Historical-Critical Online-Edition of the Correspondence of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy

门德尔松收到的信件的版本满足了人们长期以来的愿望。除了信件的实际文本外，在线版还提供了重要的文献学评论，突出了信件的内容和背景，以及人物，机构，音乐作品和其他解释学相关目录的目录。而在项目阶段，编辑了1.926 Gegenbriefe，补充了他自己童年的信件，青年和他的早期旅行（1816年至1833年秋），以及从他的早期职业生涯和建立一个家庭（1833年秋季至1838年底），本项目阶段将致力于从1839年到1841年底的信件和Gegenbriefe。这一时期包括门德尔松作为Gewandhauskapellmeister的第四至第七个赛季，在他的监督下举办的各种音乐节，他的两个孩子的出生，在柏林合同的初步谈判，这导致他在1842年被转移到柏林进行“试用年”。第二个项目阶段建立在第一阶段开发的IT解决方案的基础上，主要是一个高效的XML/TEI集成解决方案。它包括一个真正为此项目开发的中间件，集成了一个文档管理系统（DMS）和复杂的版本处理，一个真正的数据库系统，具有丰富的搜索选项（方面），创新地将Oxygen-XML/TEI编辑器集成到中间件中，一个真正的Oxygen-Java插件，允许Oxygen编辑器完全访问所有数据集的所有集成目录，到目前为止，共有21974套。通过真正开发的Jason-API和扩展，中间件可以无缝地实现到任何CMS中。对于Oxygen编辑器，已经开发了一个广泛的框架，包括140个命令，附带的工具提示和在线教程。在后者的帮助下，用户，没有任何熟悉的XML/TEI程序，可以表示，注释和评论的通信的给定信件的任何功能，并链接这封信与其他信件和目录和相应的Meta数据，通过菜单和快捷方式上所见即所得表面。通过实施智能语义搜索系统，用户可以第一次完全访问门德尔松通信版及其设备的多层文本内容。一个创新的数据存储系统允许一个简单的传输存在于XML/TEI编码形式的整个语料库和所有伴随的XML/TEI数据，如目录，评论，链接等到一个存档。它还确保了它们的长期存储和重新激活它们的能力，而不管任何特定的平台配置。因此，XML/TEI文本数据以及完整的知识结构和表示格式可以以可持续的方式普遍得到保护。

The edition of the Gegenbriefe (=the letters that Mendelssohn received) satisfies a long-standing desideratum. In addition to the actual texts of the letters, the online-edition provides critical philological commentaries that highlight the contents and context of the letter as well as directories of persons, institutions, musical works and other hermeneutically relevant directories.While in the project stage 1.926 Gegenbriefe were edited, complementing his own letters from childhood, youth and his early travels (1816 to the autumn of 1833), as well as from his early professional career and the founding of a family (autumn of 1833 to the end of 1838), the present project stage will be devoted to the letters and Gegenbriefe from the period 1839 to the end of 1841. This period embraces Mendelssohn`s fourth to seventh season as Gewandhauskapellmeister, a variety of music festivals under his supervision, the birth of two of his children, the initial negotiations for a contract in Berlin, which led to his transfer to Berlin for a “probationary year” in 1842. The second project stage builds upon the results of IT-solutions developed during stage 1, primarily on a highly efficient XML/TEI integrative solution. It consists of a middleware which was genuinely developed for the purpose of this project, with integrates a document management system (DMS) and complex processing of versions, a genuine data bank system with rich search options (facets), the innovative integration of an Oxygen-XML/TEI editor into the middleware, a genuine Oxygen-Java-Plug in which allows the Oxygen editor complete access to all integrated directories with all data sets, amounting to 21.974 sets as of now. With a genuinely developed Jason-API and extension, the middleware can be seamlessly implemented into any CMS. For the Oxygen editor, an extensive framework has been developed, consisting of 140 commands, accompanying tool tips and an online tutorial. With the help of the latter, users, without any familiarity with XML/TEI procedures, can represent, annotate and comment any feature of a given letter of the correspondence and link this letter with other letters and directories and respective meta data, by way of menues and short cuts on a WYSIWYG-surface. Erroneous entries are thus avoided.By implementing an intelligent semantic search system, the multi-layered textual contents of the Edition of the Mendelssohn Correspondence and its apparatus, can be made fully accessible for users for the first time. An innovative data storage system allows an easy transfer of the whole corpus existing in XML/TEI coded form and all accompanying XML/TEI data such as directories, comments, links etc. into an archive. It also secures their long-term storage and capability to reactivate them irrespective of any specific platform configuration. The XML/TEI text data as well as the complete knowledge structure and representational format can thus be universally secured in a sustainable manner.
