- ItemTowards a Model for Digital Scholarly Editions in South Africa(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2021-12) Upton, Zayne; Lucia, Christine; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Department of Music.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis describes the development of a platform for housing the new Michael Mosoeu Moerane Scholarly Edition. It explains how and why both the platform and this edition could provide a model for the further development of digital scholarly editions in South Africa. It lays bare the various steps, both technological and intellectual, that were involved in the journey towards this model, especially the tools that were used and adaptations that were made as changes to content occurred. This narrative is situated within the framework of digital online models that already exist, such as the Joshua Pulumo Mohapeloa Critical Edition and the Digital Mozart Edition. The thesis describes the Michael Mosoeu Moerane Scholarly Edition as it currently stands on the web-based platform, african-composersedition. co.za, from a content, user and administrator perspective. Lastly, it evaluates the model, the way it was constructed, and the reasoning behind this, in order to assess how it differs from similar editions elsewhere and what is, or is not, extendable in the South African context.
