Introduction

This documentation explains the plugin for generating missing ALTO IDs. This is required for the ALTO editor to work properly. Some external OCR tools don't provide these ALTO IDs. This plugin can then be used to generate them afterwards.

Installation

To be able to use the plugin, the following files must be installed:

/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/step/plugin-step-generate-alto-ids-base.jar

Configuration

This plugin requires no configuration.
