=== Vindolanda Tablets Online II (VTO2)===

The new [http://vto2.classics.ox.ac.uk/ VTO2 website] is now online.

This project is linked in with the [http://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/Vindolanda_Tablets_Online Vindolanda Tablets Online](VTO) project from 2003.
There are several parts to the project:
*The first was to encode ''Tab.Vindol.III'' accourding to the newest EpiDoc style XML.
*This soon led to a much more detailed encoding than previously in the VTO project, which included encoding of conventions such as ''[abc]''.
*Next we decided to include contextual encoding of lemma, personal names, geography and dates. We used the indices from the Tab.Vindol publications and added this information to the XML documents.
*At this point we realised that with the new encoding there was so much more that could be done with the tablets other than just publishing them online. We decided to use the more granulated encoding to build a website that was much more interactive than VTO using AJAX LiveSearch and Web Service technology.
*The Web Service (called APPELLO) allows us to search the words in the tablets and create an index. It is possible to send patterns to the APPELLO and it will retrieve words and the tablets in which they can be found based on this pattern.
*This new encoding together with APPELLO also benefits Henriette Roued's thesis research: ''Decision Support Systems for the reading of Ancient Documents''. APPELLO can be accessed from the Decision Support System (DSS) and provide suggestions which can aid readers in their interpretation process.
