eCodicology makes the subjective view of the codicologist objective by providing a software for automatic layout analysis of digitized medieval manuscripts. This software will consist of a library of various algorithms for extracting features like page size, written space, pictorial space etc. Thus simple access to complex infrastructure for data management, data processing, and automatic data analysis will be provided.

A software framework tied to a web portal will automate the data analysis workflows. It is designed generically to process a great amount of image data with any desired algorithm for feature extraction based on the components ImageJ and MOA/Weka. The software framework itself will be integrated as a service into the DARIAH infrastructure to make it adaptable for a wider range of documents and communities.
