PAGE2TEI was created and is maintained by Dario Kampkaspar and is licensed under the MIT license.

How to use

Apply page2tei-0.xsl to the METS File:

java -jar saxon9he.jar -xsl:page2tei-0.xsl -s:mets.xml -o:[your tei file].xml

Additional stylesheets can be applied to the output created by the basic transformation:

• combine-continued.xsl (or set parameter combine=true()) — try to combine entities that are split over a line break into one element
• simplify-coordinates.xsl (parameter bounding-rectangles=true() by default) — convert polygons into bounding rectangles
• tokenize.xsl (or set parameter tokenize=true()) — perform (very basic!) whitespace tokenization

Parameters

You can set the following parameters when calling page2tei-0.xsl (via command line or via an oXygen scenario; in oXygen, the parameters should be marked as “XPath“):

• rs (default: true()): create rs type="..." for person/place/org (default) or persName etc.
• tokenize (default: false()): Whether to run white space tokenization
• combine (default: false()): Whether to combine entities over line breaks
• ab (default: false()): If false(), region types that correspond to valid TEI elements will be returned as this element; types that do not correspond to a TEI element will be returned as tei:ab[@type]. If set to true(), all region types (except for paragraph, heading) will be returned as tei:ab.
• word-coordinates (default: false()): If true(), export the (estimated) word coordinates to the facsimile section.
• bounding-rectangles (default: true()): Whether to create bounding rectangles from polygons (default: true())
• withoutBaseline (default: false()): Whether to export lines without baseline or not
• withoutTextline (default: false()): Whether to export regions without text lines
