Abstract: Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt einen hybriden Analyseansatz vor, der word-embedding-gestützte Topic-Modeling-Verfahren mit Distinktivitätsmaßen kombiniert, um Textgruppen zu vergleichen. Wir haben ein Topic-Modell für eine Sammlung von 600 französischen Romanen trainiert, distinktive Topics für jedes Subgenre ermittelt und diese Topics dann mit manuell erstellten textuellen Gattungsprofilen verglichen, um die Leistung verschiedener Distinktivitätsmaße bei der Identifizierung von distinktiven Topics zu evaluieren.

Digitale geisteswissenschaftliche Projekte sind zunehmend komplex und interdisziplinär, was neue Anforderungen an Projektorganisation, Doku-mentation und Teamarbeit stellt. Dennoch bleibt Projektmanagement in Forschung und Lehre häufig unterrepräsentiert. Dieser Beitrag schlägt ei-nen hybriden methodischen Ansatz vor, der agile Prinzipien mit Verfahren des Requirements Engineering verbindet, um Transparenz, Struktur und nachhaltige Nachnutzbarkeit in DH-Projekten zu fördern. Anhand eines praxisnahen Projektbeispiels wird gezeigt, wie sich soziale und technische Herausforderungen methodisch bewältigen lassen. Ergänzend wird kritisch reflektiert, dass Förderstrukturen wie bei der DFG die Projektleitung auto-matisch an Antragstellende koppeln – ein Modell, das der Realität interdis-ziplinärer Projektarbeit oft nicht gerecht wird. Vorgeschlagen wird, Projekt-leitungsrollen auszuschreiben und curriculare Module zu etablieren, um Absolvent:innen der Digital Humanities gezielt auf diese Verantwortung vorzubereiten. Damit wird Projektmanagement als integraler Bestandteil digitaler Forschung positioniert.

Bald starten wir bei der #DHd2026 durch mit Intertextualität, Textähnlichkeit und Linked Open Data! Mit Laura Untner, Bernhard Oberreither, Jan Horstmann, Julia Nantke, Christof Schöch, Paula Wojcik

Not just Text, Intertext! Neue Wege der semantischen Modellierung und Annotation für intertextuelle Bezüge

Laura Untner, Bernhard Oberreither, Jan Horstmann, Julia Nantke, Christof Schöch, Paula Wojcik

Das Panel widmet sich der Frage, wie intertextuelle Beziehungen digital modelliert und annotiert werden können. Im Fokus stehen theoretische und technische Ansätze zur systematischen Erfassung, Strukturierung und maschinenlesbaren Bereitstellung intertextueller Bezüge. Die Beiträge beleuchten unterschiedliche Arten von Intertextualität, diskutieren epistemische Potenziale semantischer Technologien und thematisieren Grenzen der Übertragbarkeit geisteswissenschaftlicher Methodik in digitale Kontexte. Zugleich wird gefragt, welche Textbegriffe der Modellierung zugrunde liegen und wie sie das Verständnis von Textbeziehungen prägen. Die Spannweite reicht von der vergleichenden Annotation von Figureneigenschaften über die Entwicklung intuitiver Annotationstools und theorieoffener Ontologien bis hin zu quantitativen Verfahren und einer traditionell-literaturwissenschaftlichen Fallstudie. Das Panel versteht sich somit als exemplarischer Beitrag zur kritischen Reflexion und Bestandsaufnahme intertextueller Annotations- und Modellierungsverfahren in der digitalen Literaturwissenschaft – insbesondere zur Modellierung von Textbeziehungen als Linked Data.
