Dear Mr McCarty,
just a very brief note, since it is a cheeky self-reference:
TextGrid - www.textgrid.de
... we are the German grid/humanities project and attempt to employ
grid technologies for scholars in the humanities. we are 4 technical
partners and 4 from literature and language.
first step: (a) a virtual archive / trusted repository, and (b) an
extensible tool network for text-based scientific work. based on grid
technology.
I'm sure you know Tobias Blanke at the Arts and Humanities e-Science
Support Centre (AHeSSC, KCL) - he'd be able to give you a host of
exciting references for the UK ...
greetings,
andi

Willard,
I did a presentation on this as "audition" for my current position
teaching in a computer science department. My academic training was
as a musicologist (Medieval Liturgical Drama), but I spent most of my
career as a computer programmer (I had to make a living
somehow!). My presentation, "A Bridge Too Far?: Computing and
Humanities Research" can be found at:
<http://nortonlx.cs.jmu.edu/papers/NortonJMU2001.ppt>http://nortonlx.cs.jmu.edu/papers/NortonJMU2001.ppt
(use 134.126.20.61 if the URL doesn't work - there is a DNS problem on my end).
My own take on this was guided largely by my contact, for the first
time really, with "true" computer scientists, who viewed the world
quite differently than did I. I was really quite struck by the gulfs
in understanding and outlook that I encountered, and this
presentation was my means for trying to come to terms with it.
A couple of later papers that extend some of the ideas expressed here are:
"Modeling the Visitatio Sepulchri: Some Problems of Representation"
<http://nortonlx.cs.jmu.edu/papers/NortonRutgers2002.pdf>http://nortonlx.cs.jmu.edu/papers/NortonRutgers2002.pdf
and
"Representation, Interpretation, and Integration: A Layered
Architecture for the Encoding of Medieval Liturgical Manuscripts"
<http://nortonlx.cs.jmu.edu/papers/NortonKalamazoo2005.pdf>http://nortonlx.cs.jmu.edu/papers/NortonKalamazoo2005.pdf
(paper)
<http://nortonlx.cs.jmu.edu/papers/NortonKalamazoo2005-Slides.pdf>http://nortonlx.cs.jmu.edu/papers/NortonKalamazoo2005-Slides.pdf
(slides)
I hope this helps.
Michael
