begin this work, and are grateful to the NEH Office of Digital Humanities for the opportunity. Thanks also to the SEASR team at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) for their support. More information about the project will be available in the coming months.
