This repository contains the source code (based on EFES and EpiDoc), for the 2021 publication of the Inscriptions of Roman Tripolitania by Charlotte M. Roueché, Gabriel Bodard and Irene Vagionakis in collaboration with Caroline Barron, Usama Gad and Scott Vanderbilt. This is the second digital edition (after the 2009 version) of the original 1952 volume by J.M. Reynolds and J.B. Ward-Perkins in collaboration with Salvatore Autigemma, Renato Bartoccini, Giacomo Caputo, Richard Goodchild and Pietro Romanelli.
If the official website for IRT 2021 is unresponsive, please use the Report a problem link to inform King's Digital Lab, the hosting company, of the problem.
If this does not result in the restoration of the site as quickly as you need it, instructions for using the code in this repository to run a local version of the publication (including indexes and search, but not including photographs) on your computer can be found below.
- Using the CODE button close to the top of the repository page, either "clone" the repository (if you know what this means), or Download ZIP. Extract the ZIP archive to a new folder on your hard drive.
- Follow the First time installation instructions from the EFES User Guide, and then follow the instructions to set up RDF Repository, harvest and index the inscriptions. Some of these steps may take a few minutes. Let them.
- You should then be able to view the website locally by returning to the link in your command/terminal window.
EFES is envisioned as a delivery, search and browse platform that can be set up and customized for an individual EpiDoc XML-based project with only minimal training and technical skill on the part of a project team. The authors of EFES plan to offer advanced, follow-up training workshops for students already familiar with EpiDoc, but lacking further technical skills, with a view to empowering them to create and manage all stages of their digital publication, from modelling to indexing to publishing online.
EFES is a fork of the Kiln publication plaform, described below.

Kiln is an open source multi-platform framework for building and deploying complex websites whose source content is primarily in XML. It brings together various independent software components into an integrated whole that provides the infrastructure and base functionality for such sites.
Kiln is developed and maintained by a team at the King's Digital Lab (KDL), King’s College London. Over the past years and versions, Kiln has been used to generate more than 50 websites which have very different source materials and customised functionality. It has been adapted to work on a variety of flavours of TEI and other XML vocabularies, and has been used to publish data held in relational databases.
