Digital Editions at the Bibliotheca Hertziana

Abstract

Digital editions of books are enjoying a tremendous success in recent years, especially after COVID pandemics limited the access to physical books. But digital editions can be much more than just a digital reproduction of the pages of a printed book. For this reason, the Bibliotheca Hertziana, among other institutions, is investing lot of resources in order to improve the offer of digital publications, with the support of new technologies such as neural text recognition. Crucial points include the use of shared standards such as TEI XML and open source platforms such as TEI Publisher to ensure long-term accessibility and preservation.
