A Wiki for Grammatically Indexing Open Source Texts
Posted: May 30th, 2013, 3:59 pm
Hi all,
This is a project of mine that I put online in order to show off it's javascript at a programming interview earlier this week. It's nowhere near complete, is rough in usability, and may have some pages that don't work. I'm about to return to full time work, and I'm pretty busy with a church plant and a few other fun challenges, but while I've got it online, I'd love to take the chance to get some feedback on this.
Simply put, it's a wiki for Greek texts. It currently contains scans of the Nestle 4th edition (BFBS 1904) from archive.org, and an online transcription of that text that someone from this discussion board posted to their website. It has a wizard for indexing texts, which is rudimentary but already identifies the bulk of NT words correctly. Once indexed, a text has mouse-over parsing, auto-generated vocabularies, and (when I update the code from a previous version) grammatical pattern matching. It combines Strongs glosses and the Perseus lexicon for word data.
Here is Rev 22, which is 93% indexed, first in single panel view (for small screens), then in multi-panel view (which takes advantage of wide monitors):

Drop me a line or reply here with any thoughts whatsoever.
Nigel.
