Long abstractThe centrality of data is one of the key features of digital editions and digital scholarly resources in general. Data-driven philology involves practices that are new to textual criticism and can overcome the print paradigm, including data visualisation, data processing, and data reuse. In this paper we focus on the latter: data reuse. We provide a panorama of use cases for editions, highlighting the potential and current limitations of data reuse. Examples include the reuse of edition data in dictionaries and gazetteers, and reuse in the context of distant reading studies, particularly for intertextuality detection. The role of authority records in reusing data is also analysed. In the conclusions, we emphasise that data reuse is fundamental to strengthening the central position of scholarly editions at the crossroads of many research fields.
