“…1 With regards to a scholarly area of digital heritage and its adjacent field of digital humanities, Hicks et al [18] stated that publication habits as well as research habits widely differ between single disciplines in the (digital) humanities. With regards to a scholarly community in digital humanities, Terras [25] examined that especially U.S.-, Canada-, and UK-based researchers contributed to an academic discourse up until 2006. While a community in Terras' analysis exclusively dealt with textual and-few-image sources, digital heritage related aspects such as visualization, geospatial analysis or VR/AR got into the top 50 keyword list in 2017 of Digital Humanities 2017 conference submissions [26].…”

Digital heritage comprises a broad variety of approaches and topics and involves researchers from multiple disciplines. Against this background, this article presents a four-stage investigation on standards, publications, disciplinary cultures, as well as scholars in the field of digital heritage and particularly tangible objects as monuments and sites, carried out in 2016 and 2017. It includes results of (1) the inquiry of nearly 4,000 publications from major conferences, (2) a workshop-based survey involving 44 researchers, (3) 15 qualitative interviews, as well as (4) two online surveys with 1,000 and 700 participants, respectively. As an overall finding, the community is driven by researchers from European countries, especially Italy, with a background in humanities. Cross-national co-authorships are promoted by cultural and spatial closeness and-probably due to funding policy-EU membership. A discourse is primarily driven by technologies, and the most common keywords refer to the technologies used. Most prominent research areas are data acquisition and management, visualization, and analysis. Recent topics are, for instance, unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV)-based 3D surveying technologies, augmented and virtual reality visualization, metadata and paradata standards for documentation, and virtual museums. Since a lack of money is named as the biggest obstacle nowadays, competency and human resources are most frequently named as demand. An epistemic culture in the scholarly field of digital heritage is closer to engineering than to humanities. Moreover, conference series are most relevant for a scientific discourse, and especially EU projects set pace as most important research endeavors.

ABSTRACT:Digital heritage comprises a broad variety of approaches and topics and involves researchers from multiple disciplines. While the use of digital methods in the text-oriented disciplines dealing with cultural heritage is widely discussed and canonized, an up-to-date investigation on cultural heritage as a scholarly field is currently missing. The extended abstract is about a three-stage investigation on standards, publications, disciplinary cultures as well as scholars in the field of digital heritage, carried out in 2016 and 2017. It includes results of a workshop-based survey involving 44 researchers, 15 qualitative interviews as well as an online survey with nearly 1000 participants. As an overall finding, a community is driven by researchers from European countries and especially Italy with a background in humanities, dealing with topics of data acquisition, data management and visualization. Moreover, conference series are most relevant for a scientific discourse, and especially EU projects set pace as most important research endeavours.

“…Generalmente estos centros ocupan una posición en la academia que suele ser transdisciplinar. Aunque en los últimos años se han creado numerosas instituciones al calor de la popularización de las DH, buena parte de los referentes en el campo proceden de la tradición computacional que se remonta años atrás (Terras, 2006).…”

Esteban Romero-Frías es profesor de la Universidad de Granada. Sus trabajos de investigación se han centrado principalmente en la aplicación de técnicas webmétricas al campo de la empresa y la política, así como en el empleo de tecnologías digitales en educación. Trabaja en temas de culturas digitales, digital scholarship y ciencias sociales y humanidades digitales. Coordina GrinUGR, colaboratorio sobre culturas digitales en ciencias sociales y humanidades. ResumenLas humanidades digitales se han organizado institucionalmente en la academia de formas muy diversas (centros, redes, proyectos, etc.), adaptándose según las circunstancias con el fin de ocupar un espacio propio. Se aborda la situación de las humanidades digitales a partir del análisis de sus centros, tal y como aparecen recogidos por la organización CenterNet. Se presenta una descripción global de los mismos a partir de la información de sus webs, del modo en que se definen a sí mismos y de su presencia en medios sociales. Los resultados muestran una gran heterogeneidad en las humanidades digitales, dejando en evidencia cuestiones ampliamente discutidas como los límites del campo, los problemas de inclusión y exclusión o las nuevas formas de colonialismo cultural. Palabras claveHumanidades digitales, Centros de humanidades digitales, Informática humanística, Digital scholarship, e-Investigación, Centros, Humanidades, Ciencias sociales. Title: A view of digital humanities through its study centers AbstractDigital humanities (DH) have adopted various institutional forms in academia (centres, networks, projects, etc.). This study addresses the current state of the discipline through an analysis of DH centres, as reported by CenterNet. We analysed websites, missions, and the social media presence of the centres in order to provide an overall picture. Results show a remarkable heterogeneity in DH organisation. Finally, some of the most debated issues are discussed, such as the borders of the field, inclusion and exclusion issues, or a new cultural colonialism.
