      abstract = {The E-Carrel project aims to address the preservation of,  access to, and re-uses of humanities electronic text files.  It enables dynamic, growing resource projects as  repositories for new knowledge. It provides for on-line  distributed data and tools that are open to new scholarly  enhancement through a user friendly tagging tool,  sophisticated use of stand-off markup and annotation  (leveraging RDF capabilities), and a browsing system anyone  can use. It creates a secure system of text preparation and  dissemination that encourages collaboration and  participation by anyone interested in the texts. To insure  the endurance of authenticated texts, multiple copies are  distributed on the Internet. Foundation texts anchor a  system for maintaining and growing project usefulness  beyond the originators’ interest and the functions they  imagined. Increasing access to humanities texts as useful,  adaptable, reliable source materials that can be  re-purposed will increase interest in continued  maintenance, which are critical for long-term preservation  and access.},
