1. DM2E + DH: WP3 Goal

DM2E is researching the scholarly practices in the humanities as well building tools that respond to the needs of scholars.

- http://dm2e.eu/digital-humanities/


1. DM2E + DH: WP3 Tasks

Work Package 3

• Demonstrate added value of EDM

• Provide open source annotation tools

• Encourage learning and community uptake

• Identify functional primitives of the Digital Humanities

2. SDM As Research Focus

“A research focus in DM2E is modelling of the scholarly domain, closely related to the user requirements gathering exercises that underpin the development of the DM2E Digital Humanities tools.”

- http://dm2e.eu/digital-humanities/


2. SDM: What is it?

“The SDM is conceived as an explicit but not definite set of the entities and relations of the domain of digital scholarship in the humanities. We believe that modelling is the goal, not the model.”

- Gradmann et al, t.b.p.; cf. Thaller 2013


2. SDM: Why?

● Going beyond infrastructure ● Building bridges between infrastructure and scholarly

practices ● Informing the work on digital tools for humanities

scholars - Addressing gaps in digital workflows - Where new/additional tools would be helpful - Recognising patterns in the behaviour of the

scholars Putting Linked Library Data to Work 18.11.2014

2. SDM: Methodology

• Literature review – Unsworth 2000 – Palmer et al 2009 – Bamboo 2010

• Observing practices of digital scholarship – expert interviews – experiments using the Linked Data environment

• Digital Humanities Advisory Board

2. SDM: Layers of Abstraction

Types of

Areas Primitives Activities Operations abstract concrete


2. SDM: Areas

Areas • Input • Output • Research • Documentation • Social Context


2. SDM: Primitives

Scholarly Primitives (John Unsworth, 2000): I'm using the term "primitives" in a self-consciously analogical way, to refer to some basic functions common to scholarly activity across disciplines, over time, and independent of theoretical orientation. These "self-understood" functions form the basis for higher-level scholarly projects, arguments, statements, interpretations--in terms of our original, mathematical/philosophical analogy,

axioms.


2. SDM: Primitives

Unsworth’s (2000) Primitives • Discovering • Annotating • Comparing • Referring • Sampling • Illustrating • Representing


2. SDM: Primitives

SDM Primitives • Exploration • Interpretative Modelling • Aggregation • Augmentation • Externalisation

2. SDM: Types of Operations


• Activities viewed through the lens of a specific domain or task

• how people perform activities, in what order or combination and how tools and data are used

• patterns in the behaviour of the scholars
