2. Scholarly
Edi=ons
• Provide

texts
of
works
of

significance
• They
contain:
– historical
and
textual
essays,
– explanatory
notes,
– appendixes

scholarly
apparatus

of
the
work

Ontology
• Agents
can
be
individuals,
organisa=ons,
or
groups
par=cipa=ng
in
an
Event.
• Events
can
specify
a
point
or
dura=on
of
=me
in
which
an
Agent
or
Agents
work
together
to
produce
an
Artefact.
Events
have
four
main
types:
composi=on
for
the
produc=on
of
manuscript
material;
edi=on
for
the
produc=on
of
books;
serialisa=on
for
the
produc=on
of
periodical
publica=on;
and
recep=on
for
the
produc=on
of
an
Artefact
as
a
wriZen
response
to
a
Work.
• Artefacts
are
the
material
objects
(e.g.
manuscripts,
magazines,
and
books)
that
readers
use
to
engage
with
a
Work.
Versions
are
embodied
in
an
Artefact.
An
Artefact,
such
as
a
revised
typescript,
can
embody
one
or
more
Versions.
An
Artefact
can
also
provide
access
to
more
than
one
Work.
• DigitalResources
are
images
or
transcrip=ons
that
act
as
digital
surrogates
for
Artefacts.
• Versions
are
embodied
in
an
Artefact
and
realise
a
Work,
ac=ng
as
a
conceptual
link
between
material
and
abstract
en==es.
• Works
are
conceptual
constructs
that
enable
Artefacts
and
Versions
to
be
organised
and
related
under
a
common
parent.

27. Challenges
• Annotate
selec=ons
regardless
of
rendered
format/view
– E.g.
HTML
rendered
directly
from
TEI
vs
as
rendered
via
colla=on
tool,
Images
viewed
directly
vs
images
displayed
through
lightbox
tool
• Allow
annota=on
while
text
is
s=ll
being
edited/
corrected
– E.g.
use
TextQuoteSelector
and
“Fuzzy”
matching
• Query
and
display
annota=ons
of
text
selec=ons,
textual
varia=on
across
versions
– When
large
sec=ons
text
might
have
been
transposed

is
proud
to
be
in
partnership
with
the
Na=onal
eResearch
Collabora=on
Tools
and
Resources
(NeCTAR)
project
to
create
a
unique
opportunity
to

This
project
will
benefit
the
Australian
research
community
by
providing
an
online

publishing
plaworm
that
contributes
to
the
preserva=on
and
understanding
of
literary,
classical,
theological
and
philosophical
texts
that
have
shaped
our
cultural
heritage.
