Das EDV-System FuD ist als integrierte Arbeits-, Publikations- und Informationsplattform für die Geisteswissenschaften konzipiert.
Es unterstützt die Zusammenarbeit in räumlich verteilten Arbeitsgruppen während der verschiedenen Phasen des Forschungsprozesses von der Inventarisierung und Erfassung der Primärdaten über ihre Erschließung und Analyse bis hin zur Ergebnispublikation und Datenarchivierung.
A Report on the Workshop of 22-24 October, 2008 Turf Valley Resort, Ellicott City, Maryland by Dan Cohen, Neil Fraistat, Matthew Kirschenbaum, Tom Scheinfeldt
Bamboo is a multi-institutional, interdisciplinary, and inter-organizational effort that brings together researchers in arts and humanities, computer scientists, information scientists, librarians, and campus information technologists to tackle the question:
How can we advance arts and humanities research through the development of shared technology services?
The NEW MEDIA WORKING GROUP invites graduate students and faculty from multiple departments to collaborate around a shared interest in the social, political, aesthetic, and philosophical implications of digital media.
This year saw some positive developments in open access and scholarly communications, such as the implementation of the NIH mandate, Harvard’s Faculty of Arts & Science’s decision to go open access (followed by Harvard Law), and the launch of the Open Humanities Press. But there were also some worrisome developments (the Conyers Bill’s attempt to rescind the NIH mandate, EndNote’s lawsuit against Zotero) and some confusing ones (the Google Books settlement). In the second part of my summary on the year in digital humanities, I’ll look broadly at the scholarly communication landscape, discussing open access to educational materials, new publication models, the Google Books settlement, and cultural obstacles to digital publication.
