The Digital Academy of Literature (DAL) ? published in 1998- is a
state-aided project. Fundamentally its goal is to support the hungarian
contemporary authors in doing their creation in peaceful, relaxed
circumstances. In exchange for the support, the works of these writers,
authors can be freely downloaded from the Internet. DAL-'s editorial
team is working on this issue, namely they are working on text
digitalization.
In 2006 the head of DAL had been changed, which brought the
initiation of XHTML form instead of SGML form and changed the so far
used equipments to modern, standard tools.
However, for some reasons, the process of the switch have been
layed off. Since then the problems are unsolved, like creating uniform
text files, producing basic functions, for instance the automatic
publication, or the function of searching.
We integrated the software tools used earlier into the new
publication system, and kept using the procedure of working, which
worked out well through the years. The softvers and procedures have
been completed and modified, considering the unsolved previous problems
and the uniform,informational and expansional technology conception of
Museum of Literature (ML).
For the structural, formal analisation and the conversion into
XHTML form of the new works and for the alteration of the former works
is used the Oxygen editor. Regularly there is an update for the working
versions in SVN version controll system. Works that are ready are
marked for publication. Periodically JaDox ? used as the HunTéka
integrated library system's electronic library modul by ML ? takes over
these works which are ready for publication from SVN system, then saves
and works them up, this way (embedded in ML portal) makes them
searchable and browsable both by their metadata and fulltext.
