Abstract:
The digital scholarly edition "Fernando Pessoa. Projects and Publications" was originally created in 2014, as part of a collaborative project between the Institute for the Study of Literature and Tradition (IELT) at the New University of Lisbon and the Cologne Center for eHumanities (CCeH) at the University of Cologne. Since the first publication of the online platform in 2017, not only has the corpus been expanded, but important changes in standardization and best practices in digital editions have been considered. Among these changes is the creation of Text+, an NFDI consortium with the goal of developing a research data infrastructure for language and text-based research. As part of the collaborative projects funded by Text+, in 2023 the Pessoa Digital team carried out a partial update of the project's technical infrastructures to better comply with best practices for sustainable development of digital editions. This presentation will focus on the work carried out during this period, discussing the significance of the changes implemented and how they fit into the Text+ infrastructure.
