Layers of DH projects 1 •Sources/ Data •You need digital data to do DH •Do you have access to a digital corpus, or do you need to digitize your items? 2 •Processing or Manipulation •What is done to the data •This is done using some type of software or tool. 3 •Presentation •DH projects live in the digital realm. •How is your project presented online?

How did they make that DH project? • How did they make that? • “Many students tell me that in order to get started with digital humanities, they’d like to have some idea of what they might do and what technical skills they might need in order to do it. Here’s a set of digital humanities projects that might help you to get a handle on the kinds of tools and technologies available for you to use.” • How Did They Make That? The Video!

- Humanities Computing as Digital Humanities http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/3/3/000065/000065.html The terminological change from "humanities computing" to "digital humanities" has been attributed to John Unsworth and Ray Siemens who, as editors of the monograph A Companion to Digital Humanities (2004), tried to prevent the field from being viewed as "mere digitization."[22]Consequently, the hybrid term has created an overlap between fields like rhetoric and composition, which use "the methods of contemporary humanities in studying digital objects,"[22] and digital humanities, which uses "digital technology in studying traditional humanities objects".[22] The use of computational systems and the study of computational media within the arts and humanities more generally has been termed the 'computational turn'.[23] In 2006 the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the federal granting agency for scholarships in the humanities, launched the Digital Humanities Initiative (renamed Office of Digital Humanities in 2008), which made widespread adoption of the term "digital humanities" all but irreversible in the United States.[24] http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijshc “'Social and humanistic computing' stands for holistic approaches to human/social-centric design of pervasive, ubiquitous systems, providing/supporting a new era of human/social experience going beyond traditional perceptions of the interaction of humans with IT/IS, exploiting social/humanistic research for the provision of high-tech services and human-centric systems promoting social sustainability development.” “Praxis is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, embodied, or realised. "Praxis" may also refer to the act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practicing ideas.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxis_(process) “his new 'computational turn' takes the methods and techniques from computer science to create new ways of distant and close readings of texts (e.g. Moretti).” https://sites.google.com/site/dmberry/ Spatial Turn http://spatial.scholarslab.org/spatial-turn/what-is-the-spatial-turn/
