Abstract The article first explains the characteristics of digital editions and then discusses the requirements that must be met by a digital edition (“FAIR principles”, structural requirements). In a further section, the potential of a digital edition compared to the traditional print edition is presented (interoperability, different usage scenarios, further development, transparency). Finally, the current limitations for both the productive and the receptive use of digital editions are addressed: lack of expertise, lack of tools, necessary interdisciplinary cooperation, pending standardization and recognition of digital editions as scientific achievements.
