TUSTEP is the abbreviation for TUebinger System of Text Processing Programs ; a program package of the Center for Data Processing at the University of Tübingen, which has been sold under this name since 1978 and has been continuously developed since then .
The purpose of the program system is scientific word data processing within the humanities . Specific tasks that TUSTEP can be used for include:
- the creation of text-critical issues (with automatic management of several critical devices)
- the comparison of different text versions for the automatic generation of the apparatus
- complex register tasks
- statistical or metric text evaluations
- the generation of a professional record output of the compiled data.
Its complex search-and-replace routines can be named as a particularly powerful element of the program system. The search options are geared towards philological problems, but corpus linguistic projects can also be carried out in TUSTEP (e.g. program-supported annotation, loss-free conversion of data formats).
TUSTEP is characterized by its flexibility (modular structure) and its high processing speed. It is particularly suitable for processing XML- structured data or generating XML-structured data from originally differently structured data. Operation can take place at the script level. A graphical user interface exists in the command line environment of the respective system and is highly configurable. Numerous well-known large-scale projects (including the digitization of Grimm's dictionary with TUSTEP), but also individual projects are linked on the program homepage.
The International Tustep User Group eV is dedicated to the training and further education of TUSTEP users as well as the promotion of information exchange within the TUSTEP community. Its tasks also include the maintenance, porting, further development and distribution of TUSTEP.
The program system is written in Fortran and C and is available for the Windows , Linux and Mac OS operating systems .
There is TUSTEP 1st: as 'classic' TUSTEP, a line-based, parameter-supported programming language; 2nd: as TUSCRIPT, a modern, highly developed scripting language; 3rd: as TXSTEP, the new XML frontend from TUSTEP.
