This code is the core of the collation editor. The code in this repository is not designed to run as it is. It needs to be embedded into a larger platform with a database or similar storage. The connections are made with a services file written in JavaScript. Some minimal Python services are also required. Further configuration of settings and other options can also be provided if needed. Data input is all in JSON.
If you are just looking to try out the collation editor or want to use it on a single machine rather than on a server, then please consider the Standalone Collation Editor as an alternative.

The software was created by Catherine Smith at the Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editing (ITSEE) in the University of Birmingham. The restructuring required for the 1.0 release was completed by Catherine Smith and Troy A. Griffitts. The software was developed for and supported by the following research projects:
- The Workspace for Collaborative Editing (AHRC/DFG collaborative project 2010-2013)
- COMPAUL (funded by the European Union 7th Framework Programme under grant agreement 283302, 2011-2016)
- MUYA (funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement 694612, 2016-2022)
- CATENA (funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement 770816, 2018-2023)
- GALaCSy (an AHRC/DFG collaborative project 2022-2025)
- 1Cor (an FWO Odysseus Type I Project under grant agreement G0E9821N, 2022-2027)
The collation editor makes use of several third party libraries written and made available by other developers. Details of sources and licenses are available in the headers of the relevant JavaScript files. The redips drag and drop library (https://github.com/dbunic/REDIPS_drag) warrants special mention as it is used for all of the drag and drop interaction.
