With digitization, global research on the School of Salamanca and its history of impact will for the first time have access to a shared digital text corpus and thus have an intellectual frame of reference for its historical investigation and interdisciplinary discussion. The project is not just about building a high-quality, digitized, extensive corpus of sources, but also about bringing together international and interdisciplinary perspectives in a historical dictionary to be developed from these sources.
As a basis, over 120 selected texts are digitally indexed, enriched and linked to the electronic version of the dictionary in the form of their first publication. In this way, an electronic working instrument that is new in its functionality in this area is created. Both dictionary and source corpus are gradually being made freely available to the scientific community via a website. At the end of the last work phase, the dictionary will also be published in book form.
The task of the TCDH was the retro-digitization and correction of the metadata labeling of volumes 3 - 6.
Topics
Digital Editions
Digital editions offer a wide range of options for processing sources scientifically and making them accessible in open access.
Full Text Digitization
High-quality full-text digitization in form of a diplomatic copy is a decisive requirement in order to store basic works in databases and, thus, to make them searchable and connectable.
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.
Managing Research Data
You can achieve your research goals with professional 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.
XML / Web-Technologies
We consistently use generally accepted methods for the modeling, development and transformation of information.
