2) The Collaboration:
The project group at Media Upheavals and the ELO have been collaborating since the summer of 2007. The Siegen database of Critical Works will be folded into the Electronic Literature Directory, version 2.0 that will be found on this site. In addition to collecting works, we are developing a recording format and metadata standard that will be portable and shared, and a model for literary archival projects web-wide.
