Starting from the advantages of the philosophical opportunity of exploring Wittgenstein’s Nachlass which have been personally experienced thanks to the editing of two discovered letters from Wittgenstein to Sraffa and taking into account the partial results of a project for a Wittgenstein’s dictionary created from the Nachlass, this contribution intends to highlight some philological questions that the edition of Wittgenstein’s works and Wittgenstein’s scholars need to consider.

I will present a work in progress website that aims to create a digital tool to visualize the links between philosophical texts, in particular, the explicit and implicit references that a philosophical work makes to previous works. The project involves a team of engineers on the one hand, and on the other hand teachers and researchers in philosophy, specializing in an author or a work, who identify, in each text, the implicit and explicit references to other works, and justify their choice. It is a collaborative project: for each reference identified by a contributor, it will be possible for other specialists to open a discussion to comment on the reference, add new elements to confirm the connection, or debate around the identified reference in case of disagreement on the link. The discussion aims at generating community criteria for establishing different degrees of connectedness between texts. The final product will offer students and researchers a unique visualization of the history of philosophy in the form of a “Great Conversation”, an aid to the study of the most difficult texts, and will allow for the valorization of the work of historians of philosophy. The proof of concept is on the ''Philosophical Investigations'' by Ludwig Wittgenstein.

=== NLP exploration of the ''Tractatus'' ===
'''Sacha Raoult'''
I will present a work in progress natural language processing tool built for the ''Tractatus''. The dynamic thesaurus is the main effort of the project and its main innovation. This method allows to replace any expression in the text by one of its definitions, and then to correct grammatically the concerned paragraph in order to make the reading perfectly fluid. The result is an interface to explore semantically equivalent proposition in te book. This method allows the reader not to have to remember all the definitions that the author has given as he reads, and thus to considerably lighten the cognitive load that can make certain fundamental texts inaccessible. I will show its early results and perspectives for the future.
