Abstract:
With the Wittgenstein Archives at the University
of Bergen and the EU eContentplus funded DISCOVERY project as its touch stones,
this article explores changed conditions and possibilities for
digital editorial work, research and publishing in the
humanities. In this article, emphasis is put on the dynamic
and interactive aspects of digital editing, as well as the new
opportunities which semantic web thinking and technology
offer. Markup / text encoding is here considered key for both,
as well as being crucial for adequately exploiting the
possibilities offered by the digital turn in the humanities
and higher education more generally. Additionally, the article
promotes the strengthening and further development of open
access and collaborative research models as beneficial for the
humanities. The DISCOVERY project is described in some detail:
Its importance lies in bringing the above dimensions together
by aiming at giving open, multilingual access to a substantial
digital resource of European philosophy sources, including
multimedia, while at the same time being open for user
specific filtering, semantic web processing and collaborative
researching and learning.
