    Abstract:
    The open-cbgm library is an open-source software implementation of the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM) designed with customizability and performance on large-scale collations in mind. The library is free to use or modify and has been tested on real data from the Editio Critica Maior (ECM) of the New Testament. This presentation first offers a summary treatment of the library's features and optimizations. Special attention is given to the topic of specifying and modifying local stemmata in the input files. Changes made from existing CBGM implementations and their justifications are also discussed. Finally, the usage and speed of the library's modules are demonstrated in a walkthrough of constructing and revising the local stemmata of variants and the global stemma of witnesses for 3 John. In this practical demonstration, the library not only handles the unprecedented task of constructing a complete global stemma for a New Testament book, but does so in a matter of seconds.
