I have a project that involves determining variations between different
versions of a very long poem. Unfortunately, simple file comparison
programs are inappropriate since not all differences between the versions
are important. For example, many (but not all) spelling variations are
insignificant. Some versions of the poem have extra, or missing lines.
Some corresponding lines (between different versions) are of unequal
length as well. The real need (I think) is to be able to specify (in a
separate "rule" file) a list identifying significant difference rules.
Are there any relevant software products? Are there any relevant
journals? Does anyone have any suggestions?
