Centre for electronic publishing in literary studies
The "Centre for Electronic Publishing
in Literary Studies" (ZEPL) was founded at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University
Munich/Germany in January 2003 in order to promote electronic
publishing in literary studies.
To this end, the ZEPL
- gathers information about electronic
publishing in literary studies
- collects, maintains, and conveys
information about relevant open source standards, such as
for data storage or metadata exchange
- tests technology for electronic
publishing and releases the results
- develops open source software
packages for electronic publishing in literary studies
- organises workshops and meetings
for online editors in literary studies
At this time, the ZEPL is supported
by the publishers of three online magazine (Forum
Computerphilologie, IASLonline,
Medienobservationen), and by
Dr. Marcel Schellong.
