I’d like to have a conversation about how we plan for the future of digital humanities projects, especially the web-based components presenting contextualized data. I’m concerned about sustainability when we lose so many on-line resources each year. How can we build a reliable scholarly body of digital work when we risk losing the foundations?

My own work is focused on building a platform that allows reliable citation: citations that point to a given version of a resource, that reproduce that version of the resource, and do so for a long time.

I’d also love to demonstrate and discuss the code I’ve been working on.
