- Abstract:
- This presentation slide deck describes two core concepts that can usefully guide thinking about and work on building digital cultural collections: context and completeness. These concepts emerge from information science research on a wide variety digital collections and aggregations and their use in the humanities. The presentation shows examples of how these concepts become manifest in digital humanities collections and large-scale cultural aggregations, and offers hallmarks for identifying contextual mass in collections.
