Collation Works

Submitted by Joel Kalvesmaki on

CollateX-based text collation client. CollateX, run on an server independent from the URL above, is a powerful, fully automatic, baseless text collation engine for multiple witnesses. A second collation technique, ncritic, provides a slightly different baseless text collation. Each engine complements each other nicely. The user can use different files, even URLs, then output the result in GraphML, TEI, JSON, HTML, or SVG. Fuzzy matching is an option.
