  1. A Shift from Print to ‘Born Digital’Editing Medieval Miscellanies from the Netherlands Herman Brinkman Leuven, 18 september 2013

  2. The transformation of an editorial practice History, aims and practices of the MVN edition series The transition to ‘born digital’: considerations from the perspectives of users and editors Working environments: from XML to eLaborate Publication platform

  3. The transformation of an editorial practice History, aims and practices of the MVN edition series 1992 : initiative for integral diplomatic editions of medieval manuscript sources existing critical editions too often obscure the manuscript text manuscripts esp. miscellanies represent historical reading environments > shift in focus from text to context critical editions single out one text, while many ‘lesser important’ texts remain unedited texts from one manuscript are too often edited according to different editorial practices

  4. History, aims and practices of the MVN edition series (continued) integral editions open up a new research area: many mss. display a diversity of ‘smaller’ genres: tales, riddles, proverbs, epigraphs, mnemotechnical verses, household rules, stanzaic poetry, prose treatises, excerpts, quotations, etc., etc. diplomatic editions (combined with manuscript description) lead to better localization of the language or even determination of the provenance 1992: establisment of an MVN- project committee and collaboration with Constantijn Huygens Institute 1994: first publication

  11. The transformation of an editorial practice The transition to ‘born digital’: considerations from the perspectives of users and editors

  12. The transformation of an editorial practice The transition to ‘born digital’: considerations from the perspectives of users and editors User perspective: what might a user want in a digital edition? long term accessibility fixed url’s for stable reference reliable source representation: both text and manuscript images of the manuscript pages representation of the writing process readability: human eye + computer (analytical tools) overview of the structure of the text collection as a whole flexible rendering of different representations of the text searchoptions and exportable display of search results export of text in different file formats

  13. The transformation of an editorial practice The transition to ‘born digital’: considerations from the perspectives of users and editors Perspective of the editor: what might an editor want in a digital working environment? not be bothered by technicalities concentration on content in stead of form writing aids (as little code as possible, ready made mark up) program should be able to cope with complex textual features tools for collaboration (multiple editors) version control

  14. The transformation of an editorial practice The transition to ‘born digital’: conflicting priorities Conflicts: user > < user mark up plain text editor > < editor simple mark up coping with complex features editor > > user simple mark up writing process more features = more development (working environment and publication environment)

  15. The transformation of an editorial practice Working environments developed at the Huygens ING 1. XML-TEI for MVN (edited text) in oXygen / Word Press for Introductory texts stand alone support for editor, tutorials, guidelines no support for publication and maintenance 2. eLaborate – all purpose transcription and publication tool on line transcription, annotation (user definable classes) collaborative tool Present situation: MVN editions are prepared in XML-TEI publication platform eLaborate made suitable for MVN editions (test phase) upgrading of eLaborate to meet MVN standards
