“…En primer lugar, ciertos conceptos humanísticos son más complejos de plasmar que en las disciplinas de ciencias. Algunas veces la naturaleza de ciertos conceptos es más vaga y los objetos con los que trabaja el humanista (recursos textuales, visuales, audio) no siempre se prestan a abstracciones geométricas o matemáticas (Presner y Shepard, 2016). Además, los datos en HD tienen una dimensión interpretativa que es inherente a nuestra disciplina y que plantea retos a la hora de la anotación.…”

Este artículo explora el concepto de datos informáticos aplicados a las Humanidades a través de tres perspectivas diferentes: en primer lugar, se analiza el significado del término desde un punto de vista histórico y se sitúa en el contexto de las Humanidades Digitales prestando atención a su acepción más técnica. A continuación, se discute sobre la naturaleza, las tipologías y se abordan algunos debates de los últimos años, como es el de su aparente objetividad. Por último, y en conexión con la producción, gestión y análisis de los datos, se toma en consideración el fenómeno big data y los desafíos de su aplicación en el terreno de las Humanidades. Se pretende, en definitiva, poner de relieve el papel central de los datos en el quehacer humanístico y cómo, para el humanista actual, existen competencias digitales básicas ineludibles.

“…Gibbs (2011), Hall (2012), Liu (2011, 2012), and Presner (2015) find criticism in digital humanities immature. Yet activities such as keyword searching, determining units of analysis, visualization parameters, algorithms, interface designs, and controlled vocabularies carry with them much interpretive freight (Bauer, 2011; Drucker and Nowviskie, 2004; Rider and Röhle, 2012).…”

“…Presner and Shepard (2016) note that mapping in digital humanities includes memory, linguistic, cultural, conceptual, community, and counter mapping. In all likelihood, then, no discipline can avoid addressing spatial issues; spatial history, for example, seems especially promising (Frank, 2015; Guldi, 2011; White, 2010).…”

“…“Ambiguity, uncertainly, nuance, and uniqueness,” Bodenhamer (2010) contends, “does not admit readily to such routinization” (p. 23). In other words, “‘Space’ and ‘time’” are not empty containers …, they are situated constructions and conceptual patterns that call for a multiplicity of approaches” (Presner and Shepard, 2016, p. 201). What is more, GIS projects demand considerable resource investment but a lengthy incubation time (Gregory, 2005).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to dissect key issues and debates in digital humanities, an emerging field of theory and practice. Digital humanities stands greatly to impact the Information and Library Science (ILS) professions (and vice versa) as well as the traditional humanities disciplines. Design/methodology/approach This paper explores the contours of digital humanities as a field, touching upon fundamental issues related to the field’s coalescence and thus to its structure and epistemology. It looks at the ways in which digital humanities brings new approaches and sheds new light on manifold humanities foci. Findings Digital humanities work represents a vital new current of interdisciplinary, collaborative intellectual activity both in- and outside the academy; it merits particular attention from ILS. Research limitations/implications This paper helps potential stakeholders understand the intellectual and practical framework of the digital humanities and “its relationship” to their own intellectual and professional work. Originality/value This paper critically synthesizes previous scholarly work in digital humanities. It has particular value for those in ILS, a community that has proven especially receptive to the field, as well as to scholars working in many humanities disciplines. Digital humanities has already made an important impact on both LIS and the humanities; its impact is sure to grow.

“…While much of the focus has been on datasets, increasingly housed in disciplinary or institutional repositories, less attention has been paid to providing ways for readers to interact with the underlying contextual information relating to the data in an intuitive manner. This has been identified as important, as evidenced by the video approach of SciVee [5] and in the humanities [6]. In this paper, we describe how the Rich Interactive Narrative (RIN) framework [7] (and see http://www.digitalnarratives.net/), designed for the preservation of cultural heritage by the Microsoft Research India team with the University of Washington, can be applied to produce compelling journeys through research papers using a novel combination of video, audio, data, maps and other information sources.…”

It is desirable in many disciplines to include supplementary information to add value to research publications, particularly in digital form. The concept of interactive publications, in which the reader can browse and navigate through in a nonlinear manner, is one such medium that is explored in this paper. We describe the application of the Rich Interactive Narrative framework to provide such a mechanism in the fields of archaeology and chemistry, to supplement academic journal papers. This system provides both passive (pre-recorded) and active (user-led) interaction modes to navigate through data, including experimental datasets, maps, photos, video and threedimensional models, and supports event-based audio and text narration. It includes an extensive authoring tool for deployment to the Web. We conclude by discussing the future possibilities of such a platform for e-science and scholarly communication.
