Interedition's aim is to promote the interoperability of the tools and
methodology we use in the field of digital scholarly editing and
research. Toward this aim Interedition organizes meetings for experts in
both digital and non-digital scholarly editing to further the ideas
and concepts for interoperability of digital tools. As a result
Interedition will produce a road map for the realization of a
supranational digital infrastructure for scholarly editions and
research, accompanied by a number of proof-of-concept web services to
demonstrate the viability of the ideas and concepts put forward by
Interedition as a networked research platform.

== Meetings ==

The Interedition project has had several meetings, to see details of these see ''[[Past meetings]]''.  There is also a page on ''[[Upcoming meetings]]'' which will contain information (as available) on the next project meeting.

== Working Groups ==

Interedition is organized in 4 Working Groups that are supported by a
Management Committee. At the Birmingham Working Group meetings we
intend to have the Working Groups cover the following:

=== Working Group 1, 'European Dimension' ===

Working Group 1 is concerned with gathering and disseminating information on digital scholarly edition creation and research as broadly as possible from the wider European Union domain. For the Birmingham meeting we hope that a number of interested partners will want to create a plan to produce:

* an overview of existing surveys and studies on digital scholarly editing and interoperability
* a [[AssociatedProjects|list of projects]] currently associated with Interedition, or who would like to be in touch with the Interedition project and whose work otherwise pertain to its objectives and/or community
* a list of key research organizations and researchers that should be consulted to further the aim of 'Interedition'
* a list of key (virtual) research and organizational communities and channels through which Interedition should disseminate its ideas and results
* a table of contents for an Interedition website

=== Working Group 2. 'Prototyping' ===

Working Group 2 will be committed to producing the proof-of-concept web services and tools accompanying the ideas and concepts that Interedition will develop. This Birmingham Working Group meeting will be aimed at:
* defining the thematic functionality for the prototype(s) to be build in the 2008/2009 period
* identifying the partners that want to build (parts) of the prototype(s)
* designing a work plan for cooperative building of the prototype(s)

==== Architecture ====

A draft document outlining a general approach to a possible architecture was delivered by Working Group 2 and is available at [[WG2:Architecture]]

==== Development ====

Development is coordinated via this wiki, see [[:Category:Development]]

=== Working Group 3. 'Strategic IT recommendations' ===

Working Group 3 should be committed to providing the methodological and theoretical underpinnings for Interedition. Although the 'IT' in the naming of the Working Group might suggest otherwise, we specifically mean this Working Group to be the place where IT-experts listen to experts in scholarly editing. to be able to express the primary tasks involved in scholarly editing in technical functional requirements and specifications. In the Birmingham Working Group meeting we'd like to have this Working Group focus on the following:

* primary tasks involved in the creation of scholarly editions
* thematic use cases for digital infrastructure for the production of scholarly editions
* thematic use cases for the reception or (intended) use of digital scholarly editions
* a list of key benefits scholarly editors may derive from digital editions
* a list of key benefits that users of editions may derive from digital editions

=== Working Group 4. 'Roadmap' ===

Working Group 4 will produce the document called 'Roadmap for An Interoperable Supranational Infrastructure for Digital Scholarly Editing'. The sole objective of the Birmingham meeting for this Working Group is to come up with a concept table of contents for the document. The table of contents of the document will in all likelihood be subject to major changes over the years. However we intend this table of contents to be a general guideline for the progress of the project as a whole, and so it will probably shape the objectives and content of future meetings and workshops.

== Future ==

Interedition has created a successful model of 'boot camps' for tools development; we would like this to continue after the COST action ends in April 2012.  Boot camps tend to be focused around particular topics or problem domains, so our first step is to maintain a list of the categories of projects and tools that might form the focus of future bootcamps: [[BootcampTopics]]

== About/Colophon ==
These are the Wiki pages of "Interedition". Interedition is an initiative that originated through the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands (an institute of the Netherlands Royal Academy for Arts and Sciences - KNAW) in 2006. Many institutions and individuals related to the Digital Humanities community joined he effort over time. During 2008-2012 Interedition is funded as a COST Action (IS0704: An Interoperable Supranational Infrastructure for Digital Editions). Key information about the Action structure can be found at the site of COST - European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research. You'll find an [http://www.cost.esf.org/index.php?id=233&action_number=IS0704 Overview of the Action] there, a downloadable Factsheet (Word), the possibility to download the pdf of the Memorandum of Understanding, and an overview of the participating countries and the Management Committee. After April 2012 Interedition will continue as a community effort, in part supported by the [http://www.huygens.knaw.nl Huygens ING].
