Tokenize a Latin edition

Prepare a corpus

Load the libraries you’ll use, and create a digital text corpus as explained in this tutorial

import edu.holycross.shot.cite._
import edu.holycross.shot.ohco2._
import edu.holycross.shot.mid.latinmodel._

val catalog = "editions/catalog.cex"
val citation = "editions/citation.cex"
val editions = "editions"

val repo = TextRepositorySource.fromFiles(catalog,citation,editions)

Select and tokenize an XML edition

The text repository includes a catalog and a corpus of textual data. Identify an XML edition you want to tokenize with a CtsUrn, and select its contents with the twiddle operator ~~. This creates a new corpus containing only the text contents with matching URNs.

The LatinTeiReader object can tokenize an entire latin corpus in a single line:

val urn = CtsUrn("urn:cts:chant:antiphonary.einsiedeln121.text_xml:")

val eins121 = repo.corpus ~~ urn
val tokens = LatinTeiReader.fromCorpus(eins121)
