Contributions try to give an answers to the following questions (quoted from the introduction and agenda setting of M. Thaller):
1.. Do the Digital Humanities have an intellectual agenda or do they constitute an infrastructure?
2. Are all approaches towards interdisciplinary research between the Humanities and Computer Science meaningfully represented by the current concept of Digital Humanities?
3. What is the scope of the Digital Humanities? What is the relationship between individual disciplines served by them?
4. What is the appropriate role of markup?
5. Big structures or lightweight webs. What is the most sensible technical template for research infrastructures for the Digital Humanities?
6. “Digital curation” or “digital preservation” is a topic, which has originated within the world of digital libraries; recently it has been drawn closer and closer to the Digital Humanities. Using its as example: What is the proper balance between conceptual work and technology?
7. “Digital Libraries” have started their life as an answer to opportunities created by a specific stage of technical development. Where are they now, between Computer Science and the Digital Humanities?
