MorphGNT Roadmap

This month I should be doing another release of my morphologically-parsed Greek New Testament. This will be release 5.06. I thought I’d outline my future plans (as they currently stand).

At some point, I’ll start doing 6.xx releases. This will involve a format change that includes some more information. I’ll probably continue the 5-series releases for people used to the format. The 5-series data is just a subset of the 6-series data so it’s always possible (and easy) for me to generate a 5 from a 6.

From Series-7, MorphGNT’s format will likely change dramatically to adopt a graph structure rather than a simple tabular structure. This will enable much greater extensibility and annotation.

Series-7 will be the last that is based on the CCAT database. From Series-8 onwards, the data will hopefully be completely the results of my own parsing work.

First things first, though—getting 5.06 out. I’m down to 299 mismatches to resolve.

at the intersection of computing, linguistics, philology, and learning science

By day I’m an entrepreneur, web technologist and open-source developer but my academic background is in linguistics (along with some classics, comparative philology, and educational statistics) and my main avocation is working on text, annotations, analysis and software relating to historical languages with a particular interest in facilitating better learning.

While my focus has mostly been on Biblical Greek, much of the work is highly relevant to other Hellenistic Greek texts, other dialects of Ancient Greek and, indeed, texts in completely different languages as well.
