As I've already created HermeneutiX, which is offering the support for syntactical and semantical analyses of complex texts (e.g. in order to translate them), both SciToS and HermeneutiX would benefit from being joined together.

This would require some major reworks on HermeneutiX, to fit into the new SciToS plattform, but this step would drasticly improve its maintainability. Additionally, changing the associated XML file structure to being more self-contained (like the one for the AIS module), would allow a greater extent of configurability, enabling users to define custom...

1. input languages,
2. clause item functions, and
3. semantical roles.

It could thereby become useful for more people. The default settings will remain the ones previously provided and the current (old) HermeneutiX file format should be supported to be opened. Saving will only be possible for the new (self-contained) file format.

As the network support for collaborative analyses is only rudimentary and I assume that it is not being used, it should be left out here. The current standalone version 1.12 of HermeneutiX will still be available on SourceForge – and the feature could always be added again, later on.
