Knowledge Management and Digital Humanities

Dear Colleagues,

MDPI Information invites submissions to a Special Issue on “Knowledge Management and Digital Humanities”.

Information is king, and good use of the information gives a huge advantage. In humanities there is plenty of information—some of it digitally available. Nevertheless, we extract only a small portion of the available information. The opportunities and potential advantages of knowledge management can be used to organize the existing information and extract new knowledge. Ethical and legal issues apply in many cases. The Linked Open Data and standards provide the tools to connect information from different providers. Visualization can be used to interpret the information and raise more questions. This Special Issue focuses on new research in knowledge management, with an emphasis on the area of digital humanities. Research results on interoperability, metadata, ontologies, semantic web, etc., are all relevant, including but not limited to the following topics:

• Applications of Knowledge Management
• Cartography and the humanities
• Citation Analysis and Scientometrics
• Collection Development and Discovery
• Cultural Heritage Access and Analysis
• Data and Metadata
• Data for Digital Arts and Humanities
• Data identified and linked in humanities
• Digital Cultural Heritage
• Digital History
• Document (Text) Analysis
• Electronic Publishing
• Emergence of research questions in humanities through digital methods
• Information Interaction
• Information Retrieval and Access
• Knowledge Discovery
• Legal Issues
• Linked Data
• Methodology and modeling in digital humanities
• Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the humanities
• Ontologies
• Open Data and Knowledge
• Practices of sharing data from digital humanities
