Albertus Magnus worked in many ways during his time: as a religious and preacher, as a superior, as a bishop and as a peace broker in his city of Cologne. The overall plan of the edition includes more than 70 works by Albert, which are to appear in 41 volumes. The aim is to convert the critical work edition into a digital edition.
Together with the Albertus Magnus Institute Bonn and the Aschendorff-Verlag Münster, which publishes the edition, the team of the Competence Center (Alexander Trauth, Radoslav Petkov) first retrodigitized the entire text inventory of the "Alberti Magni Opera omnia", marked it up in XML and transferred it to an online publication.
On October 20, 2016, Aschendorf Verlag, Münster commissioned the posting of the texts. In October 2020 the XML mark-up of the last editions by Dr. Silvia Donati (parvnat.7) with the texts "De nutrimento et nutrito" and "De sensu et sensato cuius secundus liber est De memoria et reminiscentia".

Topics
Digital Editions
Digital editions offer a wide range of options for processing sources scientifically and making them accessible in open access.
Full Text Digitization
High-quality full-text digitization in form of a diplomatic copy is a decisive requirement in order to store basic works in databases and, thus, to make them searchable and connectable.
Historical Manuscript and Book Studies
Virtual reconstructions and research of medieval and modern manuscripts and historical library holdings.
Implementing Research Projects Digitally
We model text data and multimedia objects, apply our tools and establish procedures, design websites and ensure sustainable research data management.
Project Management
We consider our work processes to be an interface between technical expertise, knowledge-based services and humanities research in the range of Digital Humanities.
Usability Engineering and UX
Users are people. We would like to support people and enable them to work with digital products in the best possible way.
XML / Web-Technologies
We consistently use generally accepted methods for the modeling, development and transformation of information.
