Arts and humanities e-science—Current practices and future challenges

This article offers an analysis of UK arts and humanities e-Science practices in order to identify current trends. It also considers challenges of how arts and humanities disciplines fit into the overall e-Science agenda. We will discuss a first phase of early experimentation projects in 2007 and continue with a second phase since 2007, which more systematically investigates methodologies and technologies that could provide answers to grand challenges in digital arts and humanities research.
