Outline of Final Research Achievements

The starting point for our study was curiosity for many bibliographical references in the Encyclopedie. The text of the french dictionary is part of a complex intertexual history from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Copy and paste are frequently used by authors in their contributions and our database is specially designed to provide access to this intertexual history by activating a "source criticism" devoted to the study of numerous references contained in the text of the Encyclopedie. The bibliographical metadata that we extract from the text of the Encyclopedie is related to "titles" and "authors". Many of them are always present in an imperfect way, abbreviated or omitted, so a cumbersome task of restoring the whole notation by "normalization" is absolutely required.
