Official Announcement: Release of the revised version according to the OCR-D Level 2 guidelines

[JKamlah]

Hello everyone,
we plan to publish the revised version according to the OCR-D Level 2 guidelines in this repository this week.
In the past months, the GroundTruth was corrected and upgraded by student assistants and project staff. The long s and the double oblique hyphen were updated consistently and any remaining transcription errors were corrected as far as possible. The polygons of the regions and text lines have been corrected, as well as the reading order. The regions were also tagged. Further information on the optimisations will be available at the time of publication.

The following steps are planned for the publication:

• Tagging of the current status
• A new branch 'main' will be created and set as default. The 'master' branch will stay the same.
• The main branch will containt the current revised files (OCR-D Level 2). There will be only PAGE XML files and instructions on how to generate lines from PAGE XML files. The structure of the repository will follow the OCR-D GT Repo template and the README will also be adapted accordingly. The source of origin and other references will remain the same.

We hope you will enjoy the revised version.
