Digital Publishing and the Humanities
2007 Spring Conference:
30.–31.3.2007, SETA-Hotel, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler
From 30th to 31st March 2007 the Europäische Akademie GmbH organised its spring conference, “Digital Publishing and the Humanities”, at the SETA Hotel in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler.
The new options for digital publishing and the open access movement are increasingly influencing the culture of publication in the humanities. This presents new options such as the full-text-search in sources or articles or the hyperlinkage of texts and data, or the enhanced potentialities for co-operative work. However, for the same reasons, there will be retroactive effects and side effects that will influence the epistemic processes in the humanities: Texts are the main objects of these disciplines, and the spreading of open and on-line accessible texts, either as facsimile or as hypertext, will alter the scope of perception, the focuses of debate, the conditions of publishing and archiving and the manners of reception. With its Spring symposion in 2007, the Europäische Akademie contributes to an active and purposeful shaping of these developments with an interdisciplinary discussion among scholars, publishers, and librarians, as well as representatives and practitioners from scientific institutions and organisations.
A publication on the conference is available in English: P&P Volume 5, No 2
