#### Palaeographic Annotation

Palaeographic annotation is conducted through a dedicated digital palaeographic environment with its own web application and interface ([Annotator](https://kingsdigitallab.github.io/crossreads/annotator.html)) also served and documented via a dedicated [Github repository](https://github.com/kingsdigitallab/crossreads-petrography). The environment lets the user define the palaeographic structure of allographs and then create thousands of Web Annotations ([Web Annotation Data Model](https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/)) that bind graphs as they appear on inscription images (using IIIF Image API region format) with their occurrences in the EpiDoc edition (fetched from a [Distributed Text Services (DTS)](https://distributed-text-services.github.io/specifications/) collection) and the formal description of their structure.

A faceted search interface allows the researcher to filter graph annotations by their structural patterns and define a high-level typology of allographs.

The list of letter types identified for each annotated inscription are then added to the TEI file and so visible on the corpus website with links back to the palaeography environment. These types are also searchable from the ‘Lettering’ filter in the list of facet options, thus integrating them with the rest of the exploration possibilities within the entire corpus, even though only a selection of inscriptions underwent palaeographic analysis.

This diagram outlines the restructuring of the platform into a flatter, more accessible hierarchy compared to the previous instance of I.Sicily (see acknowledgements below). The goal was to streamline key user flows (search → results → inscription), and balance quick access for new users with advanced functionality for researchers.

The iterations below exemplified in the figures focus on structuring the core interaction model - combining search, filters, and result views (list, table, map) into a cohesive and flexible interface. The aim was to minimise cognitive load while supporting both exploratory browsing and precise academic queries.

Multiple colour palette directions were designed and tested to reflect the historical context while ensuring strong contrast and accessibility requirements. Iterations focused on readability, hierarchy, and creating a consistent visual language that works across complex data interfaces.
