Digitale Edition von Quellen zur habsburgisch-osmanischen Diplomatie 1500–1918 (Digital Scholarly Edition of Habsburg-Ottoman Diplomatic Sources 1500–1918), shortly referred to as QhoD, is a digital humanities project of the Institute of Habsburg and Balkan Studies of the Austrian Academy and Sciences. QhoD digitally edits written and material artifacts of Habsburg-Ottoman diplomatic encounters (1500-1918). In the first phase of the project that has been approved by the Austrian Academy of Sciences until December 31, 2024, archival artifacts concerning three eighteenth-century Habsburg-Ottoman grand embassy exchanges are being transcribed and digitally published. The Ottoman documents are translated into English. In my paper, I will present the data curation steps we have so far fulfilled in the QhoD project, hoping to explore along with the other panel participants and audience the potential future implications of our work in the field of digital Ottoman studies. QhoD digitally edits sources using standardized structural and semantic XML mark-up as described in the TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) guidelines. To summarize, the QhoD implementation that we have so far developed on the QhoD website allows digital marking up of named entities (persons, places, institutional references, etc.) along with the historical vocabulary of any conceivable theme, as well as dates, measurement units, foreign language use, and other relevant sets of information. This marked-up data is searchable and analyzable. The metadata gathered in this way is curated in a joint instance of the Austrian Prosopographical Information System (APIS) shared with another long-term project of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Die Ministerratsprotokolle 1848-1918 (Edition of the Minutes of the Council of Ministers of Austria and the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy). In the foreseeable future, APIS will contain hundreds of entries for Ottoman individuals, institutions, and place names. What is the potential of creating a similar digital curation pool for Ottoman historical data? What are additional data sources that could be integrated into a working environment for editing Ottoman documents at large? While QhoD is exploring potential frontiers of digital humanities research in the field of Ottoman studies, another significant feature that we are currently developing on the QhoD’s edition infrastructure is the interlinking of the primary sources with one another via cross-references. This feature will enable readers and future researchers to approach and evaluate a given historical issue from different perspectives and build their own interpretation. We also hope that this feature will be a highly instructive tool for the classroom teaching environment.
