The HistCorp files
-------------------
On the HistCorp page, the Swedish texts from 'EDGeS Diachronic Bible
Corpus' are provided in a plain text format ('txt'), a tokenised
format ('tok') and an annotated format ('anno') in which bible
chapters and verses are annotated.

The 'anno' files are the same as in the original EDGeS package,
except that metadata has been added in a TEI-compatible format at the
top of each txt file. The number of sentences and words are calculated
on the basis of the segmentation in the tokenised file.

The plain text files are identical to the 'anno' files, except that
the chapter and verse annotation has been removed.

In the tokenised files, the texts are split into one token on each
line. Tokenisation was performed using the UDPipe tokeniser
(https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/udpipe) with the Swedish language model
provided as a baseline model in the CoNLL17 Shared Task
(swedish-ud-2.0-conll17-170315.udpipe).

Size: 142 texts, with a total of 1,528,010 tokens.

Genre: religion/biblical.
