Bibliothèques numériques et humanités digitales : La continuité d’une problématique sur l’organisation des connaissances en lettres et sciences humaines

Résumé 0

The common core activity for digital humanities and memory institutions such as libraries, archives, and museums is digitizing the representations of cultural and historical documents, images, and artifacts. Most of these resources are delivered online to users. The emergence of Digital Libraries in the early 1990s was a turning point and a critical component of the world-wide shift to networked information. This article focuses on the fundamental role of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) for the Humanities with a special attention to libraries as one of the actors of Digital Humanities. The interplay between Digital Libraries and Digital Humanities is highlighted. Not only will they provide access to a host of source materials that humanists need in order to do their work, but Digital Libraries will also enable new forms of research that were difficult or impossible to undertake before.
