Example Projects

Two example projects demonstrate the EFES-NG Prototype with real-world EpiDoc/SigiDoc collections, both deployed to GitHub pages.

SigiDoc Feind Collection

A trilingual (English, German, Greek) digital edition of Byzantine seals from the Robert Feind Collection.

• Repository: olvidalo/efes-ng-sigidoc-feind
• Live site: olvidalo.github.io/efes-ng-sigidoc-feind
• Collection: ~320 SigiDoc-encoded seals
• Languages: English, German, Greek
• Stylesheets: SigiDoc/Stylesheets (submodule)

This is a re-implementation of the original SigiDoc Feind collection for demonstration purposes.

It showcases:

• Multi-language support with per-language metadata, indices, and search
• Five entity indices (persons, places, dignities, offices, invocations)
• Bibliography with detail pages and cross-referencing
• Faceted search with 12+ facets and date range filtering
• Structured entity index fields with linked external resources (Pleiades, GeoNames, TIB)
• Authority file integration (geography, dignities, offices, invocations, bibliography)

This is an expanded version of the project built step-by-step in the Tutorial.

Inscriptions of Roman Cyrenaica (IRCyr)

A single-language digital edition of Greek and Latin inscriptions from Roman Cyrenaica.

• Repository: olvidalo/efes-ng-ircyr
• Collection: ~900 EpiDoc inscriptions
• Languages: English
• Stylesheets: EpiDoc/Stylesheets (submodule)

This is a re-implementation of IRCyr2020 for demonstration purposes.

It showcases:

• Large collection processing (~900 documents with 14 index types)
• TEI text pages (non-inscription content rendered alongside the collection)
• Complex entity indices including genealogical person records, findspot hierarchies, age-at-death data, and numerals, with entity index extraction based on the original EFES project's XSLT.
• Abbreviation index with multiple expansions per entry
• Full-text search across Greek and Latin inscriptions

Using the Examples

To run an example project locally:

1. Clone the repository (with submodules):

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/olvidalo/efes-ng-sigidoc-feind.git

2. Open the project folder in the EFES-NG desktop application, or run from the command line:

   cd efes-ng-sigidoc-feind
   efes-ng run

The example projects are good starting points for understanding how EFES-NG projects are structured. Compare their pipeline.xml and metadata-config.xsl files to see how different collections configure the same framework.
