Hi, please forgive me in advance if my technical knowledge isn't up to speed and I
don't entirely understand the issues.
From what I've seen, there is currently an effort
to allow database functions for metadata about Wikisource texts.
That in itself is
of course very cool.
My question is about the actual texts themselves (not just the metadata describing them):
Often there is more than one good way to format and present a single text. In the current
Wikimedia environment this forces the community to decide on which format for any given
text is the best one for readers and users. But in a true database environment it would be
possible to tag all of the different possibilities within the text itself, allowing the
reader or user to choose which format best serves his or her needs.
Is this possibility related to any of the current discussions?
