Canonical Text Services identify and retrieve passages of text cited by canonical reference.

Description

The Canonical (previously 'Classical') Text Services specification defines a network service for identifying texts and retrieving fragments of texts using notions of "work" and "citation" traditional in classical studies and other literary disciplines.


Applications

One classical project which uses Canonical Text Services is the Homer Multitext (cf. information on its blog).

The Perseus Project also relies on CTS architecture, see [1].
