Configuration Template Archive / Template Selector

[metacontext]

It would be great if users could submit configuration templates for standardized RDF extractions (like TEI/EpiDoc > CIDOC-CRM etc.) to a common template archive so that other users can find and use them more easily. We could even have some kind of "template selector" for standard use cases. This would improve the usability of the service quite a lot.

Great idea already work in progress based on @metacontext 2016 DARIAH workshop example, enriched by @KollatzThomas for epigraphy.info Workshop IV, current plan is to evaluate epiont-proposal by Luizzo and others and enrich XTriples Configuration template

Should these go in (a subfolder of?) the examples directory? or maybe a separate repository?
Excellent idea, it should be possible to clean up some of Salamanca's config files rather quickly...

[metacontext]

My suggestion would be: New subfolder "templates", new page "Configuration Templates" in main menu (= page with a list with teasers and short descriptions for each configuration template). Interested parties can submitt pull requests to the folder and the overview HTML page. If the template passes schema conformance, it gets merged and included. Additionally, we could introduce a new select box in the XTriples form on the main page from which included templates can be selected for the extraction.
