Short description of the project
The digital working environment ediarum is a solution consisting of several software components that allows scholars to edit transcriptions of manuscripts and prints in TEI-compliant XML, add commentaries and a critical apparatus as well as indexes and publish them on the web and in print.
ediarum builds on already existing third-party software components to focus development work on the specific needs and requirements of the scholarly editing community.
ediarum is being developed by TELOTA, the DH initiative at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
Project content
User-friendly working
Oxygen XML Author is used as the central software component of the working environment. In Oxygen XML Author, editors do not work in a code view, but in a user-friendly ‘author view’ comparable to common Office programmes, which is layouted using cascading stylesheets (CSS). Editors have several views to choose from, so that they can select the most suitable one for the work step at the mouse click. In addition, the scholars can apply XML markup at the touch of a button using a dedicated toolbar. For example, deletions can be marked in manuscripts or notes can be added. Names of persons or places can also be labelled with the corresponding TEI markup and at the same time linked to the respective entry in the central index of persons or places via a convenient selection list. The entire text can thus be easily and quickly labelled with TEI-compliant XML.
Collaborative working
The digital working environment uses the free XML database eXist-db as a central repository for XML documents. The database is installed on a server and accessible online. This allows all project members to access the same database and work together. The ediarum.DB module was developed to simplify setup and configuration.
Website
In addition to the actual input tool in Oxygen XML Author, a website based on eXist-db, XQuery and XSLT is also created for each project. This allows the researchers to easily browse or search through the current database. The website can - depending on requirements - be made accessible only to the project team or the entire public. Examples of digital editions created with ediarum can be found on the [ediarum website](https://www.ediarum.org/referenzen.html).
The ediarum.WEB module can be used to simplify the process of website development.
PDF preview
As a part of ediarum.BASE.edit version 2.1, a PDF preview is integrated, which allows TEI-XML documents to be converted directly from ediarum into a PDF. The design and formatting is done with XSLT and CSS and can therefore be extended and customised to suit the project requirements.
Adaptation to project-specific requirements
The aim of ediarum is to provide a core set of functions that can be developed and deployed across different projects (and institutions). This reduces the workload for all editing projects that use ediarum. The vast majority of functions can also be developed for editions of the same type across projects.
However, there is usually always a part of functions - even if very manageable - that have to be added due to the specific edition or research concept, or the individual project requirement. This is easily possible in ediarum, because in this way, it's bridging a gap between the necessary standardization and the equally necessary orientation towards research questions.

Publication of data on textual witnesses of the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead from the Academy project “Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead” (1994/2004–2012). Published in 2012, the portal offers descriptions, images and bibliographies of around 3000 textual witnesses of the Book of the Dead, as well as visualizations and evaluations of the objects, verses and motifs contained therein. It is a central resource for international research on the Book of the Dead and is continuously maintained by the CCeH.
DARIAH-DE (funded 2011-2019) supports humanities scholars and cultural scientists working with digital resources and methods in research and teaching. To this end, the network is establishing a digital research infrastructure and developing materials for teaching and further education in the field of Digital Humanities (DH). The DARIAH-DE operational cooperation (2019-2021) continues these goals.
