Dear all,
The Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources has just put up a new post on our blog that reflects on the practices of digital humanities/digital medievalism, specifically with respect to the importance of explicitly documenting who did what in the context of a given project. It was sparked by one of the talks at the "Middle Ages in the Modern World" conference in Lincoln last week, as well as by my own practices implemented in the running of the DMNES. I'd be interested in any feedback or counterpoints any of you might have:

Dear Sara,
This is an excellent and timely post.
I was recently reading about the effort of project CRediT to create a standard taxonomy for attribution of collaboration in the sciences and was thinking it would be good to have a similar one for the digital humanities:http://credit.casrai.org/proposed-taxonomy/
Is anyone here familiar with something similar?
For our own part, on our project we follow a similar protocol for our TEI, where we have the following levels of attribution:
Editor (person responsible for editorial decisions) Contributor (all scholars who made authorial level contributions) Additional Credit (all scholars and developers who helped transform or augement the data) Changelog (a list similar to a git commit that tracks and attributes all changes in the published TEI file)
An example can be found here: http://syriaca.org/place/78/tei
Best, Dave
