Abstract:
This paper describes the need for new infrastructures for future
eScience scenarios in the humanities. Three projects working on different
aspects of these infrastructures are examined in detail. The first
project is trying to achieve a federation of archives, developing an integration
layer at the level of localization, access to and referring to an
archive’s raw data objects. The other two try to achieve interoperability
at the level of semantic interpretation of linguistic data-types and
tagging systems. The project’s different approaches to this problem
show the trade-of between flexibility and the user’s workload. All
three approaches give an impression about the necessary steps to come
to an eHumanities scenario.
