TRAME, an overview and a 2015 roadmap.

TRAME (Text and manuscript transmission of the Middle Ages in Europe) is a research infrastructure for medieval manuscripts.
Link: http://git-trame.fefonlus.it/
There are three main parts:
  1. a front-end: the search interface,
  2. an engine: the libraries that process the queries,  
  3. a back-end: the admin interface and the scripts that perform scheduled operations.
