(A Selection of) The Different faces of Arts,
Humaities and Social Sciences
4
Old versus new methods. The new methods are
gaining ground in the AHSS, but the old still
prevail.
5
Social Sciences employed computers way back at
the start of the 20th century punch cards!
6
Archaeology is also adopting lots of new
technology. Recording the excavation site is of
great importance
7
and due to the treaty of Malta
8
the number of excavations is sky-rocketing!
9
The resulting data can be used in a number of
ways, one of which is a 3D virtial
representation of the site.
10
Linguists are also looking for new ways to work
with digital information. The text-bodies they
want to work with double in size regularly.
11
Three people from central america whose language
is almost extinct.
12
The Dobes database at MPI records these
endangered languages for posterity.

Two projects in the AHSS sector that are already
dealing with these problems
16
Both projects aim for a service oriented grid
based architecture
17
Unfortunately, there is a bit of a knowledge gap.
18
My work for DANS and BiG Grid includes
bridging this gap between technology and
researchers

We already have experience with uploading
massive amounts of files for the RACM
(archaeology).
21
Although the grid can easily handle large
streams, it has a problem with processing large
batches of smaller files. Uploading individual
files takes far too long. But in the end, grid
support took care of the problem.
