This paper serves a dual purpose. First, it shows how independent open data projects in multiple countries and increasingly sophisticated automated systems have already provided the components, including translation alignment, linguistic analysis using treebanks, open data of names of people, places and groups, textual notes, and links to passages in other primary sources and images, that can be combined into a first approximation for a truly born-digital smart edition of the Library of Apollodorus. Second, it highlights a subset of the larger network of open scholarship that has emerged and that will, hopefully, grow over time. In view of the said purposes, this paper explores the possibility of a born-digital smart edition of Apollodorusʼ Library. First, the requirements are described for such an edition and it is shown how they are motivated. Second, already existing components are discussed and evaluated against the background of the requirements. Third, in a concluding section the results are summarized.
