Variants and Versioning between Textual Bibliography and Computer Science

Abstract

Some challenging questions arise today on the relations between textual bibliography and computer science: can philologists and computer scientists collaborate not only for encoding variants in digital form -- Critical Editions -- but also for interpreting these variants from a qualitative and quantitative point of view? Which are the potentialities of a critical approach to the textual bibliography, supported by versioning categories and tools? And, in general, are the studies of text variants fated to disappear or will computer science be able to provide new methods and tools to investigate the origins and evolutions of a text?
