Professionally edited open access online encyclopaedias enable a systemic and reliable orientation within the ever-increasing amount of data and information on the Internet. Providing access to scientifically verified information, they represent an important part of the research and didactic infrastructure. This paper demonstrates the activities of Croatia’s Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography aimed at exploring the new encyclopaedic concept in the digital age. The Institute’s digital transformation is shown, which involves the digitisation and online publishing of archival editions, publishing of the permanently updated online general encyclopaedia, and the transformation of specialised encyclopedias to the encyclopaedic portals. Encyclopaedic portals could represent a new concept of encyclopaedias in the digital realm by serving as platforms for data networking and sharing, a sort of ‘junction points’ that connect diverse digital content on a specific topic. Institute’s publicly available repository of encyclopaedic knowledge enables the linking to the digital data and collections of other research and cultural institutions; therefore the collaborative projects aimed at reinforcing digital research and cultural infrastructure will be described. Thanks to the properties of the digital media and increasing connectivity, a closer collaboration Towards a New Concept of Open Access Online Encyclopaedia : A Case Study from... between professionally edited online encyclopaedias across Europe (and beyond) is enabled. This paper elaborates a range of initiatives seeking to build connections across individual European and North American national encyclopaedias, focusing on the role that Croatian encyclopaedistics plays in this endeavour.

Digitalisering heeft onze samenleving de laatste decennia drastisch veranderd. Er ziin ongekende nieuwe mogelijkheden geschapen voor de wetenschap, de overheid en het culturele leven. Onlangs nog beschreef de Raad voor Cultuur digitalisering als ‘een fundamentele katalysator voor vernieuwing’. Ook onze kenniseconomie is volledig afhankelijk geworden van een zo vrij mogelijk verkeer van digitale gegevens. Grootscheeps gebruik van digitale gegevens kan alleen plaatsvinden als aan heldere randvoorwaarden is voldaan. Door de enorme snelheid van de techniek wordt digitale informatie snel onbruikbaar. Ook ligt manipulatie op de loer en is het voor gebruikers moeilijk te bepalen wat nu ‘echt’ is en wat niet. Behoud van toegankelijkheid en authenticiteit van digitale gegevens krijgen weinig aandacht, omdat ze zich achter de schermen afspelen. Ik noem het wel eens een vorm van ‘corvee’, iets dat onontbeerlijk is, maar waar je geen goede sier kunt maken. Het is daarom zaak om dat corvee zo snel en zo efficiënt mogelijk te organiseren. Dat laatste is precies wat de Nationale Coalitie Digitale Duurzaamheid zich ten doel stelt. Het duurzaam beheer van digitale informatie is een technisch ingewikkeld proces waarvoor veel kennis, expertise en apparatuur nodig is. Lang niet alle instellingen kunnen het zich veroorloven om hiervoor zelf faciliteiten te ontwikkelen. Daarom moet er samengewerkt worden. De NCDD wil als nationale coalitie een gedistribueerd maar samenhangend landelijk netwerk realiseren waarin uiteindelijk voor alle relevante digitale gegevens van de publieke sector een plek zal zijn. Hiervoor moeten niet alleen opslagfaciliteiten beschikbaar zijn, maar vooral ook kennis en menskracht om het beheer goed vorm te kunnen geven. Ook moeten goede afspraken worden gemaakt over de verantwoordelijkheden; wat instellingen zelf moeten doen en welke taken ze in samenwerkingsverbanden vorm kunnen geven. In haar Strategische agenda 2010-2013 geeft de NCDD aan hoe zij dit landelijk dekkend netwerk tot stand wil brengen – met een beperkt aantal organisaties dat als voortrekker optreedt in de eigen sector en dat zeer nauw samenwerkt met alle andere organisaties die de relevante digitale gegevens beheren en ontsluiten. Het plan van de NCDD is een verstandig plan om ervoor te zorgen dat belastinggeld, menskracht en faciliteiten efficiënt gebruikt zullen worden. We zijn ons bewust van de problematiek. Het is nu zaak met zijn allen te werken aan de toekomst van het digitaal geheugen van Nederland.

This edited volume collects together peer-reviewed papers that initially emanated from presentations at Digital Classicist seminars and conference panels.\ud \ud This wide-ranging volume showcases exemplary applications of digital scholarship to the ancient world and critically examines the many challenges and opportunities afforded by such research. The chapters included here demonstrate innovative approaches that drive forward the research interests of both humanists and technologists while showing that rigorous scholarship is as central to digital research as it is to mainstream classical studies.\ud \ud As with the earlier Digital Classicist publications, our aim is not to give a broad overview of the field of digital classics; rather, we present here a snapshot of some of the varied research of our members in order to engage with and contribute to the development of scholarship both in the fields of classical antiquity and Digital Humanities more broadly.

Social sciences and humanities (SSH) research is divided across a wide array of disciplines, sub-disciplines and languages. While this specialization makes it possible to investigate the extensive variety of SSH topics, it also leads to a fragmentation that prevents SSH research from reaching its full potential. The TRIPLE project brings answers to these issues by developing an innovative discovery platform for SSH data, researchers&rsquo (3) its multilingual, multicultural and interdisciplinary vocation. These results have been achieved thanks to different methodologies such as a co-design process, market analysis and benchmarking, monitoring and co-building. These preliminary results highlight the need for respecting diversity of practices and communities through coordination and harmonization. projects and profiles. Having started in October 2019, the project has already three main achievements that are presented in this paper: (1) the definition of main features of the GOTRIPLE platform (2) its interoperability

Wenige Autoren haben die europäische Lyrik so geprägt wie Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374). Das liegt vor allem an dem poetischen Stil von Petrarcas wichtigstem Text in italienischer Sprache, einer Sammlung von Liebesgedichten mit dem Titel Canzoniere, die über Jahrhunderte zu einem bedeutenden poetischen Modell für die europäische Lyrik wurde. Petrarcas Einfluss auf die europäische Literatur wird in der Forschung oft mit dem Ausdruck „Petrarkismus“ bezeichnet, allerdings ist die genaue Definition des Begriffs nach wie vor umstritten. Ein Grund dafür mag sein, dass nur wenige Untersuchungen zum Petrarkismus ein größeres Textkorpus in den Blick nehmen. Die Analyse eines umfassenden Korpus petrarkistischer Dichtung könnte allerdings nicht nur existierende Definitionen auf breiterer Basis erproben, sondern ferner einen quantitativ fundierten Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis des Petrarkismus leisten. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht ausgehend von bestehenden Erklärungsansätzen des Petrarkismus ein Korpus aus 55 italienischen Gedichtsammlungen mittels digitaler stilometrischer, Kookkurrenz- und Netzwerkanalysen.

Given the dynamic rate of change in the OA books business models landscape, the OPERAS Open Access Business Models Special Interest Group launched a survey in 2021 to 1) improve our understanding of the scholarly publishing landscape and of the challenges that publishers face in the context of publishing OA monographs; and 2) to identify main trends (including opportunities and challenges) and the knowledge of collaborative funding and infrastructure models in OA publishing in Social Science and the Humanities. This white paper updates and expands an earlier version published in 2021, which presented the preliminary analysis of the findings. Despite a small sample of presses meaning that no strong trends ought to be discussed, several insights were drawn and should be considered important directions for the future. Key findings in the report have been grouped into three main areas: collaboration, funding, and support. The report found that, although not opposed to the idea, a majority of presses do not engage in collaboration, specifically collaborative models for shared infrastructure, mainly due to the lack of knowledge and information, or perceived lack of need. This indicates that, for OA books, we are still at the early stage of the adoption curve for collaborative shared infrastructure. In terms of funding, most publishers perceive themselves to be somewhat sustainable. For institutional publishers, parent organisations are crucial as providers of financial or non-monetary support of OA. In addition, most publishers stress the need to have more resources and rely on more than one funding source, including grants and subsidies. The report found that awareness-raising and targeted support and training could be used to engage the presses but further incentivisation may be required to encourage publishers to collaborate more widely. We believe that the insights from this white paper may be interesting to a number of projects, such as DIAMAS, OPERAS-PLUS, and Palomera and have presented areas for further research and more specific actionable points for these projects.

The participants in the CARARE project has established a strong community over the three years of working together, building up a close network of pan-European colleagues and friends both socially and professionally. CARARE has brought together a range of cultural heritage organisations whose main interest is archaeology and who have varying roles and experience in digitisation and metadata. This has proved to be invaluable, especially to some of the smaller organisations, who have been able to learn and adopt best practice within their own organisations and to promote these to fellow national institutions in the same field. The CARARE metadata schema is considered to be very good and highly fit for purpose and has been adopted by several of the partners as the in-house de facto standard, facilitating the supply of new content to Europeana as well as encouraging the digitisation of more resources along with the creation of metadata.
