Annotations in Scholarly Editions and Research Functions, Differentiation, Systematization

The notion of annotation is associated in the Humanities and Information Sciences with different concepts that vary in coverage, application and direction of impact, but have conceptual parallels as well. This publication mirrors the increasing cooperation that has been taking place between the two disciplines within the scope of the digitalization of the Humanities. It presents the results of an international conference on the concept of annotation that took place at the University of Wuppertal in February 2019. This volume reflects upon different practices and associated concepts of annotation, both historical and contemporary. The publication puts them in relation to each other and attempts to systematize their commonalities and divergences in an interdisciplinary perspective.
