== Software ==

Scholars from humanities and cultural studies can do their research on textbased data jointly or alone by using the TextGrid software. This resaerch environment consists of two main components:

* The ''TextGrid Repository'' is long-term storage of subject specific contents where digital research data can be stored. This is to guarantee the long-term availability and access to data and also to provide cooperation for the scholars.

* The ''TextGrid Laboratory'' is the client software of the virtual research environment and combines diverse services and tools within the interface that can be used intuitively. The TextGridLab can be extended and therefore be used by scholars from diverse fields of research and interest. The software is available for all prevalent operation systems.
