Conversion of Goethe's Collected Works from EBT DynaText to XML

The CD-ROM edition of Goethe's collected works by Chadwyck Healey, published in 1995 and based on the „Weimarer Ausgabe” – while not the most recent edition – still is the most comprehensive digital publication of Goethe's literary works as well as his scientific writings, letters, diaries and other texts. Unfortunately it is not easily accessible anymore. The CD-ROM version suffers from incompatibility with current hardware setups and lacking support of the accompanying DynaText software by current operating systems. Online versions of the edition – made available via web gateways and licensed exclusively to libraries – are scarce and allow only for the browsing of individual texts in the edition.

This conversion routine reads the edition's data in EBT's DynaText format, as provided on CD-ROM, and converts it to XML, thereby facilitating the usage of the edition as a whole in a machine-readable form.

Prerequisites

The conversion routines are written in Clojure, a JVM-based Lisp dialect. Accordingly, a Clojure installation is required.

Retrieve an ISO image of the CD-ROM edition

Retrieve an ISO image of the CD-ROM edition and copy the directory \EBTBOOKS\BOOKS\GOETHE\ to the project's data/ directory with paths converted to lower case, i. e.

$ sudo mount -o loop,ro $CH_WA_ISO_FILE /mnt $ cp -R /mnt/ebtbooks/books/goethe data

Convert to XML

Once the EBT DynaText dataset is available at data/goethe/, run the conversion:

$ clojure -M:convert ~/data/ksw/ch-wa-xml 2023-02-25T21:28:40.188Z textmaschine INFO [ch-wa-xml:156] - {"weiref" "I‚ 1", "type" "literary", "n" "001"} 2023-02-25T21:28:44.958Z textmaschine INFO [ch-wa-xml:156] - {"weiref" "I‚ 2", "type" "literary", "n" "002"} 2023-02-25T21:28:47.569Z textmaschine INFO [ch-wa-xml:156] - {"weiref" "I‚ 3", "type" "literary", "n" "003"} 2023-02-25T21:28:49.967Z textmaschine INFO [ch-wa-xml:156] - {"weiref" "I‚ 4", "type" "literary", "n" "004"} 2023-02-25T21:28:51.497Z textmaschine INFO [ch-wa-xml:156] - {"weiref" "I‚ 5i", "type" "literary", "n" "005"} 2023-02-25T21:28:52.596Z textmaschine INFO [ch-wa-xml:156] - {"weiref" "I‚ 5ii", "type" "literary", "n" "006"} 2023-02-25T21:28:58.025Z textmaschine INFO [ch-wa-xml:156] - {"weiref" "I‚ 6", "type" "literary", "n" "007"} 2023-02-25T21:29:01.747Z textmaschine INFO [ch-wa-xml:156] - {"weiref" "I‚ 7", "type" "literary", "n" "008"} 2023-02-25T21:29:03.901Z textmaschine INFO [ch-wa-xml:156] - {"weiref" "I‚ 8", "type" "literary", "n" "009"} […] $ ls -lh data/ch-wa.xml -rw-rw-r-- 1 joe users 130M Feb 25 22:36 data/ch-wa.xml

The resulting XML document can be found at data/ch-wa.xml.
