The Cervantes Project 

We are using ItLv to depict the variants obtained in a textual collation of the early editions of Don Quixote de la Mancha. A textual collation is a process in which a base text is compared against several comparison texts to identify differences (variants) among them. The interactive options of ItLv provide different abstractions of the dataset by enabling the presentation and exploration of the relationships that  exist within the dataset; helping to understand the relationships among the texts and discover patterns within the texts.
