BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The main branch of this repository contains the source files for the OGR Corpus:

• csv/textcsv: source texts
• cfg: files necessary for compiling and exporting the corpus
• doc: metadata and documentation

Before the corpus can be used, the source files must be processed and exported using the syllabic verse analysis (SylVA) tools available on Sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/syllabic-verse-analysis/

The main branch contains work in progress! Some source texts are not finished and will cause errors if the scripts in SylVA are used on them.
