KBSET -- Knowledge-Based Support for Scholarly Editing and Text Processing with Declarative LaTeX Markup and a Core Written in SWI-Prolog

KBSET is an environment that provides support for scholarly editing in two flavors: First, as a practical tool KBSET/Letters that accompanies the development of editions of correspondences (in particular from the 18th and 19th century), completely from source documents to PDF and HTML presentations. Second, as a prototypical tool KBSET/NER for experimentally investigating novel forms of working on editions that are centered around automated named entity recognition. KBSET can process declarative application-specific markup that is expressed in LaTeX notation and incorporate large external fact bases that are typically provided in RDF. KBSET includes specially developed LaTeX styles and a core system that is written in SWI-Prolog, which is used there in many roles, utilizing that it realizes the potential of Prolog as a unifying language.Comment: To appear in DECLARE 2019 Revised Selected Paper
