枯木逢春犹再发: 基于互联网档案循证的数字人文数据可持续访问和重用探索

Exploration of Sustainable Access and Reuse of Digital Humanities Data Based on Internet Archive Evidence

[目的/意义]随着数字人文项目和成果不断涌现,许多数字人文项目在数据的长期归档、可持续访问与重用方面面临巨大挑战。探索帮助恢复或维持数字人文数据可持续访问和重用的方案并总结其经验对于数字人文领域公共数据基础设施建设具有重要意义。[方法/过程]运用基于互联网档案的循证方法对RESTORE、Sustainable Digital Scholarship、King’s Digital Lab和Cambridge Digital Humanities Lab 4个项目开展探索分析。研究借助互联网档案馆及其提供的网络信息溯源工具“网络时光机”收集数据,并运用内容分析法从技术、人力和财务三个视角进一步开展数据分析。[结果/结论]研究总结了实现数字人文数据可持续访问和重用所需的基础设施支持,提出6条研究启示,为我国数字人文领域公共数据基础设施建设提供参考。

[Purpose/significance]As digital humanities projects and outcomes continue to emerge,many digital humanities projects face significant challenges in terms of long-term archiving,sustainable access,and data reuse.Exploring solutions and experiences to help restore or maintain sustainable access and reuse of digital humanities data is of great significance for the construction of public data infrastructure in digital humanities.[Method/process]This paper adopts an evidence-based approach based on the Internet Archive to conduct an exploratory analysis of four programs:RESTORE,Sustainable Digital Scholarship,King’s Digital Lab,and Cambridge Digital Humanities Lab.We collect data using the Internet Archive and its web information tracing tool,the“Wayback Machine”,and then use content analysis to conduct data analysis from three perspectives of technology,manpower and finance.[Result/conclusion]This study summarizes the infrastructure support required to achieve sustainable access and reuse of digital humanities data.It also distills six research insights to inform the construction of a public data infrastructure for digital humanities in China.
