Reflections on cultural heritage and digital humanities

Abstract

Computer based modelling in cultural heritage has focused on database development, generalised as data standards and, since the 1990s, also formal ontologies. Modelling in digital humanities has had its core in textual scholarship, including close reading and text encoding of literary and historical sources as well as models of text corpora, usually relying on statistical methods. Integration between the two modelling paradigms has been undertaken at the practical level. This paper goes beyond pragmatic concerns by focusing on comparing the two modelling traditions at a more abstract level.
