DIGITAL LIBRARY
Muruca is a turnkey product for publishing digital resources on the Web
It is a flexible framework based on core and additional modules, all designed to answer the specific needs of scholars, editors and publishers.
The following Muruca modules can be used to build your own Digital Scholarly Edition:
TOOLS
ODT Template
We customize ODT templates to facilitate the work of XML encoders.
ODT files are then converted into XML-TEI files directly from the Muruca platform, by customizing OxGarage, an open source tool.
Edition Visualization Technology - EVT
EVT is a light-weight software program for creating image-based web editions of manuscripts.
The application provides instruments to fully take advantage of manuscript scans and editions (such as a magnifying lens, a general zoom, hot spots, image-text link). EVT also supports a simple and yet intuitive way of showing markups and annotations (e.g. to highlight correspondences between transcribed texts and facsimiles).
TEI P5 encoded texts is supported as a data input format.
Muruca core
Configuration of the back-end: workflow(s), users, import of the resources, multilingual options.

Advanced Search Options
Powered by Solr, an open source search engine , we offer different customizations (advanced search options, search for autocomplete), on the basis of your particular needs.

Pundit can be embedded into the Digital Library and customized considering the specific needs of the editorial team.
