EpiDoc< / a >
project (hosted by SourceForge) does not yet have any tools up, but
the project's goals are similar in many ways to the THDL's, and they
list their programming language as Java. The blurb of interest:
"The EpiDoc Collaborative is developing a software and
hardware-independent digital publication and interchange
specification for scholarly and educational editions of inscribed
and incised texts in Greek, Latin and other ancient languages".

DO NOT DELETE THE SF.NET LOGO.
We have a choice of colors and sizes for this logo (see
"https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=790& group_id=1"),
but we do not have the option of removing it. SourceForge requests
that we put it on each web page for our project, and to give us
incentive to do so, they will not track the number of hits for our
project web pages unless we put this link in. To track hits, see
