Abstract

Textual scholars use the collation for creating critical and genetic editions, or for studying textual transmission. Collation tools allow to compare the sources and detect the presence of textual variation; but they do not take into account the kind of variation involved. In this paper, we aim at enhancing the model used by software for semi-automatic collation. We provide a way to record descriptions of the variation and structure them into annotations. Annotations are stored in a relational database; a number of possible queries are suggested.
