German History in Documents and Images/Deutsche Geschichte in Dokumenten und Bildern: Creating a New Form of Scholarly Publishing by Transforming a Legacy Site

德国历史研究所（GHI），华盛顿，寻求支持的工作计划，重新概念化，扩大和现代化的旗舰数字项目，德国历史的文件和图像/德国历史在Dokumenten und Bildern。GHDI是一个双语来源集合，涵盖了从1500年到2009年的德国历史。工作计划的核心是开发和实现一个基于eXist数据库和Scalar 2.0表示层的新开源平台。新平台将适应材料类型（例如，（c）支持当前历史学术所要求的一系列新的历史叙述方法，并允许根据最佳做法丰富新的和现有的GHDI资料来源。结合重新设计的界面，一致的TEI标记和元数据模式，以及Scalar的数据定制，这个新的基础设施将促进历史来源的学术出版的创新，史学响应形式。这种新的出版形式将利用数字媒体的独特功能，同时肯定以书籍为基础的学术的最佳价值。 eXist/Scalar 2.0平台将被设计为一个可扩展的模板，适用于其他数字项目，特别是德国学术界。Scalar专门为数字人文项目开发，是一个强大的开源创作，编辑和发布平台，除其他优点外，还为动态和媒体丰富的内容提供了最佳支持。虽然Scalar在北美学术界越来越受欢迎，但德语使用者仍然相对有限，尤其是因为当前应用程序框架中的大多数消息都是用英语硬连接的。因此，研究所将开展Scalar接口的国际化工作，以消除迄今为止阻碍德国采用这一有前途的平台的限制。确定德国的平台重用案例是工作计划的一个关键组成部分，与DARIAH-DE合作保存原始GHDI网站也是如此。在这里，GHDI将成为对保护遗产网站感兴趣的学者的典范。GHI是国际公认的高级研究中心。它成立于1987年，是一个独立的非营利基金会。自2002年以来，它一直是马克斯·韦伯基金会的一部分。GHDI是一个著名的遗产网站，德国人和北美人在几乎同等程度上使用它，它的重新启动将加强GHI作为大西洋两岸数字历史学家的中心以及研究数字历史的机会和局限性的地方的作用。

The German Historical Institute (GHI), Washington DC, seeks support for a work program to reconceptualize, expand, and modernize its flagship digital project, German History in Documents and Images/Deutsche Geschichte in Dokumenten und Bildern. GHDI is a bilingual source collection covering German history from 1500 to 2009. At the core of the work program is the development and implementation of a new open-source platform based on an eXist database and a Scalar 2.0 presentation layer. The new platform will accommodate the types of materials (e.g., multimedia sources) called for in current historical scholarship, support a range of new narrative approaches to history, and allow for the enrichment of new and existing GHDI sources in accordance with best practices. In combination with a redesigned interface, a consistent TEI markup and metadata schema, and data customization with Scalar, this new infrastructure will facilitate an innovative, historiographically responsive form of scholarly publishing for historical sources. This new form of publishing will draw on the unique affordances of digital media, while affirming the best values of book-based scholarship. The eXist/Scalar 2.0 platform will be designed as an extensible template suitable for other digital projects, especially within the German academic community. Specifically developed for use in digital humanities projects, Scalar is a robust, open-source authoring, editing, and publishing platform that, among other advantages, offers optimal support for dynamic and media-rich content. While Scalar is becoming increasingly popular among North American academics, its use by German speakers is still relatively limited, not least because most messages within the current application framework are hardwired in English. Therefore, the Institute will undertake internationalization work on the Scalar interface to remove those limitations that have hindered the adoption of this promising platform in Germany to date. The identification of German-based platform reuse cases is a key component of the work program, as is the preservation of the original GHDI website in cooperation with DARIAH-DE. Here, GHDI will serve as a model for scholars interested in preserving legacy websites.The GHI is an internationally recognized center for advanced study. It was established in 1987 as an independent non-profit foundation. Since 2002, it has been part of the Max Weber Foundation. The relaunch of GHDI, a well-known legacy site used by Germans and North Americans in approximately equal measure, will bolster the GHI in its role as a hub for digital historians on both sides of the Atlantic and as a place for examining the opportunities and limits of digital history.
