Semantic editions

I use the term semantic edition for a digital edition that aims to encode the entire contents, textual and non-textual, of a physical document.

I list here examples of some of the non-textual contents I have worked with digitally:

• Tools for multilingual reading: the Complutensian polyglot Bible
• Datasets for geographic maps: Ptolemy, Geography:
• Precomputed mathematical functions: Ptolemy, Almagest:
• Proofs with mathematical figures: Euclid, Geometry; Archimedes, Spiral Lines
• Grammatical inflectional tables
• Chronological computation: Jerome’s Chronicles
• Documents with ancient Greek musical notation (including manuscripts of Alypius)
• Manuscripts with musical notation in neumes
