DINAH, A Philological Platform for the Construction of Multi-structured Documents

We consider how the construction of multi-structured documents implies the definition of structuration vocabularies. In a multiusers context, the growth of these vocabularies has to be controlled. Therefore, we propose using the trace of users activity to limit this growth and document the vocabularies. A user will, for example, be able to follow and annotate the track of a vocabulary concept: from its creation to the last time it was used. From a broader point of view, this work is grounded on our Web based philological platform, DINAH, and is mainly motivated by our collaboration with a group of philosophers studying the handwritten manuscripts of Jean-Toussaint Desanti.
