CoPhi Editor: the web platform for the ongoing and online collaborative edition of Herculaneum papyri
A familiar environment to work with
CoPhi Editor is a web environment for digital scholarly editing based on Domain Specific Languages (DSLs).
It supports editorial conventions familiar to papyrologists, implements a fully collaborative editing process of the texts, and checks intra and inter texts consistency.
The environment manages conjectures and integrates a full-fledged textual search engine. Finally, it is highly flexible and customizable.
Domain Specific Languages
We identified six dimensions along which to evaluate the most common textual editing approaches: Familiarity, Completeness, Consistency, Compactness, Transparency, Actionability.
Compared to Word Processor (WP), Complex Graphical User Interfaces (GUI), and Structured Text Encoding (ST), only the DSL approach seems to encompass all of them.
Ongoing review process
CoPhi Editor provides textual scholars with functionalities aimed at continuously reviewing and commenting the editorial choices and conjectures by putting in place an ongoing editorial workflow.
