The “Gothenburg model”: A modular architecture for computer-aided collation tools
Developers of CollateX and Juxta met in 2009 at a joint workshop of the EU-funded research projects COST Action 32 and Interedition in Gothenburg. They wanted to agree on a modular software architecture, so these two as well as similar projects interested in collation software would have a common base for collaborating in the development of needed tools. As a first result the participants identified the following 4 modules/tasks, which were found to be essential to computer-aided collation. The underlying ideas might consequently need to be discussed in the context of encoding the in- and output of these modules as part of – or pre-stage to – a critical apparatus.
