Experiments in digital publishing: creating a digital compendium

This chapter not only introduces the user and reader to the goals of the digitally provided index and the methods used for it. It also expands on the broader applicability of digital methods in view of electronic publishing, and to the problems involved. The chapter focuses on two aspects of the making of the Structures of Epic Poetry compendium, where digital tools played a central role: the creation of the index locorum and the development of a digital compendium to the printed volumes.
