Recommendation 3
Scholars
in the humanities and related social sciences should work with librarians
and technologist to develop tools for mark-up, searching, vetting, displaying, and
representing knowledge, as well as standards for the documentation of data and objects. Funders, including NSF and NEH, and
academic leaders
should support the development of digital tools and standards for
humanities and social science research and instruction. Such support should include the development of spaces for
collaboration among the toolmakers and standards-bearers, as well as the scholarly
validation of these activities.
