All the documents described in this essay are available here: http://www.4shared.com/file/213276484/156f569f/sampleCoding.html

Synopsis

In collaboration with Digital Artist Ira Greenberg, I am building a Poetry Visualization Tool (http://unixgen.muohio.edu/~poetess/vmodel/vmodel.html). He is building the visualizations in the Processing language; I am encoding the poetry to be visualized in an xml code that is an extension of TEI, with "pa" (Poetess Archive / http://unixgen.muohio.edu/~poetess) elements added into it. What I offer here is not the processing code but the extended TEI and its schema that can be used to code the meter, sound, tropology, and syntax of poetry.

Features

This is simply an extended tagset for analyzing poetry, at the moment, though the tag set can be used by a visualization tool in development at http://www.iragreenberg.com/ira_greenberg_data/code/poetess/index.html

User commentary

Please sign all comments.

System requirements

The Poetry Visualization tool can be run on Mac, Windows, or Linux.

Source code and licensing

Source Code consists basically in an extended tei schema (PAViz.rnc) and four sample coded versions of John Keats's Ode on a Grecian Urn (meterOde.xml, tropologyOde.xml, soundOde.xml, and syntaxOde.xml). All of these documents including documentation are available in the folder called sampleCoding available at:

http://www.4shared.com/file/213276484/156f569f/sampleCoding.html

This is a pre-release version of things, and I welcome comments.

The finished tool will have a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License.


Support for TEI

Any poem coded in TEI can be coded in this way. Simply open your TEI document, change the schema to the schema provided, PAViz.rnc, and then make use of the elements you find described in the instruction document and in the teiHeaders of the four sample versions of Keats's Ode.

Language(s)

(What computer language is the tool written in? -- Processing (What language(s) are used in the interface?) -- no inteface yet (What language(s) are used in the documentation?) -- MSW

Documentation

See "Coding Poetry for the Poetess Archive" in the sampleCoding file available at 4Shared: http://www.4shared.com/file/213276484/156f569f/sampleCoding.html

When released, the tool will be announced here: http://unixgen.muohio.edu/~poetess/vmodel/vmodel.html
