A new data paper at Transformations (@dariaheu.bsky.social) marks the final stage (for now) of the GRETIL. In the context of Text+ and @nfdi.de we have made this resource FAIRer and notably improved its long-term preservation: 📄👉 transformations.episciences.org/en/articles/... 👈

We have been working on a new browser-based GUI to publish data in TGR. We haven't presented it anywhere yet. We are looking for corpora/editions/collections to test it (currently only TEI-files, no images) or people who want to test it themselves. Let us know if your are interested!

TextGrid @textgrid.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
One of the major changes we have made to the TextGrid Repository in recent years is that people who want to publish their data no longer need to understand TGR's (very) complex metadata model.

4Memory has chocolate bars as part of its merchandise. Tony's chocolate to be more specific. This may or may not be connected, but suddenly we feel like we want to collaborate more intensely with 4Memory somehow... #gndforum

Next week, we will be attending the GND Forum, where we will demonstrate how the repository uses the authority file system to improve the portal's metadata and is moving towards a more dynamic, distributed metadata system. events.gwdg.de/event/1407/ cc @nfdi4objects.bsky.social

Next week, we will be attending the Text+ Community Plenary in Mannheim to talk about some of the projects that have been imported in recent months, and to discuss how the data in the repository benefits from the GND authority file system. See you there? text-plus.org/en/aktuelles...

One benefit of publishing your data in the TextGrid Repository is that your data becomes available on other platforms linked to the repository. This increases the visibility of your data without any additional effort on your part. An example: Text+ Registry registry.text-plus.org/collection/s...

#BiblioCon (largest library conference in the German-speaking area) takes place in Berlin this week. Today, there there is a talk about translating the Basic Classification into English. The TextGrid Repository contributed to it by presenting a clear use case, given that the platform is bilingual.

Congrats @antoniorojascastro.bsky.social! 👏 Last year, we imported the corpus into the TextGrid Repository using a project-specific XSLT transformation. Landing-page: textgridrep.org/project/TGPR... List of files: textgridrep.org/search?filte... Example: textgridrep.org/browse/4gbcd.0

Am Dienstag fand der Betriebsausflug der SUB Göttingen statt. Eine der Optionen war ein Lego-Tag. Wir haben unter anderem Logos und QR-Codes aus Lego gebaut. Auf dem Bild sind Ubbo und José aus dem TG-Team zu sehen. Meint ihr, ein QR-Code aus Lego funktioniert? 🤔 Ihr könnt das gerne ausprobieren!😜

What if a project doesn't have TEI, but only plain text? This was the case for the Lu Xun Corpus, with Chinese literature. For that, we created a basic TEI version with metadata and published it in the repository. Lading-page of the project: textgridrep.org/project/TGPR...

In the TextGrid Repository, not only do collections (folders) get a persistent identifier (PID) (HANDLE ID), but actually all documents get a PID: each XML-TEI document, each image, each XSLT transformation stylesheet, etc. This improves the identification of the data and makes it easier to cite.

A important project that was imported last year: GRETIL (Göttingen Register of Electronic Texts in Indian Languages), a corpus of Sanskrit, Tamil and other Indian language texts. It is annotated with GND entities and Basic Classification. - Landing page: textgridrep.org/project/TGPR...

Cool development: the Python library tg-clients. It provides direct access to all data (metadata, texts, images...) from the repository in Python, and much more. Here is the documentation with examples: dariah-de.pages.gwdg.de/textgridrep/... and here is a poster: zenodo.org/records/1070...

Over the past few years, many new projects have been added to the TextGrid Repository. One project for which we developed several features was ELTeC, which contains several corpora of novels in different European languages: textgridrep.org/project/TGPR...

'But the TextGrid Repository is only interesting for people working with German texts!' That may have been true in the past, but not anymore! We now have texts in over 100 languages! Here are the top 10 languages right now!
