Programme Session 4 (26-05-2021)

“Introduction by Kaspar Gubler

Welcome to the fourth and final session of the SPARK Nodegoat Workshop. We are very happy about the participation and the numerous feedbacks on the workshop. I can only recommend that you organise such a workshop yourself. With a video conference this is no longer a problem. For example, several projects could get together and organise a workshop, perhaps on a specific topic related to Nodegoat.  A comment on Nodegoat as a research infrastructure in the humanities: Nodegoat is jointly funded by various projects and universities, a model that I believe is the solution for the long-term development of a digital infrastructure for the humanities. It is crucial that such an infrastructure can be used by different disciplines and not just by a single, specific project. If only one project can use software, it is not a true infrastructure. In contrast, as we have seen, Nodegoat can be used by different humanities disciplines. Another advantage of Nodegoat as a research infrastructure is that it does not require difficult software installations or programming skills. Thus, an infrastructure like Nodegoat allows users to focus on research. They don’t have to deal with technical things first. I think this is a big problem in the digital humanities: there is too much focus on the technical stuff and not enough on our core competence, which is to answer research questions with digital methods. In my opinion, too often we only talk about the possibilities of digital methods instead of delivering research results. It’s like constantly cleaning your glasses instead of just putting them on.”
