The Coordination Project is the heart of the SRA. It has more staff than the other eight subprojects (i.e., 1 project manager, 1 Postdoc, 4 Predocs) because it has to fulfil three different functions, each of which is essential for the success of the SRA: firstly, it handles the general administration of the SRA, which includes in particular the organisation of the consortium, the meetings of the entire SRA and the meetings with the AB, travel management, annual reporting, general press relations, and other dissemination activities. Secondly, it manages the fundamental data on which all eight individual subprojects are built, thereby guaranteeing their success as well as their cooperation and the coherence of the SRA’s content. Thirdly, it serves as a window to the outside world and fulfils
the SRA’s mission of making Neo-Latin texts accessible to all early modern researchers.
As the data basis for the entire project, the world’s largest online corpus of machine-readable Neo-Latin texts is being created. The text corpus and database are compiled and used jointly by the individual projects, but are brought together and presented in a uniform manner in the coordination project. The data collections are available on the SRA’s homepage not only to members of the SRA, but also to the interested public without restriction from the very beginning. In addition, the collections contain components that are primarily aimed at the general public and, in particular, enable early modern researchers of all disciplines to independently exploit Neo-Latin texts and make their information fruitful for their own respective research questions.
