From perkintj at miamioh.edu Thu Mar 6 14:20:12 2014 From: perkintj at miamioh.edu (Perkins, Jody) Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2014 14:20:12 -0500 Subject: [Sigah-l] TaDiRAH 0.5 Message-ID: Dear colleagues, We are delighted to announce the release of v. 0.5 of the Taxonomy of Digital Research Activities in the Humanities (TaDiRAH), which has greatly benefited from feedback from the digital humanities community over the past several months. TaDiRAH is the product of a year-long project undertaken by DARIAH in partnership with DiRT, with the goal of developing a shared taxonomy of digital humanities goals and methods that could be used to organize and integrate the contents of sites as diverse as the DARIAH Zotero bibliography Doing Digital Humanities, the DiRT tool directory, and the DHCommons project directory. While work remains to be done (particularly in refining the definitions and scope notes), we believe it has reached a state where the best way to improve TaDiRAH will be to put it into practice. Over the next few months, we will implement TaDiRAH categories in the Zotero bibliography, DiRT and DHCommons, and will meet periodically to update TaDiRAH as needed. We encourage other projects that need of a way to categorize their content to consider using TaDiRAH, and we welcome all feedback. TaDiRAH's home is on Github at https://github.com/Tadirah/TaDiRAH, where we'll be using the issue tracker to collect further feedback. Currently we only have a human-readable version available, but we'll be publishing machine-readable versions (linked data and a Drupal taxonomy feature module) soon. TaDiRAH is pronounced "ta-DEE-rah", and is almost an anagram of "DARIAH" and "DiRT". On behalf of all the coordinators, I would like to thank you for your feedback, which has significantly improved the taxonomy since the last version. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments.
