I think you've hit on one of the main points of the API Workshop: the value of sharing data and tools for knowledge production (in this case, historical research). Not only does the creation of an API for historical data open possibilities for greater use of that data, it redistributes control and takes advantage of the great potential innovation of a wider audience of end users.<br /><br />I really should get started on writing up my reflections for the KnowMob page and finish editing the audio from the workshop. Look for it in the next week or so.Sean Kherajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14310390665672886365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029501467787683847.post-62892021983105104932009-10-26T13:14:24.003-04:002009-10-26T13:14:24.003-04:00Excellent post.

APIs and Linked Data are important technical requirements for sharing data, but the harder challenges may be convincing humanities scholars to *actually* share using these technical means (or some others not yet invented). <br /><br />It seems to me that, in the humanities, we might have an underdeveloped conception of sharing---what do we share and when do we share it? We work with various kinds of data at various levels of "processed-ness" during a project---these might be shared in different ways.<br /><br />The idea that humanities scholarship happens only "inside the mind of the scholar" is something that Digital Humanities has helped debunk. Building on these insights might help humanists see the value of more data sharing.Trevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150653896460661628noreply@blogger.com
