5. Web database updates

This is not currently part of the peer-reviewed material of the project. Do not cite as a research publication.

The online database continues to be updated with new material and features. The submission interface has been simplified and made more reliable in response to feedback from editors and research associates. Over 250 stanzas have now been entered into the database, and are printable, searchable and are linked to an index of kenning referents.

Subject to the process described in the previous section, the database contains the most up-to-date arrangement of the corpus. The Skj ordering is still retained, but is recorded separately. The information for each poem and verse includes the current siglum used for referring to the poem.

The full runic corpus has now been entered in the database, including many new digital photographs of verse runic inscriptions. Inscriptions are listed as manuscripts and ordered according to their catalogue numbers.

In addition, selected photographs from the five skaldic symposia since May 2001 have been put online. These are accessed via a link on the skaldic homepage.
