Digital Society Initiative

Towards Bridging Digital Editions: ORD-Xplore

The DSI Community Libraries is elighted to announce that one of its associated research projects, ORD-Xplore, is coming to a fruitful conclusion. ORD-Xplore occupied itself with digital editions in the context of usability and accessibility. Digital editions are collections of historical documents in digital form, commonly used in digital libraries and research, including the digital humanities. While they provide valuable open research data, they often exist as isolated islands on the Web. Their diversity, heterogeneity, and varying use of standards pose significant interoperability challenges, hindering efficient access, findability, and reusability. To assist digital librarians in unifying these editions, ORD-Xplore aimed to develop an interactive visual data analysis tool, established in collaboration with experts from the UZH Zentrum für Digitale Editionen (ZDE).  

ORD-Xplore enables experts to explore textual, temporal, and spatial connection types across six digital editions, from the ZDE. ORD-Xplore is an important step towards wider accessibility of heterogeneous open research data in digital editions, enhancing standardization and cross-edition interoperability. The participants of this event are presented with the opportunity to gain valuable insight into the project fresh off the printing press so to speak.
