Scholarship in the Humanities -- Open Technologies (SHOT)

Jan. 2, 2008: system upgrade: some sections of the site will be sporadically off line as new server software is installed this week.

What's new:

Material for the study of the Lycian language (Aug. 2007)
Chronological and calendrical material: Venerable Bede, de temporibus (Jan. 2006)
Liberating classical texts (Apr. 2, 2005)
New additions to projects section: resources for the study of ancient science (Dec. 2004)

Fundamental principles of open computing. Why work using information technology in the humanities must:
- provide open data and open source to enable true, full review
- be openly accessible on the internet to meet our obligations to many audiences
- be based on open standards to ensure longevity
Fundamental technologies: starting points for key technologies addressing the issues students and scholars in the humanities face.
