The European project Discovery has two main components: Philosource and Philospace. The Philosource federation contains an extensive, multilingual collection of reliable scholarly editions of philosophical texts, high quality reproductions of primary sources and a rich archive of videos including lectures and interviews featuring leading contemporary philosophers.
On top of this network of web sites lies Philospace, a desktop application that runs on a scholar’s personal computer and, thanks to the use of Semantic Web technologies, allows users to make ontology-based annotations and share them with other users or merge them with external sources.
Think of the sources as a vast territory ready to be explored, described, and mapped. You can travel and navigate through them at will but you can also design new maps and author guidebooks for others to read and respond to. Philosophy has often been thought of as a journey of exploration. This conference aims to show what this voyage could look like in the 21st century.
