Abstract:

We take the practical projects related to the construction of databases, datasets, knowledge bases, corporas, and related tools or platforms that can be publicly accessed on the Internet for the purpose of supporting China Study as the research objects, and take the systematic theory and paradigm required for the comprehensive construction of “China's Independent Digital Humanities Academic System” as the reference, and use the content analysis method to conduct content coding and statistical analysis of the construction of the practical projects from different dimensions. Then the systematic literature review method is used, supplemented by the network survey method and the expert inter-view method, to summarize and refine the theory and paradigm construction and the methodological and technological application innovations based on the practice projects. Finally, the comparative research method is used to place China's Digital Humanities practice in the global Digital Humanities development perspective, to deeply explore the current situation and characteristics of China's Digital Humanities practice, to identify hot spots and key points, difficulties and gaps, and assess the direction and trend. In addition, we will try to “focus on what we are doing” and systematically summarise the existing practical experience to investigate the current status of the creation of theory and paradigm, methodological and technological innovations of "China's Independent Digital Humanities Academic System", so as to provide references for exploring the construction of “Independent Knowledge System” in the field of Digital Humanities.
