Spring Conference "Digital Publishing and the Humanities", 30./31.3.2007

From 30th to 31st March 2007 the Europäische Akademie GmbH organised its spring conference “Digital Publishing and the Humanities” at the SETA Hotel in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler. 

The new options of digital publishing and the open access movement are increasingly influencing the culture of publication in the humanities. This gives new options, as for example the full-text-search in sources or articles or the hyperlinkage of texts and data, or the enhanced potentialities for cooperative work. However, for the same reasons there will be retroactive and side effects that influence the epistemic processes in the humanities: Texts are the main objects of these disciplines, and the spreading of open and online accessible texts, either as facsimile or as hypertext, will alter the scope of perception, the focusses of debate, the conditions of publishing and archiving and the manners of reception. With its spring symposion in 2007 the Europäische Akademie contributes to an active and purposive shaping of these developments with an interdisciplinary discussion among scholars, publishers, librarians as well as representatives and practitioners from scientific institutions and organisations.
