Hi Yiannis,
may I just point out another approach -- through Perseids it is now
possible to annotate either a chosen passage or its selection by choosing
the "Annotate in Perseids" link. On the page that will open (after you
login to Perseids; best to create an account beforehand at the
<http://sosol.perseids.org/sosol/signin>), you can either annotate with
some pre-existing categories ("Has Translation", "Has Classification") or
you can add your own URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) for the type of
relationship that you want to annotate. If you choose to add your own URI,
you are responsible for publishing something at the other end of the
identifier -- but this might be just what you need.
The publishing side of Perseids is, I think, not completely ready (or
perhaps even conceptualized) yet, so you cannot refer to the annotation
you've made directly from the outside: you should submit the annotation to
a board (if you ask the administrators, they will gladly create a board
for you and your team), and, after an annotation is reviewed and finalized
(by yourself, if you're the board as well), you should probably export it
and publish it somewhere on your own (see the examples here:
<http://sites.tufts.edu/perseids/publications/student-publications/>). The
important thing is that all identifiers are prepared for you -- but you
have to make them accessible (and stable). (This is, after all, more in
line of creating a scholarly publication, like writing a book, carefully
checking each note and quotation -- but that's just my opinion.)
The important thing is that it is the users who push Perseids forward and
make it grow (I'm speaking from my own experience), so try to contact
Bridget Almas, who is the lead developer of Perseids
<http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/about/who/bridgetAlmas>, and see how
Perseids can serve what you want to do.
And best of luck with your Ph. D!
