Research and communication processes in the arts and humanities are undergoing profound change. On the one hand, the digitalization of the source material promises global availability "from your desk", on the other hand, new approaches and applications are developed in information technology which - under the key word digital humanities (German: eHumanities) - improve the scientific exploration and evaluation of the material available in the humanities. The contributions in this volume discuss approaches, problems and issues in the development of this research environment from a multidisciplinary point of view, and risk a view to future development and research perspectives in the digital humanities.weiterlesen
