title: Fontenay Dataset. Original Charters From Fontenay before 1213

description: This data set encompasses 104 images and transcriptions of digital images of original charters from the Cistercian abbey Fontenay in Burgundy (France), dating mainly from the 12th c. and until 1213. The original data set was created as part of the ANR ORIFLAMMS (ANR-12-CORP-0010) project. Texts were transcribed in the original TEI-XML format, rendering both abbreviated and expanded forms of the original text. The alignement data was produced by merging coordinates created through the Oriflamms software. A new version was prepared in March-June 2022 as part of the research for the following paper: <strong>Camps</strong>, Jean-Baptiste, Chahan<strong> Vidal-Gorène</strong>, Dominique <strong>Stutzmann</strong>, Marguerite <strong>Vernet</strong>, and Ariane <strong>Pinche</strong>. « Data Diversity in Handwritten Text Recognition: Challenge or Opportunity? » In <em>Digital Humanities 2022.

[http://oriflamms.hypotheses.org/1510]. <br> <strong>img</strong><br> Folder with 104 images. Provided as a separated zip file because TIF files may not be useful to all.<br> These images are scans of actual documents. All documents are preserved in the Departmental Archives of Côte d'Or (Archives départementales de la Côte-d'Or (https://archives.cotedor.fr/). Digitization was done by Frédéric Petot. The source of the photograph, i.e. the shelfmark of the medieval document, is provided in the filename. "FRAD021" is the code for " Archives départementales de la Côte-d'Or", then the actual shelfmark is given. They all start with "15_H" as "15 H" is the archival fonds from the Fontenay abbey. Then the sequential number has no semantic. "FRAD021_15_H_257_0006" means the image is the sixth reproducing documents from the archival unit "15 H 257" in the departmental archives of Côte d'Or (France). It is also formalized as TEI &lt;msIdentifier/&gt; element in the files of the /texts/ folder.<br> These images are also integrated in the BVMM (Bibliothèque Virtuelle des Manuscrits Médiévaux) as IIIF compliant images. <strong>texts</strong><br> Original TEI-XML edition with identifiers for all paragraphs, lines, words in the `texts/fontenay-w.xml` file, and also for characters in the `fontenay-c.xml` file. <strong>/zones/, /img_links/</strong><br> zones described as coordinates on the images (/img/ folder) and files linking between the edition in /texts/ folder and coordinates in the /zones/ folder. <strong>/ontologies/, /ontologies_link/, /oriflamms/</strong><br> Here, folders are present, but the data is not created (for ontologies). <strong>/alto/</strong><br> ALTO files were created from the preexisting TEI files and combine the coordinates and the text in single files where the text is flat and rendered at a line level, with/without expansion/abbrevations for the above mentioned research: Camps, Jean-Baptiste, Chahan Vidal-Gorène, Dominique Stutzmann, Marguerite Vernet, et Ariane Pinche. « Data Diversity in Handwritten Text Recognition: Challenge or Opportunity? » In <em>Digital Humanities 2022.
