We’re pleased to announce that Alois Pichler of the University of Bergen and who has been working to integrate the [Pundit annotation tool](http://thepund.it) with the Wittgenstein Archive held in Bergen has co-authored a paper in the journal *Literary and Linguistic Computing*. The article entitled “Sharing and debating Wittgenstein by using an ontology” discusses some of the challenges involved in building an ontology for research about the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein which has a special focus on Wittgenstein’s *Nachlass*.

It also looks at how ontologies can enable the tools being developed as part of DM2E, such as [Pundit](http://thepund.it), to help teachers and researchers work with the arguments found within Wittgenstein’s works. At present an international group of scholars is using Pundit to annotate Wittgenstein’s work as part of a DM2E research experiment called the Wittgenstein Incubator.
