APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTINGS
Dear Colleagues
I have recently launched a blog on digital collaboration, particularly focussing on how multidisciplinary work can be made possible through increased collaboration and cooperation between the various disciplinary/professional groups that are involved in the creation of digital libraries, repositories and digitised cultural institutions. One of the first hurdles to be overcome is to ensure that we all share the same understandings of what the various groups mean when they use certain terms: we need to speak the same language, or at the very least, ‘translate’ from one disciplinary ‘language game’ (as Wittgenstein might have put it) to another.
I would like to invite you all to have a look, and to comment as you see fit. If you would like to write a post, please contact me at this address.
The more international the readership – and commentators! – are, the better, so I would much appreciate it if you could forward this email to interested parties in your language group. There are translation facilities available at the blog, and its address is: digitalcollaboration.wordpress.com .
All the best
Sue
