The Kick-off workshop took place from December 5 to 7, 2013 at the Karl Jaspers Centre in Heidelberg.
During the workshop all individual projects were presented, common key terms defined, and publication strategies along with possible cooperations with individuals and institutions were discussed. Moreover, the dates for the next workshops were scheduled: one collaborative workshop with the Digital Humanities department of the Cluster Asia & Europe in a Global Context of Heidelberg University, called Heidelberg Research Architecture or HRA in short. Another workshop will be held in Shanghai at the beginning of December 2014.
This workshop served to introduce the HRA and HERA SINGLE members and for the latter to get familiar with DH tools such as the HRA’s metadata framework Tamboti, a multimedia database which can be used to annotate and cross-reference video, audio, image and text material. It was the start of the collaborative research and development endeavour between HERA SINGLE and the HRA.
