Das Konzept ‚Nachnutzung‘ in der digitalen und in der analogen Edition

Thomas Burch, Jochen Strobel

Abstract

The article first reconstructs the linguistic concept of ‚Nachnutzung‘ (‘reuse’) from various contexts of use, before turning specifically to the reuse of research data in the practice of linking digital editions. In particular, the often dual-track nature of letter editions presents a challenge in terms of bringing together metadata from different projects. However, ‚Nachnutzung‘ is by no means an unknown concept in editorial practice, as can be easily demonstrated using random samples. The debate centres on the usefulness of the term ‚Nachnutzung‘ in editorial contexts in general.
