The ancient French legend of Roland, which originated sometime between the eighth and eleventh centuries, has inspired a substantial body of work all over Europe and the Americas. The resulting artifacts span many genres and forms of artistic expression. By virtue of their common elements, they form a corpus (defined by content, not form) that has not yet been studied as a whole. RolandHT delimits this corpus and treats it as a dataset, electronically tracing the themes, motifs, and imagery common to its constituent works. The XML semantic encoding scheme, currently in development based on the digitized artifacts, allows for indexing, semantic searching, and the creation of visualization tools for the corpus. RolandHT is aimed at an audience of Roland scholars, medievalists, students of literary corpora, and students of humanities computing. Once the project is completed and published, the corpus will be opened for discussion to the scholarly community, its electronic form allowing easy dissemination and inclusive participation by interested parties.
