<p>Historically, the word “text” comes from the Proto-Indo-European word <i>teks-</i>, meaning “to weave, to fabricate, to make; make wicker or wattle framework”. The written word is a text, and so is a conversation, both represent the exchange of shared concepts woven into the fabric of communication. There is also an exchange between written and spoken texts; discussions which influence writing, and writing which sparks conversations.
|
|
|
</p><p>The digital library creates texts through its catalogue, where the metadata for each entry comprises a paratext<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup> that not only adds meaning to the core text, but also influences how a reader will discover it in the collection by fields such as <i>tags</i> and <i>description</i>. Metadata which is downloaded and entered automatically comes from online commercial sources has a particular promotional tone. Those who write metadata should do so subjectively; descriptions based on personal significance represent the text and the readers, equivalently.
|
|
|
</p><p>The library is sustained through producing texts.
