As most Wittgenstein scholars and enthusiasts are well aware, the [https://wab.uib.no/ Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen (WAB)] maintain a rich collection of online resources related to Ludwig Wittgenstein's ''Nachlass''—including for example the [https://wittgensteinsource.org "Wittgenstein Source" website], which, since as early as 2009, offers a static edition of Wittgenstein's manuscripts and typescripts in facsimiles and transcriptions. | As most Wittgenstein scholars and enthusiasts are well aware, the [https://wab.uib.no/ Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen (WAB)] maintain a rich collection of online resources related to Ludwig Wittgenstein's ''Nachlass''—including for example the [https://wittgensteinsource.org "Wittgenstein Source" website], which, since as early as 2009, offers a static edition of Wittgenstein's manuscripts and typescripts in facsimiles and transcriptions. Moreover, since 2012, the WAB's [https://wab.uib.no/sfb/ "Semantic faceted search and browsing" (SFB) website] allows readers and researchers across the globe to search, filter and display individual remarks from the ''Nachlass'', or collections thereof, based on their content or relevant metadata. And, since 2016, the WAB's [https://wab.uib.no/transform/wab.php?modus=opsjoner "Interactive dynamic presentation" (IDP) website] makes it possible for users to view entire manuscripts or typescripts, or collections thereof, in a linear or diplomatic style, while dynamically selecting which sets of information to display. | ||

All three websites display their human-readable output by using dedicated software to index and parse the WAB's machine-readable transcriptions of Wittgenstein's manuscripts and typescripts. These transcriptions of the handwritten or typewritten material are encoded in the [[wikipedia:XML|XML]] format following the [[wikipedia:Text Encoding Initiative|TEI guidelines]]. While the transcriptions were originally published as part of the CD-based ''Bergen Electronic Edition'' (Oxford University Press 2000), the Wittgenstein Source, SFB, and IDP websites now allow anyone who has an Internet connection to easily browse them. | All three websites display their human-readable output by using dedicated software to index and parse the WAB's machine-readable transcriptions of Wittgenstein's manuscripts and typescripts.

The visual items that were recreated are those that had already been included as redrawings (as opposed to encoded as XML and Unicode) by the WAB as of October 2022. In other words, the scope of the redrawn graphics has not changed since the early phase of the work to transcribe the ''Nachlass'', and the visuals that were initially encoded as XML and Unicode are still encoded in the same way. | The visual items that were recreated are those that had already been included as facsimile snippets or redrawings (as opposed to encoded as XML and Unicode) by the WAB as of October 2022.
