Introduction into the Digital Editorial Work

The chapter "2. Editing work" covers the work steps from text constitution annotated text and thus the 'classic' edition-philological work. The handbook describes and reflects on how this can be realised with the help of digital tools.

Particular attention is paid to the question of which standards exist in the workflow of editorial work, which limitations are associated with these standards and when it might be useful for projects to deviate from these standards.
