Abstract

We survey the issues involved in knowledge capture and representation for the humanities and outline the design of a modern information system, which will permit humanities researchers to easily publish, share, view and process data. This system takes advantage of recent advances in the capture, representation, indexing and search of text and media data, including representations of three-dimensional images and three-dimensional enhancements of two-dimensional images. We suggest the exploitation of modern networking technologies to make electronic publication accessible to non-technologists. Finally, we discuss the problem of privacy in data mining and outline possible solutions from the recent literature.
