Search engines like Kontext make corpora searchable, allowing them to be used for
advanced queries as well as statistical analysis. While mark-up languages like TEI
make it possible to make detailed transcriptions of documents, keeping all relevant
information. In this session we will give a hands-on demonstration of the LINDAT
set-up of TEITOK, which allows you to combine both perspectives by creating corpus of
TEI documents, that then get automatically converted into a searchable corpus in
Kontext. I will not only explain the general set-up of the system, but also demonstrate how to use it to create searchable corpora with both detailed linguistic annotation and philological annotation. There will be a test environment in which people
can experiment with their own corpus data during the session if they so desire.
