The document discusses the importance of human involvement in digital humanities (DH) and the need for infrastructure that can scale to meet demands. It highlights the establishment of the DARIAH-ERIC governance structure, financial model, and collaboration among various projects in Europe. Additionally, it announces an upcoming international event on digital heritage scheduled for fall 2013, which aims to unite researchers and professionals to explore advanced digital technologies for cultural preservation.

1. #chcta-what I learnt over 26-27 June

2. archives require a human touch

3. networks are people-friendly

4. one size does not fit all

5. so prepare for funding cuts..scale!

6. infrastructure must meet demands

7. and it must scale up and down

8. digital humanities can be a solution
looking for a problem

9. for “scholarly” is still hard to define

10. role-playing gets attention, judgement needed

11. 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

12. 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

13. DARIAH.eu

• Formal letter of commitment to become Founding Member of DARIAH-ERIC

14. DH infrastructure
• roads are not infrastructure
• roading is infrastructure
• roads used by people and modified for people
• so infrastructure is the ecosystem of resources
+ people + feedback system

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.
Change the academic ecosystem

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.
