GreekSchools: Making Traditional Papyrology Machine Actionable through Domain-Driven Design

Traditional papyrology has optimized its ecdotic methods to study papyrological documents (diplomatic edition) and, simultaneously, the corresponding texts (critical edition). Prominent initiatives, such as Papyri.info, are striving to find an optimal trade-off between familiarity for traditional scholars and machine actionability for automatic processing. The approach proposed throughout this paper is based on the Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and, particularly, on the DSL-based Digital Scholarly Editions (DSEs). The work aims to create a comprehensive textual scholarship workflow implemented in a modular web environment named CoPhi Editor. The ERC GreekSchools project serves as the scientific testbench for co-design our editing environment with a multidisciplinary team of papyrologists, philologists, linguists, and other humanists.
