The Jagiellonian Digital Platform is designed as a working environment for creating and publishing of digital scholarly editions. The editions within the Platform meet the varied needs of several humanities disciplines (literary studies, linguistics, history). The Platform builds on what is common and at the same time provides the possibility of customisation to the requirements of editors and the needs of readers and users. The platform follows the international standard for the encoding of textual data, TEI, and bases its visualisations on TEI Publisher. As a result, it enables publication of different types of editions: from the basic presentation of texts and documents in digital form to the most complex scholarly editions. There is room for various forms of textual delivery (transcriptions, translations, facsimiles) and annotations. Tools and working environment are not enough. To best serve the needs of editors, a consistent and efficient process for creating and publishing digital scholarly editions is needed. The project is developing such a process. It includes sets of good practices and workflows and takes into account both how scholarly editors work and how IT specialists, responsible for the technical side of editions, complete their tasks.

The project also aims to educate about digital editions, and the Platform showcases a selection of student projects created as part of teaching. The Jagiellonian Digital Platform is a part of the Flagship Project Digital Humanities Lab and cooperates with the Jagiellonian Centre for Digital Humanities.
