Epigraf is a research platform for collecting, annotating, linking and publishing multimodal text data. The data model supports research databases ranging from epistolary editions to social media corpora. Epigraf is currently used primarily for editing epigraphic data - inscriptions in connection with the objects to which they are attached. It includes a publication system for various document formats such as Word or TEI, structured JSON, XML and CSV data, and triples in TTL, JSON-LD and RDF/XML.

• Epigraf is an open source project that is under active development. The developer documentation will guide you through the installation process and provide an overview of the technology stack. The source code is released on GitHub after major updates. We welcome collaborative development and look forward to hearing from you.

Epigraf emerged from the inter-academic edition project “The German Inscriptions of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period”. It is used in the nine inscription research centers of the six participating academies of sciences. The application is being developed by the Digital Academy of Sciences and Literature | Mainz and the Digital Media & Computational Methods Research Group at the University Münster.
