Was ist Die-Eitsch?Tweets von der Tagung des Einsteinforums #DHB3:

!

„Förtsch (DAI) auf #dhb3 Tagung: wir wissen zwar nicht, was DH ist, aber wir sind alle hier weil es Geld gibt.“

„Renn (MPI Wissensgeschichte) weiß, was DH ist und möchte nicht dazugehören #dhb3 Antwort auf Förtsch“

„Alt (FU): Editionswissenschaft = das Zentrum der DH #dhb3 jetzt wissen wir es“

„Aha: nach Problemen in den Daten suchen. #dhb3 (Förtsch) = retrospektives Forschungsdatenmanagement #fdm #fhp #infobewertung“ #qualität

„Frage nach Ausbildung in DH: warum denkt man bei solchen Kulturtechniken nicht an die 'Unis für angewandte Wissenschaften' (FH) #dhb3“

Melissa Terras, iConference 2014

• „bringing computer science into the study of humanities“ • „understanding best practice of engineering: looking for benchmarks“ • „reading documents: heritage imaging“ • „new analysis techniques“ • „DH = translating between computer scientist and humanists“ • „new teaching and learning opportunities“ • „in the library: a room where they can learn digitizing complex

material“ • „a shared space between departments and the library“ • „public engagement“ • „curatical trust“ • „lots of different people involved, huge mix“ • „try to do something new with computers“

Jerome McGann: !

„…information technology is even now transforming the fundamental character of the library. The Library, the chief focus of our cultural memory as well as our central symbol of that memory’s life and importance.“

Willard McCarty: !

„The field variously known as ‚information studies‘ or ‚library and information science is not far behind, in fact may offer a better home.“ (citing John Unsworth: common ground „in scholarly communication, in knowledge representation, in access to information, in preservation of the cultural record, and in the organization and analysis of information“)

Roberto Busa (1913-2011): !„three different currents (…) I call the first current "documentaristic" or "documentary", in memory of the American Documentation Society, and of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Dokumentation in the 1950s. It includes databanks, the Internet, and the World Wide Web, which today are the infrastructures of telecommunications and are in continuous ferment. The second current I call "editorial." This is represented by CDs and their successors, including the multimedia ones, a new form of reproduction of a book, with audio-visual additions. (…) I call the third current "hermeneutic" or interpretative, that informatics most associated with linguistic analysis.“

Susan Schreibman: !„The TEI's adoption as a model in digital library projects raised some interesting issues about the whole philosophy of the TEI, (…) as flexible as possible. A rather different philosophy prevails in library and information science where standards are defined and then followed closely (…) It was a pity that there was not more input from library and information science at the time that the TEI was being created, (…) The TEI was, however, used as a model by the developers of the Encoded Archival Description (EAD), which has had a very wide impact as a standard for finding aids in archives and special collections.“

Wahn controversies

• Controversy 1: Do the Digital Humanities have an intellectual agenda or do they constitute an infrastructure?

• Controversy 2: Are all approaches towards interdisciplinary research between the Humanities and Computer Science meaningfully represented by the current concept of Digital Humanities?

• Controversy 3: What is the scope of the Digital Humanities? What is the relationship between individual disciplines served by them?

• Controversy 4: What is the appropriate role of markup?

• Controversy 5: Big structures or lightweight webs. What is the most sensible technical template for research infrastructures for the Digital Humanities?

• Controversy 6: “Digital curation” or “digital preservation” is a topic, which has originated within the world of digital libraries; recently it has been drawn closer and closer to the Digital Humanities. What is the balance between conceptual work and technology?

• Controversy 7: “Digital Libraries” have started their life as an answer to opportunities created by a specific stage of technical development. Where are they now, between Computer Science and the Digital Humanities?

Gladney: Bsp. Langzeitarchivierung

• „In fact, digital preservation is the only specific topic I found in recent Digital Humanities Quarterly articles.“

• „Comparison of the definitions of DH and IS suggests that DH is an unneeded invention!“

• „… much of what DHP describes is covered by Information Science faculties.“

• „An aspect mostly missing from LDP literature is a sense of history-in-the-making.“

• „Who might be harmed by considering DH to be a discipline in itself? … the strongest proponents of an independent DH! Many of these might overlook the immense IS literature and its solutions…“

Anne Burdick et al.: !

„The Knowledge for carrying out the implementation of these designs comes from * computer science, * information studies, * graphic and media design, * human-computer-interaction, * and cognitive studies.“ !

„ … can be deeply infused with humanistic values, but only if humanists are involved.“

Win Win Winim Sinne Roberto Busas drei Strömungen profitieren

• die DH im ersten „documentaristic current“ —> höherer Return on Investment; Themen: Wissensrepräsentation, Metadaten, Standards, Retrieval, Prozesse, Modellierung, Policy-Development, Geschäftsmodelle, Nutzung und

• für den zweiten, den „editorial current“, brauchen beide Design Kompetenzen; Themen: Ästhetik, Visualisierung, Interface, Navigation

• die IS im dritten „hermeneutic current“ —> weichere Faktoren der Geisteswissenschaften - Gegengewicht zur Technologie; Themen: inhaltliche Diskurse, Philosophie, Hermeneutik, kritische Position (‚humanistic values‘)
