Call for papers

In recent years, numerous innovative digital scholarly edition (DSE) projects have been implemented in Switzerland. The result is a growing scientific community.
With the growing number of digital editions and the continuous availability of new edition data, issues of use and re-use are increasingly coming to the fore. However, many questions remain open and unresolved: Do editions meet the research needs? Which standards should future projects adopt? How do digital editions remain accessible after the end of the project? How can edition projects be linked with each other?
These questions are of great concern to researchers, infrastructure providers and knowledge management institutions. The conference will provide a framework to discuss current approaches with a focus on developments in Switzerland and in relation to the international landscape.

We invite researchers from all disciplines as well as librarians, archivists, IT specialists and other stakeholders to contribute to the conference. Papers and posters on the following topics are welcome:

• Sources and models of editions: critical, genetic, diplomatic, documentary, social, etc.
• Minimal editions and prototypical workflows
• Machine learning in scholarly editing
• Editions and Linked Open Data
• Editions and APIs
• Long term preservation of data
• Maintenance of interfaces by whom, where, until when and how
• Linking, aggregations and search
• Use and reuse of editions in research and beyond
• Digital scholarly editions in archives and libraries
• Data stewardship, research support and digital scholarly editions
