Abstract

This article presents a solution developed on top of the LdoD Archive for the classification of fragments in the context of a virtual edition, through the use of a serious game strategy. Participants select a classification for a fragment after following a series of steps that require them to propose tags for fragments and then vote on other participants’ tags. The goal of the game is twofold: it can be used as a crowdsourced tool to classify texts from the Book of Disquiet, in the context of a virtual edition, and it functions as a collaborative learning tool for the reading and analysis of texts from the Book of Disquiet.
