Scholarly editing around Europe
Introduction by OpenMethods Editor (Delphine Montoliu): This post presents a complete and critical balance sheet of the project DIXIT on the encoding and the literary edition.
After some months into my fellowship, I realized that the original project ‘TEI and web-based editing tools’ was deeply linked to the future of eLaborate, a web-based application for creating digital editions, whose compatibility with TEI should have been improved. Quite soon, the plan for eLaborate changed at the Institute, and my own interest brought me to enlarge a bit the scope of the research, to ‘editing tools’ tout-court: and by editing tools, I mean all those pieces of software that could be used by textual scholars in the process of creating a scholarly digital edition.
