“…The platform thus aims to become a collaborative workspace for sharing the results of research queries and expanding the critical apparatus of the edition, for example with secondary bibliography on the text linked to the referenced fragments. The objective to afford collective annotation that can target the collection at various levels of semantic granularity and to create a platform for scholarly communication is motivated by the processual and open-ended nature of Leopardi's discourse, and has been informed in particular by the notions of "knowledge site" (Shillingsburg 2006), "fluid, co-operative and distributed editions " Robinson 2004), "dynamic contextualization" (D'Iorio 2016), "reusable third-party annotations" (Koolen, Boot 2020), among other scholarly contributions to the design of a "social edition" (Siemens et al 2012;Price 2016). Many levels of discursive mediation are needed for the methods of close and distant reading to productively inform one another, but the fragmented discourse of the Zibaldone lends itself precisely to a performative reading that requires both: in the process of configuring its constellations of insights -perhaps arrested by a colpo d'occhio -we also cultivate the phenomenological attention that drives its hermeneutic project.…”

Building Relations and Enhanced Relationality 11 4 Of Hard Work and Entering Global Classification SystemsAs this issue opens the fourth year in a row of our scientific venture, we are pleased to announce that the international relations, hard work, and novel collaborations inaugurated along this editorial path already bore considerable fruits. Indeed, magazén has just been accepted for SCOPUS, since the Scopus Content Selection & Advisory Board (CSAB) approved our application for coverage. The reviewers attested that "this is a well organised journal publishing material that is likely to interest SCOPUS users", as it "consistently includes articles that are academically sound and relevant to an international academic or professional audience in the field". We cannot but share our satisfaction and pride with the many scholars working to make magazén possible, but the SCOPUS classification also encourages us to dig deeper in the domain of Digital and Public Humanities, as well as making some changes to our editorial project. At this point we feel that we have reached a novel phase and broader audience, which allows us to completely open the journal to our scholarly community. In the first four years, by publishing thematic issues we were trying to establish our journal as a new platform that fosters an international and open debate about the fundamentals of our scholarly field. From now on, however, we believe we can move past specific subjects and methodological topics, thus truly highlighting recent challenges and cutting-edge experiences in our interdisciplinary domain. In order to do so, together with the Editorial Board we resolved to stay open for single paper proposals from international scholars as well as for covering entire issues with guest editors. Thus, magazén will look even more like a place for sharing and arguing such as in the public house at the time of the Venetian Republic, from which we derived our journal title magazén (Tassini 1970, 364-5).Given our recent SCOPUS classification, we particularly wish to express our gratitude to all scholars and experts involved over the last four years in the making of this magazén: our Advisory Board members, all published authors, the uncountable peer reviewers, the strenuous members of the editorial board, as well as our publisher's team. We will cherish this splendid relationship.

The past decades have changed the way we deal with archives and archival materials. Archives digitised their inventories and part of their collections, but they were joined by many other parties who published archival collections and archive-worthy materials on the web. The information world is in continuous flux, and the developments have made clear that archives and libraries have lost much of their position as the vested authorities of information access. They are challenged by technological parties and citizen science that have as yet not established themselves in definitive positions as information brokers. We propose to analyse the field in terms of information authority, a composite of many different aspects that all contribute to its importance, availability and use. In this article, we first explore the issue of (information) authority in the digital realm, and explain why we choose a conflict metaphor to analyse the different types of partners in the information ecosystem. Digital archives call for cooperation and openness as information is ‘everywhere’, but this is hard to realise as it requires translating intentions into technical means. To maintain their position of authority, archives adopt standards and regulations. We argue that openness is the key, but hard to organise with the existing standards because they are used in monolithic ways that make it hard to combine information. Combining asks for methods from established scholarly and archival disciplines as well as from technology. Furthermore, sharing and cooperation require a harmonisation of contexts: the different contexts in which information is created and organised need to be aligned to understand how collections can be combined across different dimensions. This calls for providing (structured) metadata that define the scope of a collection, to allow one to determine whether combining information is useful. At the moment, the state of affairs is in flux and there is no fixed methodology. In the last part, we explore ways to facilitate and evaluate interdisciplinary communication and collaboration on methodology to address the preceding challenges of producing quality, in all realms.
