DiScEPT: a distributed environment for digital scholarly editions

The DiScEPT project aims to create an environment for the production and publication of digital editions. Its method-ology is grounded in multiple models that take into account document materiality, textual criticism, and, in particular, the analysis of parallel corpora. The project adopts a distributed environment that relies on a range of open-source software components, integrated through APIs. Each step of the digital edition process can thus be performed using highly specialized platforms that offer optimal solutions for specific tasks, minimizing the need for customization and ensuring interoperability. This paper presents the approach adopted for the implementation of the distributed environment, highlighting the role of CLARIN’s tools and services in supporting the development of the DiScEPT project and ensuring the long-term preservation of its data within a sustainable framework.
