I was hoping to delay this until I had the Subversion repository ready to distribute the first versions of the XML, but setting it up is taking a bit longer than I anticipated. I'm working on a proof-of-concept for the kinds of analysis that can be done using the name and date indices together; I'm hoping to finish it in about a week or so. Here's the current status of the deliverables as of 20 June 2010:

Date index

A preliminary version is done and ready for release. It contains all the documents and all the different proposed date ranges found in Zaliznjak 2004 and gramoty.ru. A sample entry:



380
1140
1135
1100
1160
1170
1190
1100
1140
Нерев
И-1

Name index

Finished, other than the metadata about whether a name is attested elsewhere, compositional, or none of the above. A sample entry:

Матфѣи

Матфѣѥвъ

Матфѣѥвичь Матьфѣи
Мафѣи

Names in context

Starting work on this index (which shows all the names found in each document, and the role they play) is the next step in building a proof-of-concept for the work on the BBL names sub-project.

Unicode word index

Completed through page 62 out of 113.

Word index with vowel etymology

Pending completion of Unicode word index.
