Este artigo categoriza as estratégias de recodificação digital presentes no "Arquivo Digital da PO.EX" e analisa a reflexividade intermedial da escrita, da imagem e do código em textos visuais de Ana Hatherly, E. M. de Melo e Castro e José-Alberto Marques. A recodificação digital permite apreender a complexa topologia da página impressa como articuladora dos sinais escritos na produção de sentido.

The aim of PO.EX: A Digital Archive of Portuguese Experimental Literature (http://po-ex.net/) is to represent the intermedia and performative textuality of a large corpus of experimental works and practices in an electronic database, including some early instances of digital literature. This article describes the multimodal editing of experimental works in terms of a hypertext rationale, and then demonstrates the performative nature of the remediation, emulation, and recreation involved in digital transcoding and archiving. Preservation, classification, and networked distribution of artifacts are discussed as representational problems within the current algorithmic and database aesthetics in knowledge production.

This article presents “Ciberia”, a collection of electronic literature works in Spanish, housed in OdA 2.0., a learning objects‟ repository of the University Complutense of Madrid. The Ciberia project involves experimentation at the humanistic and technological level, since it deals with the challenge of archiving digitally-born literary works as well as with the archiving process itself, which we are carrying out in OdA 2.0, a data management system for the creation of learning objects repositories on the Web. OdA allows different researchers to work collaboratively in a simultaneous manner on the data base, they can not only introduce new objects but they can also modify the data model. This entourage allows us to create taxonomies in an inductive rather than deductive manner. The article covers aspects such as the objectives of the collection, the elaboration of Ciberia‟s bibliographic card, the process of metadata cleaning and reconciliation with other collections of the Linked Data cloud, such as the CELL Project, and Ciberia‟s research and pedagogical functions. Moreover, we will showcase some of its most representative literary works as we revise the process of the collection‟s creation.
Ciberia Project has emerged around the creation of Ciberia, a digital archive dedicated to digital literature in Spanish, with the purpose of making its contents more widely shared and fostering community building around digital literature. This project in-tends to function as a platform for a community interested and/or specialized in new creative forms of literary publishing, using the Ciberia database as the confluence point and origin of collective interaction, creation and reflection on digital literature and its ramifications in the field of literary publishing. This paper provides a descrip-tion of the digital library Ciberia, and its spin-off, the web platform Ciberia Project, offering a detailed account of their structure and potentialities.

In their article "A Survey of Electronic Literature Collections" Luis Pablo and Maria Goicoechea describe characteristics and functions of collections of electronic literature and analyze descriptors used and the way information can be accessed. Based on their observations, Pablo and Goicoechea advocate a database structure which is flexible and can produce a dynamic archiving model as texts are registered and collected so that tags form a close set for the texts in the collection and this set can expand as new texts make new tags necessary. Further, the organization of tags into ever more complex taxonomies seems inevitable, since this provides an accurate description of knowledge accumulation with respect to the field's richness. They postulate that the study of tagging practices applied to digital works provides us with guidelines not only to describe texts of electronic literature, but also to demonstrate the wide variety of forms which a literary text can embody.

Teri Rueb describes Itinerant and quotes excerpts from the project's vocal track. The installation-style piece uses a GPS system and a headseat. As the participant walks through the allotted space, the GPS cues various recordings. Rueb claims to want "to implicate the participant as a charged body in public space whose movement and presence become critical agents in structuring the meaning of the work.
