VedaWeb TEI transformations

This repository contains the files employed to transform the source files of the VedaWeb project into the TEI format and validate them.

Requirements: conda

After installing conda, follow these steps to transform and validate the data

1. Create the virtual environment and install the needed dependencies:
   conda env create -f environment.yml
2. Activate the virtual environment:
   conda activate vedaweb_transformations
3. Clone the vedaweb-data repository
   git clone https://github.com/VedaWebProject/vedaweb-data.git
4. Transform the source data to TEI
   python transform.py <path_to_vedaweb-data> <path_to_vedaweb-data/rigveda/TEI>
   (The second argument is the path to the output directory)
5. Validate the generated TEI files
   python validate.py <path_to_vedaweb-data/rigveda/TEI>
6. Deactivate the virtual environment when you are done
   conda deactivate

Development

If you want to apply changes (installed/uninstalled depenencies) in the environment to the environment.yml, run...

conda env export --from-history --channel conda-forge > environment.yml

Important: After doing this, delete the line starting with prefix: ... from the environment.yml!

Upcoming Updates

There will be a code and TEI update in 2025.
