Semantic editions

TBA

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
