Abstract
structures Document subset (XML Fragment) Feature/citation databases Augmentation Implicit search Visualization User preferences Stylesheets Displayed Document Figure 6: XML document management in Perseus 13 Figure 7: Automatically generated bidirectional links 14 Figure 8: King William Street in modern London GIS Mutual information scores have also been calculated for several sub-corpora of texts representing di#erent styles and genres such as rhetoric, prose, tragedy, and poetry. If a user looks up a word while reading a text in one of these subcorpora, the table that appears in the dictionary entry will show the five most common collocates for each applicable sub-corpus in addition to the collocates for the complete collection of Perseus Greek or Latin texts. The integration of these scores into the electronic lexicon allows readers to explore texts in a way that would not be possible outside of the digital library; it allows users to obtain quickly a broad sense of the "company that words are keeping" while also providing a rough guide to possible idioms and common phrases.
