State of the art-SIGIL

[Aymen Boss]

Hello everyone
I am a student in computer science and I have a memory research of end of studies to do on SIGIL.
Please give me some leads or documentation on SIGIL to make the state of the art on SIGIL
I would be very grateful for your answers

State of the art what?

Most of the documentation can be found in the docs folder of Sigil's Source code. Links can be found in the "Downloading Sigil" sticky thread.

A slightly more updated user manual can be found at: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...3&postcount=42

I have a research job where I will integrate an ontology into Sigil, so I will do a research study on the work that is done in the integration of ontologies with sigil

[DiapDealer]

Sigil is not an ontology integrator, it's an epub editor. So there's nothing I can think of that needs to be "integrated" with Sigil where ontology is concerned.

If you want to know how to create an epub (about ontology or anything else) with Sigil, then perhaps we can help (after you browse the various links and materials I pointed to above).

I think there is a gitlab project called sigil that has biotools for gene ontologies. Perhaps the poster is simply confused.

Or I am!
Your explanation makes a lot of sense.

Thank you all.

Hi,

I have to do a study on the integration of an ontology (like FOAF) to the eBook editor SIGIL.

This integration could for example make it possible to:
- Make a genealogy of the characters of the novel, adaptable in different languages;
- Allow the reader to situate the characters of the novel, through their relationship with the main character.

SIGIL an open source software, is there a possibility to do this integration?
is there any work that has incorporated ontologies, or other things, to SIGIL?

thank you in advance for your return

In short: no. Sigil will make it possible for you to create or edit an ebook (epub). That's all. It offers no features that would allow a reader to analyze the contents (characters, plot, etc,...) of a novel. It allows you to create/edit what the EPUB specifications define.

Not to my knowledge, no. Sigil is not an analytical tool. It's an ebook editor.

If you're asking if the maintainers of Sigil would be willing to incorporate such features, I'm afraid my answer would be no.
