  1. interedition Interoperable Supranational Infrastructurefor Digital Editions

  2. Research area • Literature & Cultural History • Digital scholarly text editing & publishing • Heuristic & statistical text analysis

  3. Background • Word processing does not suffice • Inadequate transformations of traditional textual media into digital environment • Focus on publishing environments rather than on research environments • Technical ineptness of commercial and ´standard´ solutions for scholarly research

  4. Reasons for the Action • Unavailability of digital infrastructure • Lack of philological modeled data exchange protocols and web services • Current technical solutions limit effective collaboration • Lack of possibilities for scholars and developers to converge and coordinate individual efforts • Create synergy between the large number of national and institutional initiatives…

  16. The Interedition Objective • Roadmap for the development of an interoperable supranational infrastructure for digital scholarly editing, publishing and analysis • Provided through the opportunity for involved and interested research and development groups to interact within the Interedition coordinating platform

  17. Secondary Objectives • Set of proof of concept web services • Proposals to acquire funding for production implementation level research and development • Obtain wider European involvement

  18. Benefits • Effective and efficient international collaboration between researchers and developers of the infrastructure • Roadmap for production implementation • Recommendations for formats, services and protocols • Increased European dissemination of knowledge and know how about tools and infrastructure for digital scholarly editing • Creation of opportunities for new scholarly research collaborations

  19. Organization • Management Committee • Project Manager • Working Groups Strategic IT(WG2) Roadmap(WG3) Prototyping(WG1) EU Dimension(WG4)

  20. Dissemination • Target groups, differentiated levels of expertise • Workshops • Key PR occasions • Conference presentations • Active European ´reach out´ program
