Beyond Ownership

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Both the current ownership model of Noosphere and Planetary and the "everybody can edit" model of wikis are rather crude when compared with the actual practices and norms of the scholarly commmunity, so we should replace them with something more sophisticated. One particular problem is that they confound authorial and editorial roles. so we will want to disambiguate the ability to modify a text from from which expression of a work is displayed as a default.

Here is a tentative roadmap:

  • Store versions of articles in Git. (#67)
  • Devise a format based upon TEI and FRBR for recording editorial history. (#68)
  • Devise a query language for choosing works and expressions. (#69)
  • Upgrade collections facility to allow automatic generation based upon queries
    in this language. (#70)
