Abstract

[English Abstract]

The paper is concerned with the development and exploitation of computer corpora of data from the Medieval Slavic manuscripts. The paper stresses on the ways how different information on manuscript studies could be encoded, how that encoding should be represented for interchange, and what kind of methods of searching are used. The further development of the Sofia Computerized Manuscript Corpus of Data is related with the integration of different aspects of language, text and paleography research of medieval Slavic manuscripts. The paper presents some results from the ongoing work and proposes new ideas for the further development of such a projects with Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) in the framework of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). The paper will focus also on standardization problems, copyright questions, teamwork organization and methodological difficulties in the development of electronic resources and their implementation in the university education.
