+abstract: >-
+  The OCR-D-Ground-Truth-Guidelines contain a format
+  documentation of the existing Ground Truth provided by
+  OCR-D and can be used as instructions for the compilation
+  of further Ground Truth. With this standardisation, Ground
+  Truth can be technically validated. Furthermore, existing
+  transcriptions can be checked on the basis of this set of
+  rules and, if necessary, converted into Ground Truth data.
+
+
+  The data format of the OCR-D-Ground-Truth is PAGE-XML.
+  This format was initially developed by the PRImA Research
+  Lab at the University of Salford Greater Manchester and
+  fundamentally extended within the EU project IMPACT. It is
+  currently managed by the PRImA Research Lab. In order to
+  ensure further development and maintenance of this format,
+  a PAGE-XML board was created on the initiative of OCR-D.
