*SUMMARY*
Digital Scholarly Editions as Interfaces is the 12th volume in the IDE book series and contains thirteen contributions that critically discuss the role and application of interfaces in digital scholarly editions (TOC see below). Interfaces allow the direct interaction of the user with the content of a digital edition and are - no matter if as GUI or API – integral to the discussion about data access and usability. The volume “Digital Scholarly Editions as Interfaces” contains contributions from the conference of the same name, which was organized by ZIM-ACDH and DiXiT at the University of Graz in 2016.
