Description of Greek orthodox structured hymns (Canons) using metadata schema

• Πούλος, Μάριος
• Μακρής, Ευστάθιος

The study of the Greek Orthodox hymnography could be greatly facilitated by the electronic publication of the hymn texts, encoded according to the appropriate standard. Nowadays the de facto standard for text encoding and digital publishing in the field of Humanities is TEI (Text Encoding Initiative), we need however the appropriate Document Type Definition (DTD), with the appropriate for this type of documents, element and attribute-list declarations. To this end, we created and propose a Document Type Definition especially for the needs of digital publication of the Greek Orthodox canons. As an example implementation of our proposal we present the canon of St. Anne, encoded according to our DTD.
