- The first diagram attempts a schematic view of the 'methodological
commons' within which digital humanities sholarship takes place. This
diagram was jointly developed by Willard McCarty and Harold Short,
and a version appears in McCarty's book Humanities Computing, Palgrave
Macmillan, 2005. As the diagram shows, we see this methodological
commons as being very highly collaborative, with the collaborations
extending far beyond the humanities disciplines.
- The second diagram attempts a schematic view of resource-based
digital humanities work. The hope is that it may help in planning
where to position different types and loci of collaboration in an
institution.
The diagrams are posted as a PDF file. Keynote or PowerPoint versions
can be mailed on request. Email address: harold.short@kcl.ac.uk.
