TextGrid-a modular platform for collaborative textual editing

TextGrid equips textual criticism with a fundamental infrastructure and a powerful set of software tools based on the evaluation of existing solutions and embracing the grid paradigm. Its technology and services effectively support text scholars in their daily working processes. With its distinctive features and being a native grid project for the humanities, TextGrid roots in domain sciences including textual scholarship, the Digital Library as well as the e-Science communities, and it aims to span the continuum between them. After its launch in early 2006, TextGrid has three years to achieve its goals and make e-Humanities a reality. During all this time the project will be open and invite participation, to attain a generic software platform that can be used and re-used in multiple contexts.
