Modeling semantically Enriched Digital Edition of Accounts (MEDEA)
Regensburg 22. Oct. – 24 Oct. 2015
Account books have long been used as primary sources for economic and social history since they allow scholars to explore the development of economic behavior on both a macro- and micro-structural level. A number of projects in Europe and the United States have begun to explore models for digitizing such sources.
The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) has developed useful models to encode texts and digital scholarly editions, and the semantic web offers opportunities to collect and compare data from multiple digital projects. The MEDEA project looks at these methods with the goal of developing broad standards for producing semantically enriched digital editions of accounts. It will foster discussion of benefits and deficiencies in existing standards by bringing together economic historians, scholarly editors, and technical experts to discuss and test the emerging methods for semantic markup of account books.
