Collaborative Research in the Digital Humanities

摘要

This volume is a Festschrift for Harold Short who established and led the noted Digital Humanities program at King's College London. Under Harold, the program evolved from a computing service group into an academic department that offered the world's first Master's degree in Digital Humanities. Short's essential contribution was in nurturing others in their work; thus, these essays presented in recognition of his career address a particularly broad range of issues. As McCarty notes in his opening chapter "Collaborative research in the digital humanities", the phrase "collaborative research" is a catch all. Chapters 3 and 6 provide examples of research collaborations. Chapters 9, 11 and 12 discuss tools and techniques for supporting collaborative research. Chapters 4, 7 and 10 consider aspects of markup and annotation, including standards and crowd-sourcing. Chapters 2, 5, 8, 13 and 14 discuss academic communities and academic politics, topics which are particularly salient for a volume honoring Harold Short.
