Abstract: This paper analyzes the process of producing digital editions of historical/cultural dictionaries as tools for knowledge preservation based on an interplay of production technologies (XML, Text Encoding Initiative), editorial practices (representation, annotation, metadata) and semantic taxonomies. It is fitting that this project is being launched by the Miguel de Benavides Library of the University of Santo Tomas after the resounding success of LUMINA PANDIT (Part I) last year, 2011, the year of the University’s quadricentennial celebration. LUMINA PANDIT: An Exhibition of Historical Treasures, showcased the rarest items in the University’s archives section at the same time flaunted the significant role that UST played in the building of a nation with the first interactions of the Dominican missionaries with the natives of the land. People from different walks of life took advantage of the exhibit which ran from January 2010 to March 2011.
Keywords: Text Encoding Initiative, Representation, Annotation, Metadata, Extensible Markup Language.
