How everyone can publish dictionaries on the Internet
At the time, the effort was enormous: the digitization of the 300 million printed characters of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's "German Dictionary" by a project team from the University of Trier took years. Even just structuring the entries for the online version was a major task. The ELEXIS project, funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 research framework program, has now come up with various solutions that make digitizing dictionaries easier. A tool developed by the Trier Center for Digital Humanities (TCDH) as part of the project at the University of Trier now makes it possible in principle for everyone to publish dictionaries on the Internet. There is no need for extensive technical knowledge to do this.

German Research Foundation funds digital edition of Franz Liszt's writings
Franz Liszt was not only a pianist and composer, but also left behind an extensive literary oeuvre in which he addressed social, cultural and aesthetic issues of his time. German, French and Hungarian scholars have now undertaken to publish all of Liszt's writings as an annotated and freely accessible digital edition. The project, led by Prof. Rainer Kleinertz (Saarland University), Prof. Dr. Dorothea Redepenning (Heidelberg University) and Dr. Claudia Bamberg (Trier Center for Digital Humanities), is being funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for an initial period of three years with around 500,000 euros.
