dsims@uceng.UC.EDU (david l sims) (08/09/90)
The following article is a summary of the responses I received to my
query for text archive sites. Thanks go to those who replied to me. You
were most helpful.
This summary contains two articles. The first one provides information on the
Oxford Text Archives. The second article provides a list of text archive sites
around the world (search for "Article" since Article 1 is quite long).
Enjoy.
----- Article 1 of 2-----
WHAT IS THE OXFORD TEXT ARCHIVE?
The Oxford Text Archive is a facility provided by Oxford
University Computing Service. It has no connexion with Oxford
University Press or any other commercial organisation and
exists to serve the interests of the academic community by
providing archival and dissemination facilities for
electronic texts at low cost.
The Archive offers scholars long term storage and
maintenance of their electronic texts free of charge. It
manages non-commercial distribution of electronic texts and
information about them on behalf of its depositors.
WHAT TEXTS DOES IT CONTAIN?
The Archive contains electronic versions of literary
works by many major authors in Greek, Latin, English and a
dozen or more other languages. It contains collections and
corpora of unpublished materials prepared by field workers in
linguistics. It contains electronic versions of some standard
reference works. It has copies of texts and corpora prepared
by individual scholars and major research projects worldwide.
The total size of the Archive exceeds a gigabyte and there
are about a thousand titles in its catalogue.
WHERE CAN I GET A CATALOGUE?
The Catalogue is available in paper form by post from the address
below. New editions are published at least twice a year. It is
also available in electronic form, either as a formatted file
for display at a terminal or in a tagged form using SGML. These
files are available from a number of different places under
various names. For EARN or INTERNET users, the most convenient
source is probably LISTSERV@BROWNVM which makes the files available
under the names OTALIST FORMAT and OTALIST SGML. If you are a JANET
user you can consult the list interactively on HUMBUL, or request
a copy from OXFORD.VAX (the filenames are OX$DOC:TEXTARCHIVE.LIST
and OX$DOC:TEXTARCHIVE.SGML respectively). Wherever you are, you can
send a note to ARCHIVE@VAX.OXFORD.AC.UK specifying which form you
want.
WHAT ARE THE TEXTS LIKE?
Because the texts come from so many different sources,
they are held in many different formats. The texts also vary
greatly in their accuracy and the features which have been
encoded. Some have been proof read to a high standard, while
others may have come straight from an optical scanner, Some
have been extensively tagged with special purpose analytic
codes, and others simply designed to mimic the appearance of
the printed source.
HOW USABLE ARE THE TEXTS?
Most of the texts can be used with commonly available
text indexing and concordancing software, or can easily be
converted for that purpose. All texts are held as `plain
ASCII' files on magnetic tape, with no special formatting
codes. Documentation of the coding scheme used in each text
is supplied with it, wherever possible.
WHAT ABOUT COPYRIGHT?
Most of the texts in the Archive are subject to some form
of copyright restriction. The Archive's obligations to its
depositors generally restrict use of the texts to private
study and research. In some cases, depositors have also
authorised use of the texts in teaching. In all cases, users
of the texts must agree not to use the texts commercially and
not to redistribute copies of them without consultation.
HOW DO I ACCESS THE TEXTS?
If you are a registered user of Oxford University
Computing Service (i.e. you have an account on OXFORD.VAX),
just send an e-mail message to the username ARCHIVE
specifying which texts you want to use and for what purpose.
Copies of texts in categories U and A only are also available
to scholars elsewhere, as described further below. Copies of
texts are usually distributed on magnetic tape or cartridge,
though smaller texts can be sent on diskette or (within the
UK only) over JANET. There is a distribution charge to cover
media and postage which *must* be paid in advance.
WHAT DO THE CODES IN THE CATALOGUE MEAN?
Each title in the list is preceded by a code made of of a
single letter indicating the availability of the text (U, A
or X), in some cases followed by a star, a number identifying
the text and another single letter which gives some idea of
the size of the text.
Availability codes: X Available only to registered OUCS users. May not be
copied.
U Freely available for scholarly use in private
research.
U* Freely available for scholarly use in private
research and also for teaching purposes.
A Available for scholarly use, but only with written
authorisation from the depositor.
Size codes: A Size less than 512 Kb
B Size between 512 Kb and 1 Mb
C Size between 1 and 2 Mb
D Size between 2 and 5 Mb
E Size greater than 5 Mb
Depending on format, a standard 600 foot magnetic tape
will hold up to 50 texts of size category A. Most texts of
size code A will fit on a standard double density floppy
diskette; any text of size code A or B will fit on a standard
high density diskette.
WHAT DO I DO TO ORDER A COPY OF A TEXT?
For texts with availability code U, the only authorisation
needed is your signature on the Order Form. For A category
texts, you must also provide written authorisation from the
depositor of the text; you should therefore ask us for
depositor details before ordering. All orders must be prepaid
to the account of Oxford University Computing Service, in
sterling or in US dollars. We cannot issue invoices, and any
orders which are not prepaid or not submitted on the standard
order form will be ignored.

For the past year, the Georgetown Center for Text and Technology has been
gathering information about archives and projects in electronic text
throughout the world. Listed below -- in alphabetical order by country
and city -- are the titles of over 270 projects, brief descriptions of
their contents, and the names and addresses of contact persons.
Our list is certainly not complete, and we invite members of this bulletin
board who know of other projects (or corrections to the current catalog)
to bring them to our attention.
Further information about specific projects -- on such topics as time period,
languages encoded, intended use, file formats, means of access, and sources --
can be obtained by writing to the address below. The entire file, however,
is under constant revision and has not been edited for distribution.
