Short Description

The LAUDATIO repository is a research data infrastructure for historical textual sources, extended by the TextPloring project. It enables comprehensive access, analysis, and reuse of digital sources in the humanities. Target users are researchers and students in historical linguistics, history, and corpus linguistics. The primary benefit lies in the standardized, interdisciplinary use of historical texts with modern digital tools.

Goals

• Expansion and consolidation of the LAUDATIO repository for use in various humanities disciplines
• Enhancement of the repository with tools for comprehensive indexing and (re-)use of historical text sources
• Demonstration of adapting a discipline-specific repository to the requirements of digital history
• Promotion of interdisciplinary use of historical research data through technological advancement

Work Packages

• WP1: Expansion and consolidation of the LAUDATIO repository for use in other humanities disciplines
• WP2: Enhancement of the LAUDATIO repository tools according to the requirements of digital history
• WP3: Integration and adaptation of the data infrastructure for interdisciplinary research data exploration
• WP4: Project management, coordination, and transfer of results between the participating disciplines (history, corpus linguistics, IT development)

Methods

• Expansion and consolidation of a discipline-specific repository (LAUDATIO repository) for use in other humanities disciplines
• Enhancement of a repository with tools tailored to the specific requirements of other disciplines
• Application using digital history as a case study to demonstrate transferability
• Interdisciplinary collaboration between Computer and Media Service (CMS), history, and corpus linguistics
• Use of research data exploration technologies for historical textual sources
• Integration of e-Research technologies within the framework of DFG funding (LIS program)
• Development and implementation of IT tools for text analysis and data access (e.g., via IT development team at CMS)
• Focused project involvement in the further development of the Laudatio repository with emphasis on user-friendliness and interdisciplinary use

Expected Outcomes

• Expansion and consolidation of the LAUDATIO repository for use in various humanities disciplines
• Adaptation of the subject-specific repository to the specific requirements of other humanities fields
• Demonstration of applicability in the field of digital historical studies
• Creation of a sustainable infrastructure for comprehensive access and (re-)use of historical textual sources
• Promotion of interdisciplinary research through standardized and extensible digital research tools
