Scholarly editions of historically significant texts are important in
the humanities, but expert editorial work is difficult and funding
is scarce. Current Web technology can be used to improve the return on
investment by making editors' work available more quickly, more fully,
and more widely. This video includes a report on the successes, as well as
on current efforts to exploit linked data to improve descriptive control
over research notes and to enable the creation of “structured” notes
incorporating temporal, geospatial, or prosopographical information. More information about this presentation is available at
