View source for Paratext in Wittgenstein's Writings

The Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen (WAB) has since 1990 engaged in building marked-up and platform independent digital corpora of Wittgenstein primary and secondary sources. One important focus is the enrichment of these resources with metadata. I will present WAB’s metadata work incl. its organization through an ontology. I will also present a tool that permits “faceted browsing” of the metadata. I will try to relate WAB’s work on metadata to issues of “paratext”.
