Abstract
The contribution is based on the position that, with regard to digital editions, the highest possible degree of digital sustainability of data, presentations, functionalities, and programme code should be ensured. This represents a significant challenge, especially in case of smaller digital humanities projects with limited financing, which does not allow for the long-term maintenance of technically-demanding digital editions. The alternative solutions facilitated by the swift development of static websites in the recent years are presented in the contribution. Digital editions based on the TEI have been successfully included in the SIstory portal repository as static websites, employing basic XML (XSLT) and web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). All the static websites also have the possibility of displaying dynamic content.
Highlights
In digital humanities, the awareness of the importance of digital sustainability and permanent preservation of digital sources has been present for a long time (Schaffner and Erway 2014, 7)
I will present the experience gained by generating static websites for the digital editions in the context of the activities of the Research Infrastructure of Slovenian Historiography, which, among other tasks, manages the History of Slovenia – SIstory web portal
The display of the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines (TEI) document’s metadata from the element is adaptable. This transformation can be initially specified by including the generic division (), whose @type attribute value should be set to teiHeader
Summary
The awareness of the importance of digital sustainability and permanent preservation of digital sources has been present for a long time (Schaffner and Erway 2014, 7). I will present the experience gained by generating static websites for the digital editions in the context of the activities of the Research Infrastructure of Slovenian Historiography, which, among other tasks, manages the History of Slovenia – SIstory web portal.. The use of standard formats like TIFF and JPEG for digital photographs, HTML and XML for texts, and so on, ensures that the digital editions created will remain readable and useful for a long time to come (Turco 2016) This paradigm started to be emphasised in other similar projects in the field of digital humanities as well (Viglianti 2017; Daengeli and Zumsteg 2017; Diaz 2018). The profile allows for the transformations of: –– individual TEI documents;
