Online Community Editing for Ancient Texts

The Perseus Project has announced the development of Perseids:

“…a web-based, fully audited, version-controlled editing environment built on the Son of SUDA Online (SoSOL) platform, originally developed for the papyrological community but designed for applicability to other editing communities.” ( http://sosol.perseus.tufts.edu/sosol/)

Perseus is adding support to SoSOL for the CTS/CITE Architecture and OAC core data model. It will enable the collaborative editing of texts in a framework of rigorous and transparent peer-review and credit mechanisms and strong editorial oversight.

Perseids/SoSOL is being used at the Leipzig Atheneus hackathon.
