Future-Proofing Digital Editions: A Minimal Computing Approach
Gimena del Rio Riande (Digital Scholarly Editions | National Scientific and Technical Research Council, Buenos Aires (CONICET)/EXC 2020 Fellow 2025)
This contribution highlighted the crucial role of material, institutional and epistemological contexts in the production of digital editions. Moving beyond universalist, Anglo-European paradigms, it argued for decentralised and community-driven editorial practices that value local scholarly traditions, shared resources and linguistic diversity. Using collaborative digital projects in Latin America as a case study, the presentation demonstrated how a focus on minimal computing, the use of open technologies, and ownership of data and code can help to envision sustainable, low-infrastructure futures for digital editions.
