Data organisation:

The data are organised in eight folders, one for each manuscript. Each folder contains two subfolders: 'Ground Truth' and 'Done'. The 'Ground Truth’ folder contains transcribed pages that the organisers have checked, while the 'Done' folder contains finished pages that have not been checked. The transcriptions are in the form of XML files in the format of PageXML, with one file per page. Each manuscript folder also contains an image folder, which contains the images of the manuscript pages. The images are in the form of JPEG files, with one file per page. The images are named according to the folio number of the manuscript page.
