Briefe und Texte aus dem intellektuellen Berlin um 1800

Abstract

The digital edition “Briefe und Texte aus dem intellektuellen Berlin um 1800” collects letters and texts depicting the intellectual life of the early 19th century Berlin. The transcribed letters and texts are diligently edited and richly annotated with metadata and enriched with authority control data. While an edition specific TEI-XML schema is missing, great effort is made to make the editorial work transparent and accessible. The edition faces some challenges of long time support and availability, but long term access is facilitated with the raw XML data of the digital edition being provided openly licensed and easily accessible for download.
