Directed by Eduardo Urbina, College Station (TX) 1998-. [On the "Virtual Editor" of EVE-DQ:] "This interface allows users to compose virtual editions of the Quixote. The copies of all editions in the variorum have been collated and all variants have been identified, classified and annotated. Users can select editions and chapters and then access the unedited text (documentary text) or the same text edited by a particular editor.
Users may customize the virtual variorum edition by selecting categories of variants and inclusion of annotations and/or emendations to compose their own editions. The existing variants and emended texts are color coded according to their categories. Cli[c]king on any of the variants, emendations and annotations opens another window showing their specific details and information.
The unedited text shows only the variants resulting from the collation between the base text and all other copies. Clicking on the highlighted variants shows the complete list of variants present on the collation. Users can click on the Folio numbers shown in the text to navigate to the browsing display to further check readings in the facsimile editions" [from resource]

Hg. von Christian Brockmann. Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, 2005-2008. Das Langzeitunternehmen versucht neue Wege zu gehen. Zu Galen, Kommentar zu Hippokrates, Über die Gelenke (ΓΑΛΗΝΟΥ, ΕΙΣ ΤΟ ΠΕΡΙ ΑΡΘΡΩΝ) ist 2005 eine "Probeedition" erschienen, die wahlfreie Zusammenstellungen von Handschriftenfaksimiles, neu erstelltem kritischen Text, Editions-Apparat, verschiedenen kanonischen Zählungen und Übersetzung erlaubt.

Streng genommen handelt es sich um retrodigitalisierte Druckausgaben. Der Anspruch ist es hier aber, zu den Autoren des russischen Kanons die jeweils besten Ausgaben als elektronische Volltexte verfügbar zu machen und mit weiterem Material (Forschungsliteratur, Briefeditionen etc.) zu kontextualisieren. Insofern erhebt das Projekt durchaus einen wissenschaftlichen und kritischen Anspruch. Verfügbar sind bisher die Editionen zu Pushkin, Batiushkov, Griboedov, Boratynskii, Tiutchev, Lermontov, Leo Tolstoy, Esenin, Sholokhov sowie als einzelne Werke "The Lay of Igor's Campaign" und als Werksammlungen "Byliny" und "Fairy Tales" (Skazki).

There are [via filters] currently three levels of detail offered: full view shows each scholion followed by all public elements that have been provided in the edition (not all elements appear for every scholion); expert view shows the same but also adds two optional elements intended for the author and collaborators; the view with trans. and app. shows only the scholion and a translation (if available) and the apparatus criticus (if there are variants).
The content can be filtered to include everything (prefatory material or arguments and scholia of all kinds); only the old scholia (scholia vetera); all scholia except those tagged as glosses ..." [from resource]

Directed by Vigdis Ystad, University of Oslo, 1998- . "A new historical-critical edition, with commentary, of Henrik Ibsen's writings, printed and unprinted, is in progress. It will comprise plays, poems, articles, lectures, letters, drafts and notes. [...] In addition to the texts, introductions, and commentaries found in the book edition, the electronic edition will include transcriptions of all known manuscripts and all printed versions from Ibsen's lifetime, as well as transcribed scores of Ibsen's musical dramas and compositions for his poems. [...] The electronic texts will be encoded with a view to a wide range of searches, allowing the user to move back and forth between various stages of a work's genesis. Pointers to secondary literature will be installed. The data base is planned to contain digitalized pictures pertaining to the playwright and his work. There will also be links to facsimiles of all known manuscript material by Ibsen's hand, and to his own drawings and paintings." [from resource]

Ziel des Projektes ist es, die insgesamt ca. 30.000 Seiten umfassenden Beschreibungstexte sowie die rund 1.000 Karten der Gebiete Pommerns nördlich der Peene in einer wissenschaftlichen Edition unter Anwendung modernster technischer Standards im Internet zur Verfügung zu stellen. [...] Bestandteile der Edition werden sowohl digitale Faksimiles der Originale als auch Bearbeitungen der im älteren Neuschwedisch vorliegenden Texte (Transkriptionen und Übersetzungen mit textkritischen und sachthematischen Annotationen) und Karten sein. Methodisch besonders innovativ ist die Verzahnung des Text- und des Kartenmaterials in einem Geoinformationssystem (Web-GIS)." [from resource]

Edited by Leo Jansen, Hans Luijten and Nienke Bakker, Den Haag, Huygens Institute, "All the surviving letters written and received by Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) are contained in this edition of his correspondence. [... It] include[s] not only complete facsimiles, but also the texts of Van Gogh’s letters in a parallel reading text version that retains the line breaks of the originals, a reading text version with continuous text, and a new English translation that renders the meaning of the original as faithfully as possible and is consequently not literary or interpretive.
The commentary, and in particular the annotations, is as complete as possible and as exhaustive as [...] was necessary to clarify the content of the letters – sometimes in a very nuanced or detailed manner – for modern readers. [The editors] have as far as possible identified Van Gogh’s literary and visual sources and illustrated all the works of art that could be traced. [...] The twofold objective behind all this was to publish Van Gogh’s letters as he wrote and intended them, and to place the correspondence as a whole in its historical context. The introductory chapters likewise serve this purpose." [from resource]

Bert Van Raemdonck, Universiteit Gent, 2011. "Het corpus omvat 1.419 brieven. Ze zijn getranscribeerd, gecodeerd en geannoteerd volgens de DALF Guidelines van het Centrum voor Teksteditie en Bronnenstudie (CTB-KANTL).
De geannoteerde brieven bevatten o.m. verwijzingen naar bijna 2.500 personen, 500 plaatsnamen, 1.000 titels van boeken, 650 tijdschriftartikelen en 350 gedichten. Een netwerk van 3.600 hyperlinks maakt een intuïtief en associatief gebruik van het corpus mogelijk.
Het corpus omvat behalve een kritische en een diplomatische transcriptie van alle bronnen ook een gedetailleerde beschrijving van alle relevante metadata en meer dan 3.000 digitale facsimile-afbeeldingen." [from resource]
"This fully eXist-driven web interface allows users to browse, search, view, and export the encoded letters or custom selections of letters in various formats: XHTML, XML, PDF. The letters can be visualized as reading text, diplomatic transcription, or XML source view, and facsimiles are offered where available. Most of these 1500 letters are in Dutch (180 are in French), and all of them deal with the Flemish literary journal 'Van Nu en Straks' (1893-1901). The encoding of the letters follows the DALF Guidelines for the Description and Encoding of Modern Correspondence Material (see http://www.kantl.be/ctb/project/dalf/ ), a customization of the TEI P4 Guidelines. So far, all information in the edition is in Dutch. An English version of the edition interface is available." [from mail to Hmanist Discussion Group]
