Gregory Crane - ePhilology, eClassics, and a Cyberinfrastructure for human cultural heritage

Workshop

Tuesday, September 9th

The workshop aims to elicit expert critical opinion on the usage and applicability of e-Science in the arts and humanities. Previous arts and humanities workshops at the AHM's have looked at specific topics, in 2006 at the Arts and Humanities e-Science Scoping Study, in 2007 at the implications of e-Science for textual analysis in academia and industry. This year we would like to summarize all existing activities and prepare an agenda for the future of e-Science and e-Infrastructures in the Arts and Humanities. With the workshop, we would like to promote discussion and to develop ideas that will extend the community employing e-Science methods in the Arts and Humanities. We welcome anybody interested in this agenda, researchers, tools developers, and anybody interested in arts and humanities e-Science.

  • Musicology and methodology in a digital future, Tim Crawford
