<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="DE">Following several
digitization campaigns
during the last years, a large number of printed books,
manuscripts and
archaeological digital objects have become available through web
portals and
associated infrastructures to a broader public. These
infrastructures enable
not only virtual research and easier access to materials
independent of their
physical place, but also play a major role in the long term
preservation and
exploration. However, the access to digital materials opens new
possibilities
of textual research like: synchronous browsing of several
materials, extraction
of relevant passages for a certain event from different sources,
rapid search
though thousand pages, categorisation of sources, multilingual
retrieval and
support, etc. </span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="DE">Methods from Language
Technology are
therefore highly required in order to ensure extraction of
content-related
semantic metadata, and analysis of textual materials. There are
several
initiatives in Europe aiming to foster the application of
language technology
in humanities (CLARIN, DARIAH). Through such initiatives as well
as many other
research projects, the awareness of such methods for the
humanities has risen
considerably. However, there is still enough potential on both
sides: </span></p>

still research
tracks in the humanities which still do not sufficiently and
effectively
exploit language technology solutions </span></p>

the other hand, there are many languages, especially historical
variants of languages, for which the available tools and
resources still have
to be developed or adapted to serve the various humanities
applications. </span></p>
