Description

This session will devote itself to the topic of digital interpretation: how repositories and manuscript database projects and their tools can be utilised to render books visible to the viewer, through description or more transparent metadata. The aims of the session will be to highlight critical methodological and conceptual frameworks and make suggestions for the best way forward in our brave new digital world.
