The CGPG project (Calfa GREgORI Patrologia Graeca), led by Jean-Marie Auwers (UCLouvain), aims to OCRize the remaining non-digital versions of the Patrologia Graeca volumes. The project relies on the expertise of GREgORI and Calfa.
The project is sponsored by the ASBL Byzantion, the Fondation Sedes Sapientiae, the Institut Religions, Spiritualités, Cultures, Sociétés (RSCS, UCLouvain) and the Centre d'études orientales (CIOL, UCLouvain) and by a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous. Other sponsors have recently expressed their willingness to support the project.
The project implements the creation of specialized OCR models for the automatic reading of heavily damaged Patrologia Graeca fonts and for the extraction of Greek content only. The texts produced are then tagged (lemmatization, POS, and morphology). This Github offers the raw data produced. A proofread version of each text will gradually be offered within the GREgORI interfaces.
