[CODE4LIB] Introducing TILE 0.9 - redesigned website | public release

[James Neal]

MITH (Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities) is excited to
announce the redesigned website for and public release of The Text-Image
Linking Environment (TILE)  <
http://mith.umd.edu/tile/>, a
web-based tool for creating and editing image-based electronic editions and
digital archives of humanities texts. This initial release of TILE 0.9
features tools for importing and exporting transcript lines and images of
text, an image markup tool, a semi-automated line recognizer that tags
regions of text within an image, and plugin architecture to extend the
functionality of the software.

There are a number of ways to try TILE 0.9 and learn more. You can visit the
MITH-hosted sandbox version that allows you to use the tool online, or
download a customizable version of the software.

If you’d like to learn more, we’ve made end-user and developer
documentation
  available, and we’re ready to
answer your questions on our forums  <
http://mith.umd.edu/tile/forums/>.

Supported by an NEH Preservation and Access Grant, TILE is a collaboration
between the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (Doug
Reside, Dave Lester) and Indiana University (Dot Porter, John Walsh).
