ABSTRACT

In recent years, interest in digital humanities has grown steadily in Korea, but understanding of the context of constructing･using humanities data that is universally dealt with in the digital humanities field, as well as its academic significance, remains limited. The reasons for this are that it is difficult to organize at a glance the field collectively referred to as ‘digital humanities’ due to the variety of research formats in exist within. In addition, there are not many cases of digital humanities research in Korea and there are very few professional researchers in the field, as a result of which the channels that can convey the reality of digital humanities research are limited. Considering these points, this article attempts to organize the data processing process and result format of digital humanities projects by reviewing 24 representative cases focusing on sharing and representation of knowledge among overseas digital humanities research examples, as well as to clarify the academic significance contained therein. It is a common feature to create and open various data formats used in web environments, such as CSV and JSON, as well as machine-readable data represented by XML and RDF, while utilizing various formats of JavaScript libraries and Web Framework such as D3.js, Leaflet.js, JQuery and Angular.js. If each digital humanities research case discussed in this article is reviewed individually later, it can be used as a useful clue not only to examine the reality of digital humanities research, but also to specifically plan and carry out digital humanities research projects. At a time when we need to think seriously about where humanities research combined with the digital environment should go in detail, as well as how to accommodate the humanistic awareness and the understanding of digital technology that arises in the process, I hope this article will contribute in some small way.
