Re: [eXist-TEIXML] [Exist-open] What's your eXistdb application?

[Peter S. <st...@we...>]

Dear all,

(the original thread was started on eXist-open but I haven't introduced our project at eXist-TEIXML hence thought to cc my answer)

Well, we ware a fairly traditional scholarly project called Carl-Maria-von-Weber-Gesamtausgabe (collected works of C.M. von Weber) and are encoding our digital edition in TEI, storing all files in a subversion repository. Those files get then exported to eXist-db for online presentation. So, we have a strict separation between those layers since no data goes back from eXist-db to subversion. 
eXist enables us to build our webapp that powers weber-gesamtausgabe.de entirely in XQuery and XSLT, provides us with a lucene full text search as well as several nice modules, e.g. the httpclient module which we use for grabbing external pages.
If you happen to be in Hamburg at DH2012, I'll presenting a poster about this project tomorrow -- come and see :-)

All the best
Peter
