Between Rhetoric an Reality: instrumental practices at the Astronomical and Meteorological Observatory of the Amsterdam Society ‘Felix Meritis’, 1789-1889
Redefining Responsibility
The essay reconsiders the definition of the word 'responsibility' in the phrase 'responsibilty in ICT research' by taking a closer look at a specific branch in the humanities: textual scholarship. This branch can profit extremely well from the collaboration between humanities research and ICT development. The diversity of knowledge present in the ICT-sector is indispensable for the creation of digital editions that are both scholarly responsible as well as interesting for a large public. However, this requires a more responsible and active role from ICT technologists, that until now has not been fully taken on.
