Access options

There are several options for the screening of the files:

time-based | chronological

1050-1519 Middle Ages
1520-1789 early Modern Age
1789-1945 Modern Age
1945-1947 post war
also you can define and extract from all files your own period of study based on the dated inscriptions

indices of images in chronological order
In the medium term, the large number of digitized images will be transferred into the public TextGrid repository in the best resolution possible. Some image files (BETA) have already been ingested into and issued out of the repository in epidat by using the digital Image Library digiLib as a tool to help users view and edit (see TGRep as a media server) the data.

note: We are happy to receive any indications of missing or poorly listed content

All corpora can be selected via a scalable map
In several files it is possible to trace the position of the headstones via a static sitemap
In several files it is possible to navigate from headstone to headstone via an interactive sitemap, e.g. Willich-Anrath
Files are accessible via an index of stone masons and artists involved, showing a List of Works and their Places of Activity
Three files ─ Bonn-Schwarzrheindorf, Hamburg-Altona and Dormagen ─ are accessible in the prototype of the Topographie-Visualizer (Hyperimage)

Dated headstones are visualized in the spatio-temporal interface of the DARIAH-DE Geobrowser
Symbols on dated headstones are visualized in the spatio-temporal interface of the DARIAH-DE Geobrowser
Visualization of family relations using the XTripels webservice
In the scope of a workshop during DHd2016 in Leipzig on Methods and Tools for visualising Digital Humanities data sets several visualizations are developed based on examples taken from epidat.

Persons with a GND-ID are also provided via a BEACON-file.
In the scope of the DARIAH-DE UseCase 6.1 Steinheim-Institut & Akademie der Wissenschaften und Literatur, Mainz are developing a CIDOC-CRM model for epigraphic research data
A RSS-feed contains information on a historical cemetery: name, number of headstones, geo-coordinates, details on the project as well as a link to the datafiles.

epidat records can be harvested, see: How to harvest epidat records
- as EpiDoc: Epigraphic Documents in TEI XML
- as plain text

epidat-files are embedded in the Web-App Orte jüdischer Geschichte which is based on DARIAH-DE services.
In close cooperation with Judaica Europeana and Athena Plus work has been done to transfer the epidat collection to europeana.
Steinheim Institute is a cultural institution and participant at Coding Da Vinci, the first German cultural hackathon and provides the participants in the Hackathon with epidat records. A team developed the project poetic relief ─ ‎‏תבליט פיוטי‏‎.
