#chcta-what I learnt over 26-27 June

archives require a human touch

networks are people-friendly

one size does not fit all

so prepare for funding cuts..scale!

infrastructure must meet demands

and it must scale up and down

digital humanities can be a solution looking for a

problem

for “scholarly” is still hard to define

role-playing gets attention, judgement needed

DH must

• Explain its values and usefulness• Include as many as possible• Bridge divide between process and product• Transform IT programmers into humanists• Improve collaboration tools• Link all parts of the DH scholarly ecosystem

example: DIGHUMLAB must

• develop tools and corpora (CLARIN.dk)

• integrate research and repositories (Netlab.dk)

• develop new ways of integrating media and teaching (Interaction Design)

• integrate the community needs with public and scholarly resources

• to complete and continue the infrastructure cycle..to support and advance humanities scholars’ manifestos not our own

DH infrastructure

• roads are not infrastructure• roading is infrastructure• roads used by people and modified for people• so infrastructure is the ecosystem of resources

Marseille Museum of Culture

Fall 2013 will witness the largest international scientific event on digital heritage in history, bringing together hundreds of researchers, educators, scientists, industry professionals and policy makers to debate, discuss and present digital technology applied to the protection, documentation, and understanding of humanity’s shared heritage. For the first time ever, under the patronage of UNESCO, the leading scientific and industry events from across the digital and heritage spheres will join together under one roof to explore the state-of-the-art and address future emerging research scenarios.

virtual heritage

• …the use of computer-based interactive technologies to record, preserve, or recreate artefacts, sites and actors of historic, artistic, religious, of cultural significance and to deliver the results openly to a global audience in such a way as to provide formative educational experiences through electronic manipulations of time and space.

• Stone, Robert, and Takeo Ojika. 2000. Virtual heritage: what next? Multimedia, IEEE no. 7 (2):73-74.
