I want to focus on three aspects of the new technology as it pertains

to my field:

• access to intellectual and cultural assets,

including big and deep data;

• collaboration within interoperable

environments; and

• new ways of analyzing that data and publishing the results.

These, I believe, are the aspects of the new technology that will

shape our field in the coming years.

Beyond Borders: The Humanities in the Digital Age

James Cuno, President and CEO, J. Paul Getty Trust October 23, 2014

The three themes

• Data – and data interoperability

• Analytics – scale

• Experimental approach

For each we have

• A Presentation followed by

• A Discussion

Theme 1: Data – as the basis for research

3/26/2018 22

Marieke van Erp, KNAW Humanities Cluster, Digital Humanities Lab, Amsterdam, the Netherlands:

Media as the database: using text, images and tables for quantitative and qualitative analyses

SummaryChallenges and opportunities in digital humanities through a common digital infrastructure.

o Common access to data – digitized and born digitalo The role of controlled data collectiono How to store data - How to stimulate capacity

building – on a national scale

Possible discussion points

Theme 2: Cultural Analytics

3/26/2018 24

Kristoffer L. Nielbo, datakube @ Department of History, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark:

When Humanities Scale: On the Emergence of Analytics in Culture Research

SummaryDigitization has created a data deluge that is transforming knowledge discovery in every domain of human inquiry. A “Culture Analytics” is therefore emerging as domain experts in history, language, and literature are starting to utilize large-scale computing and data-intensive methods. This talk will outline the emerging research field of Culture Analytics with examples from multiple humanities domains.

KeywordsCulture Analytics, Cultural Heritage, Humanities at Scale, Social Sciences and Humanities.

Discussion

3/26/2018 25

o Right issues associated with use of digital legal deposit data

o Infrastructure of open source componentso Common standard for code development

Possible discussion points:o Can experts be shared – what is requiredo Is Humanities ’special’?

Open Discussion

3/26/2018 28

Open discussion: How to collaborate?

o Summer schools o Shared courses and/or course materialo Conferenceo Collaboration on applications to national

funding agencies and foundationso Data management – including technical

solutions (or advice on possibilities)
