Abstract
In this paper we present a new database of online handwritten documents with di erent contents such as text, drawings, diagrams, formulas, tables, lists, and markings. It was designed to serve as a standard dataset for the development, training, testing and comparison of methods in the eld of handwritten document analysis. The database can serve as a basis for layout analysis, and di erent segmentation and recognition tasks considering online or just oine information. Its size is 1,000 documents produced by approximately 200 writers including a total of 329,849 online strokes. Few constraints were imposed on the writers when creating the documents. Nonetheless, the database has a stable distribution of the di erent content types. A software tool was developed to allow easy access to the documents which are stored in InkML. In this paper we also present two experiments which show the challenge this database poses. They may gure as references for further research in this area.
