+abstract: >-
+  This example edition is to build a sample edition data set that can be installed in eXist-db alongside Edirom-Online. 
+  The data set is to provide two perspectives on Edirom Online: (1) A feature based perspective providing test 
+  respective sample data for single features available in Edirom-Online that can be used to: (a) test the 
+  implementation of certain features, (b) explore the steps necessary to provide a certain feature in the context of 
+  your edition's data; (2) A user or content based perspective illustrating the capabilities of Edirom-Online in an 
+  annotated manner.
