Proto4DigEd
The goal of the Open Research Data (ORD) project funded by swissuniversities was to test and further develop prototypical workflows in the conceptual phase of digital edition projects. Proto4DigEd tested and documented the use of established tools (Transkribus, TEI Publisher) using selected documents from the PARES project as examples. Key outcomes of the project include a "Handbook for Creating a Digital Edition" and an associated "Showcase Edition".
Information about the research project PARES can be found here.

The first workshop, focusing on transcription workflows, took place in the spring of 2024. On September 11, 2024, a workshop on long-term archiving of TEI-XML editions was held. Here is the program for the workshop: Proto4DigEd Workshop II_11.09.24 (PDF, 232 KB)
In the summer of 2024, initial results of the project were presented at the DARIAH Annual Event in Lisbon: Proto4DigEd: Prototypical Workflows for Digital Editions (zenodo.org).
