A Medieval Epigraphic Corpus and its Retro-Developments ( CIFM-CBMA ) : The Exploratory Research of the Cosme

This article explains how a complex set of documents mixing Latin, Greek, and Old French texts, accompanied by rich metadata, has been processed in order to allow new surveys by humanists and shows how the corpus is constantly reinvested and how its exploitation, thanks to digital methods, generates new data and metadata that can be reinjected into the corpus and in turn operated, creating a kind of virtuous circle.
