  1. "To provide a platform into which standardised (TEI) xml-files of Latin texts can be loaded (if you would like to share your texts, please contact us) and downloaded (unless copyrights or the texts' providers restrict this).

    To make these texts searchable in complex manners (including proximity search and lemmatised search). Search results, wordlists and concordances can be generated for the current text level at the right hand side of the page (we use the open-source software Sphinx).

    To provide a platform to publish Latin texts online (cf. the Richard Rufus Project's corpus). Texts may be downloaded as TEI xml for non-commercial use and can thus be reused by other researchers. Note that the XML files come from various sources and, although they should approach the TEI xml standard, some of them do not validate as TEI because of minor differences from the rigid TEI guide-lines."
