Semantic Austen

An annotated Digital Library

The Project

Semantic Austen is a Semantic Digital Library of Jane Austen's surviving manuscripts.
The project takes into account the work done by the Scholarly Digital Edition Jane Austen's Fiction Manuscripts and enriches it with Semantic Web technologies and LOD.
The manuscripts included in the Digital Collection have been processed and transcribed with a Handwritten Text Recognition model designed ad hoc for Austen's drafts and resulting from an annotation campaign carried out on Transkribus.
