Menestrel

takakokato

Ménestrel (standing for “médiévistes sur le net : sources, travaux et références en ligne”) is a French network providing an international online resource directory for medievalists.

Created in 1997, its primary aim is to develop an information network of medieval studies on the internet. The core group was gathered by the journal Le Médiéviste et l’Ordinateur and associated researchers and professionals from the library and information sciences.

Aims

  • promote the development of European resources for Medieval Studies (esp. in French, but not exclusively),
  • increase the international visibility of Medieval Studies,
  • create a free, critical, online directory of resources available on the internet
  • promote the integration of Information and communications technology in Medieval Studies (for researchers and students)

Organisation

The network is organised with a Scientific Board, an Editorial Board, the Redactors community and occasional contributors.

  • The Scientific Board gathers 9 scientific experts from several European institutions. As of Febr. 2012: Jacques BERLIOZ (École nationale des Chartes), Alain DIERKENS (Université libre de Bruxelles), Michele C. FERRARI (Mediëvistenverband, Erlangen), Claude GAUVARD (Université Paris 1), Véronique GAZEAU (Centre Michel de Boüard – CRAHAM Caen), Jean-Philippe GENET (Laboratoire de Médiévistique Occidentale de Paris), Pierre MONNET (École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales), Agostino PARAVICINI-BAGLIANI (SISMEL, Florence-Lausanne), Jean-Claude SCHMITT (École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales).
  • The Editorial Board is elected by the community and coordinates the activities of the network as well as the editorial coherence of the website.
  • The community (Assemblée des rédacteurs) gathers 78 redactors, being responsible for thematic rubrics.
  • Contributors: authors of some part of the text, but not being responsible for maintaining and updating the resources

The directory has 4 main categories:

Polish historical corpus

takakokato

The corpus uses data made available by PSNC Digital Libraries Team, namely a set of full text versions of selected Polish historical documents from four digital libraries in Poland. The texts has been prepared in the framework of the IMPACT project and used as so called Ground-Truth for evaluation and training of OCR programs.

The Poliqarp search engine provides access to two versions of the IMPACT Polish GT corpus: so called one-dimensional and two-dimensional. Together with some dictionaries of Polish they are available on the Poliqarp server at http://poliqarp.wbl.klf.uw.edu.pl/.
