The present enrichment of PG uses as satellite texts the Dorotheos Scholarios's Synoptic Index (DSSI) which act as metadata for PG. Design/methodology/approach The methodology consists of two parts. The first part addresses the DSSI transcription via a proper web tool. The second part is divided into two subsections: the accomplishment of interlinking the printed column numbers of each scanned PG page with its actual filename, which is the build of a matching function, and the build of a web interface for PG, based on the generated Uniform Resource Identi...

The presented case method interconnects the PG with a range of satellite scanned or editable texts to provide a better user navigation experience, easy citation for specific PG page and document interconnections. Although the semantic enrichment can be achieved by using semi-manual methods, this is not recommended due to the fact that these tasks are time consuming and costly. Therefore a new architecture for a better cooperation between libraries and cultural institutions is proposed in order to provide a framework for the application of Artificial Intelligence(AI) and Pattern recognition (PR) techniques for mass enrichment on Large corpora. The proposed framework creates the possibility for the participating libraries to cooperate...

The proposed framework is applied to the unstructured texts of Migne’s Patrologia Graeca (PG) collection, setting PG as an implementation example of the method. Design/methodology/approach The unstructured texts of PG have automatically transformed to a read-only not only Structured Query Language (NoSQL) database with a structure identical to that of a representational state transfer access point interface. The transformation makes it possible to execute queries and retrieve ranked results based on a specialized application of the extended Boolean model. Findings Using a specifically built Web-browser-based search tool, the user can quickly locate ranked relevant fragments of texts with the ability to navigate back and forth. The user can search using the initial part of words and by ignoring the diacritics of t...

[Diktyon num. 42764], of the first half of the 13th century, and Vindobonensis philologicus graecus 107 [Diktyon num. 71221], of the 16th century. The letter should be dated before 1203, when the Crusaders captured the island of Proconnesos. Mesarites thanks the archbishop for having sent him partridge eggs to his house in Constantinople. Nikolaos is fascinated by the large mumber of the partridges, and their eggs, at Proconnesos. He reports that he distributed the eggs he received to the members of his family, and that these had been a cause for quarrel during the meal, especially among the younger banqueters. Were they Nikolaos’ sons? In the concluding lines of the letter, the writer makes a request to his addressee, not without a sense of humour: if he sends him eggs again, it would better be of a single kind and colour, because otherwise there would certainly be quarrels again. As he notes, he is not a gluttonous person or someone who likes to eat alone, and he likes to share what he has with the others. That is something he shares with his addressee, whom he thanks with this letter.
