Drupal, TEI and XML: How to prototype a digital humanities tool
- First page: 9
  Abstract: Library Hi Tech News, Volume 34, Issue 4, June 2017.
  Purpose This paper takes seriously the import accorded to the interface within the digital humanities. It will probe some of the possibilities and limits of the computer interface as a reading and research tool by unpacking theoretical and practical aspects of interface design. Design/methodology/approach We wanted to see if we could design a tool that would meet three interrelated goals: the first, was to develop a digital tool that would enable scholarship rather than mere publishing. Next, we wanted to build an interface that would acknowledge the situatedness of reading and meaning-making practices. Findings Our Research Oriented Design approach to interface design has shown us how valuable it is to combine research and practice when thinking through issues in the digital humanities. Engaging in such a design project provides the unique opportunity to bring together theoretical concepts relating interface design with robust tools like XML mark-up and Drupal modules. Originality/value There is literature on the subject of transformation of print documents to electronic text (Hayles, 2003) and the representation of text within a computer (Sperberg-McQueen, 1991), this projects attempts to build a prototype of what these theories might look like.

  Abstract: Library Hi Tech News, Volume 34, Issue 4, June 2017.
  Purpose Purpose: This paper reports on the survey results relating to the current experience of cataloging and metadata professionals with emerging information standards and technologies, as well as the state of professional training and existing barriers to continuing education in these emerging areas Design/methodology/approach Design/methodology/approach: The paper presents a quantitative analysis of the data collected in the online survey, supplemented with a qualitative analysis of some open-ended responses. Findings Findings: There was a wide interest in leveraging emerging Semantic Web and Linked Data approaches. Training activities on newer information standards and technologies were reported by more than half of the respondents. The survey data suggested the importance of increasing field-wide collaborations and institution- or organization-level support for professional development. Improving the discoverability of relevant continuing education resources and programs was also considered to be the key, as were affordability and the ability to incorporate ongoing learning into everyday practice. Originality/value Originality/value: There are currently no comprehensive studies or benchmarked data on how the existing continuing education system meets the needs of cataloging and metadata professionals. This study establishes a baseline for an understanding of their ongoing professional development preferences and requirements relating to new information standards and technologies.
