Data and Metadata in the Humanities: Structures, Schemas, and Standards

Digitalization profoundly impacts the humanities by transforming how knowledge is produced, accessed, and interpreted. Almost everything today is reduced to data, interconnected through processes of digitization, visualization, and publication. Culture and history are increasingly manifested in networked forms, a development greatly enhanced by digital technologies. In this context, data and metadata play essential roles. This lesson is developed as an introduction to the meaning of data and metadata in the Humanities. Learners will get familiar with concepts of data and metadata as well as formats such as XML and JSON and metadata standards.

This lesson is being developed specifically for researchers in the humanities and cultural studies, with the goal of becoming part of a future humanities curriculum within the Data Carpentry lesson program. It is designed for learners with no prior experience. It is visible at https://github.com/HERMES-DKZ/OpenRefine-humanities.

Contributing

At this very early stage of lesson development, external contributions are not yet being processed. However, errors can be reported via issues. Once the first release is published, contributions will be warmly welcomed, and the contributing workflow will be shared here.
