Abstract
The process of preparing electronic editions [SGK00] is long, time-consuming, and arduous for an editor or editors. Some of the work cannot be automated—editors, for example, must scrutinize every single letter of a document numerous times to come to fully informed decisions concerning script, meaning, and spelling
[Hay01]. The success of the ARCHway project, designed to alleviate unnecessary tedium of the editorial process lies, in major part, in correct manipulation of the data that forms the electronic edition.
