creating digital humanities projects based on the Guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) there are some good practices that can help ensure success. Dr James Cummings (Newcastle University) will look at some of these practices, especially where they relate to their use of the TEI, to encourage those building digital humanities projects to work in an open and sustainable manner. However, instead of just trumpeting the success of well-known projects Cummings will look at some projects which have had problems or had to cope with unexpected events. In doing so he will suggest how using appropriate tools for particular problems and working openly as part of a community helped save these projects from total disaster. He will suggest the key to success is planning for the worst-case scenarios, long-term preservation, and sustainability of resources.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Google Translate has the title of the symposium literally as &#8220;Towards the Construction of Humanities in the Age of Digital Archiving &#8211; Construction of the Next Generation Knowledge Base for Buddhist Studies&#8221;. \u00a0While I am certainly not, nor ever will be, an expert in Buddhist Studies, I have been involved in lots of TEI Digital Humanities projects. Instead of reporting on the successes of these projects, I chose a handful where there had been some problem &#8212; almost never to do with the adoption of TEI, but more usually on the resourcing or management of it. I reported on the problems of these projects to hope that the DH projects in Japan might circumvent similar ones as they increase their digital humanities projects.<\/p>\n<p>The abstract of the talk is above as part of the page, but an outline of the talk (for a 90 minute slot) was as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Short refresher on the TEI<\/li>\n<li>Case studies of projects with some degree of problem:\n<ul>\n<li>CatCor: Correspondence of Catherine the Great<\/li>\n<li>William Godwin\u2019s Diary<\/li>\n<li>CURSUS: An Online Resource of Medieval Liturgical Texts<\/li>\n<li>Poetic Forms Online: Renaissance to Modern<\/li>\n<li>LEAP: Livingstone Online Enhancement and Access Project<\/li>\n<li>SRO: Stationers Register Online<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>ATNU: Animating Text Newcastle University (a new project<br \/>\nhoping to learn from these problems)<\/li>\n<li>Possibilities: some thoughts on potential solutions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The visit was brief (3 nights) but rewarding in the conversations I had with many Japanese DH researchers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u00a0recently gave a keynote lecture at the University of Tokyo entitled &#8220;Problems and Possibilities: Working for Success in TEI Digital Humanities Projects&#8221;. \u00a0This was as part of a larger symposium the events page of which at the time read: &nbsp; &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/jamescummings\/2018\/01\/11\/problems-and-possibilities\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2022,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,4],"tags":[6],"class_list":["post-32","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dh","category-tei","tag-dh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/jamescummings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/jamescummings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/jamescummings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/jamescummings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2022"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/jamescummings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/jamescummings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34,"href":"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/jamescummings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32\/revisions\/34"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/jamescummings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/jamescummings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/jamescummings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
