Digital Humanities as a new field and as a virtual community

Why do we need a DH project registry (Benelux, EU, …)?- useful for a field in the making;- Project information is too much scattered
What do you think could be the function of such a registry?- inform about past present projects to avoid redundancy- find experts and possible collaborators - get inspired- information source for students- support science policy about future funding
If so, what information you would like to be able to search for?- project names, categories, persons, institutions, time, funding institutions
Would you like to be able to curate your own project information?- yes, but I would prefer to have as much information as possible prefilled for me
