Talking 'bout a revolution: Framing e-Research as a computerization movementEric Meyer
The document discusses framing e-Research as a computerization movement based on Kling and Iacono's framework. It analyzes the origins and visions of e-Research, which sought to revolutionize research through grid infrastructure. However, challenges emerged in implementing this vision, as grid technologies were not always usable by domain researchers and did not facilitate the dynamic sharing envisioned. The document examines how the e-Research vision could be recalibrated to provide more open and flexible infrastructure.
The document discusses the need for a new digital research infrastructure called DARIAH to support humanities research in Europe. It proposes that DARIAH would provide access to digitized cultural heritage data and tools to process this information. The infrastructure would link distributed resources across Europe and support innovative, international and interdisciplinary digital humanities research through a decentralized network of national and thematic organizations. Preparation projects are underway to define DARIAH's strategic vision, business model, technical architecture and governance structure.
