›A digital edition is not visible‹ - some thoughts on the nature and persistence of digital editions

Abstract

Nach einer Phase des Experimentierens und Ausprobierens haben sich digitale Editionen weitgehend durchgesetzt und gelten als ernstzunehmende, ja bessere Alternative zu gedruckten Editionen. Mit TEI/XML steht zudem ein konsolidierter Standard für die Auszeichnung der relevanten strukturellen und semantischen Elemente einer Edition zur Verfügung. Doch nach wie vor begleitet diesen Prozess der Konsolidierung teils scharfe Kritik, vor allem mit dem Vorwurf, dass das auf XML basierende Markup ein Textmodell der Ordered Hierarchy of Content Objects (OHCO) begünstige, das zahlreichen Editionsproblemen nicht gerecht werde bzw. die Flexibilität des Editors einschränke. In der Folge sind vielfältige Versuche unternommen worden, diese Einschränkungen von XML zu überwinden, ohne dass sich jedoch eine der vorgeschlagenen Alternativen durchgesetzt hätte. Zugleich ist mit der Engführung der Kritik auf das scheinbar durch den XML Standard bedingte Textmodell aus dem Blick geraten, dass eine digitale Edition aus mehr besteht als lediglich einer XML Datei. Der Beitrag versucht aufzuzeigen, dass die einseitige Kritik an XML sich weitgehend auflöst, wenn die digitale Edition nicht nur als XML Datei, sondern als Ensemble ihrer Komponenten verstanden wird. Zugleich läßt sich daran aufzeigen, dass die digitale Edition, anders als ihre Kritiker behaupten, keinesfalls flüchtiger oder instabiler ist als ihr gedruckter Vorgänger. Das scheinbar Flüchtige löst sich auf, wenn sie nicht mehr aus der sichtbaren Oberfläche, sondern, ihrer algorithmischen Natur folgend, aus dem funktionalen Zusammenspiel aller Komponenten von Text, Struktur, Layout, Schnittstelle und Metadaten, bestimmt wird.

After a period of experimentation and prototyping, digital editions are considered a common standard and a serious, quite often even a better alternative to printed editions. In addition the TEI/XML provides a well introduced standard for mark-up of all relevant structural and semantic elements of an edition. In spite of this process of consolidation the digital edition is still accompanied by harsh critique, particularly by objecting that mark-up leaning on XML fosters a text model of an Ordered Hierarchy of Content Objects (OHCO) that does not fit all editorial problems and limits the flexibility of the editor. As a consequence many attempts have been undertaken to overcome these limits of XML, but up to now without much success. By narrowing down the perspective, however, to problems of the text model seemingly caused by XML it was often overlooked that a digital edition consists of more than a XML file. This contribution attempts to show that the critique can be dissolved when the edition is viewed not merely as a XML file, but as an ensemble of its components. In doing so it can also be shown that other than its critiques maintain a digital edition is not less stable or persistent than its printed predecessor. The seeming fluidity of digital edition disappears if it is no longer determined by its visible surface, but according to its algorithmic nature by the interplay of its components of text, structure, layout, interface and metadata.
