In the world of communication devices flooded with images, the main goal of the project is the popularization the pleasure and utility of reading, the lingual forms and interpretation of images, and reading as a life experience. To contribute to the main goal of the project, 3 intensive seminars and 3 workshops arranged during the programme raise awareness of methods among the players of the book industry and education, as well as prepare the theory and methods underlying the creation of new applications. After the academic events, we publish the new methods and applications for traditional, internet-based and electronic publication of literary texts analysed and created to the target group of the project: publishers, education experts, translators, publishers, IT experts, and especially young readers and university students, as future teachers and researchers. Based on the results of the workshops and seminars, an intellectual output, a so called Rich Annotator System is expected to be developed, that would link the text of the commentary literature to some major literary text being commented upon, and form direct hyperlinks from the comments to the quoted text semi automatically and by automatically generating inverse links, enabling a new form of reading of the main text where each commentary is immediately visible. The regional and national impact of the project would be traced first in the academic education and later in the high school education, since we train high school teacher. Since we plan to involve economic and business fields, especially publishers as external stakeholders into the project from 6 countries, our project may have an impact on publishing strategies, as well as strategies on promoting translation and publication of world literature.
At the beginning of the project, we realized that the world is rushing towards digitalization, therefore we wanted to popularize the pleasure and utility of reading, the lingual forms and interpretation of images, and reading as a life experience. At the end of the project, the whole world turned upside down, and the need of digital platforms and applications as forms of entertainment, education tool and assistance for your job has grown more than ever. As the main goal of the project, the partnership managed to organize 3 intensive seminars and 3 workshops, the last two events in a hybrid way in order to adapt to the current situation. These events as a way of dissemination raised awareness of methods among the players of the book industry and education, as well as prepared the theory and the corpus of our Intellectual Output, called Rich Annotator System (RAS). Thus, RAS has been developed, and as originally planned, it links the texts of commentary literature to some major literary texts being commented upon, and form direct hyperlinks from the coments to the quoted text semi automatically, and by automatically generating inverse links, enabling a new form of reading of the main text, where each commentary is immediately visible. The participants of the academic events provided the studies, which served as the corpus of the platform, as well as the events were means of dissemination, during which we primarily promoted the platform among the professors and students participating in and bneing presented in the LTT events. However, since these events were also open for the public, RAS was disseminated to education experts, translators, young readers and university students, as future teachers and researchers. The impact of the project can be traced in academic education and later in high school education, since we train high school teachers. The promotion and the functioning of the Intellectual Output will continue, since the long-term relation among partners, and their commitment to the project guarantees the quality and after-life of the platform.
