Annotation
The submitted topic of doctoral study requires from the applicant an interdisciplinary (ethnology and anthropology - archiving - digital humanities) and theoretical-applied approach (interpretation and heuristics - creation of practical outputs and methodologies). It focuses on current approaches and trends in the design and construction of digital research collections in the humanities, especially in ethnology and anthropology. Emphasis is placed on the problem of metadata structures of research collections, the applicability of research collections in the practice of humanities research and their further perspective use (scientific and non-scientific). The study also includes professional activities at the Department of Research Collections of IESA SAS, including the practical preparation and creation of specific sets of digital research collections.
