Anforderungen ermitteln, Lösungen evaluieren und Erfolge messen: Begleitforschung in DARIAH-DE
Full text linkDARIAH-DE unterstützt Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaftler mit Digital-Humanities-Tools und fachwissenschaftlichen Diensten in den Bereichen Forschung und Lehre. Der nachfolgende Artikel beschreibt die Arbeit und die Ergebnisse der wissenschaftlichen Begleitforschung innerhalb DARIAH-DE. Die Wissenschaftliche Begleitforschung hat die Aufgabe, Kriterien zu entwickeln, mit denen eine Bewertung der im Projekt entwickelten Komponenten vorgenommen werden kann. Dies geschieht in der Aufbauphase des Projektes, um erfolgreiche Impulse für eine vielversprechende Projektentwicklung geben zu können. Die Wissenschaftliche Begleitforschung gibt auch Anstöße für die erfolgreiche Überführung in den Produktivbetrieb. Grundlegend für die Arbeit ist dabei die Auseinandersetzung mit dem geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschungsablauf und den Bedürfnissen der Fachwissenschaftler. Dazu zählt auch die Entwicklung bedienbarer und nutzerfreundlicher Werkzeuge und Infrastrukturkomponenten.DARIAH-DE supports humanities and cultural scholars with Digital Humanities tools and professional services in the fields of scientific research and teaching. The following article deals with the work and the results of accompanying scientific research in DARIAH-DE. The purpose of this work is to develop appropriate criteria to evaluate and assess the development of digital tools and services. This happens in the construction phase of the project in order to generate successful incentives for a promising project development. The accompanying scientific research formulates recommendations for the successful transfer of DARIAH-DE in the operational phase. The basis for this is the analysis of the scholarly research cycle and the needs of the scholars. This includes the development of user-friendly tools and their interfaces
Interdisciplinary Interoperability
No full textThe exchange and reusability of data used for research in the humanities is one of the goals of DARIAH. To increase the interoperability of data sets between disciplines we present an overview and recommendations of measures to achieve this. We account for the finding and fetching of data with legal aspects in mind. This is achieved through standardized methods of discovery and transfer via interfaces on the web. Furthermore, we consider syntactic and semantic interoperability of data for use in different fields of study. Standardized metadata sets are one way to achieve this and we present some of them in this paper. The importance for scholars to find and be able to process data that is be relevant to their work is the main motivation of this document and for the aspects of the digital humanities covered within. We present options for each of the four aspects that we identified (APIs and Protocols, Standards, Identifiers and Licensing)

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
