Website of the Project: Hartmann von Aue Portal
The aim of the Hartmann-von-Aue portal was to build a platform that can serve as a starting point and basis for any philological study of Hartmann's works. The focus of the concept was therefore the text and its transmission, as well as the basic tools for their digital processing. The data was processed using modern database technologies based on XML.
The resources made available on the Internet for each individual work by Hartmann should initially consist of high-resolution color facsimiles of the manuscripts and fragments as well as their diplomatic transcriptions, i.e. the basis for the creation of a critical text.
Further information on the “Hartmann von Aue Portal” can be found in an article by Roy A. Boggs and Kurt Gärtner under the title „Das Hartmann von Aue-Portal. Eine Internet-Plattform als Forschungsinstrument“, in: ZfdA 134 (2005), pp. 134–137.
Topics
Developing Software Systems
The software systems we develop together with humanities and cultural scholars are ergonomic and goal-oriented solutions to support individual and dynamic research projects effectively.
Digital Editions
Digital editions offer a wide range of options for processing sources scientifically and making them accessible in open access.
Historical Manuscript and Book Studies
Virtual reconstructions and research of medieval and modern manuscripts and historical library holdings.
Implementing Research Projects Digitally
We model text data and multimedia objects, apply our tools and establish procedures, design websites and ensure sustainable research data management.
Open Science
Open Access, Open Source, Open Data as well as other terms represent a research sector with transparent approaches and freely available results.
Project Management
We consider our work processes to be an interface between technical expertise, knowledge-based services and humanities research in the range of Digital Humanities.
Usability Engineering and UX
Users are people. We would like to support people and enable them to work with digital products in the best possible way.
XML / Web-Technologies
We consistently use generally accepted methods for the modeling, development and transformation of information.
