Digital edition

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under the heading Digital Edition , specialist science ( computational linguistics , edition philology , historical specialist informatics ) discusses the effects of the new media ( computers ) on the critical edition of texts (compare text criticism ) or documents . One of the central questions is the relationship between the text template or the document to be edited and digitization, for example by means of text coding .

The discussion about the digital edition began in the 1990s when the CD-ROM was used commercially as a cheap data carrier. The older attempts to use the computer for critical editions were often based on the model of the printed edition. This type is now known as the electronic edition . Instead, a digital edition tries to develop an information science model of the critical edition that can be implemented, for example, in XML formats.
