Drage kolegice, dragi kolege,
I have recently joined the GO:DH mailing list, so I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Neven Jovanovic, I work at the University of Zagreb, Croatia (at the Department of Classical Philology), and my primary interest in digital humanities is exploring texts, especially in Latin. To this purpose we have built a digital collection Croatiae auctores Latini (CroALa, www.ffzg.unizg.hr/klafil/croala, using ARTFL's PhiloLogic and TEI XML standard), containing Latin texts written by people connected with Croatia, and currently we're trying to see what can we learn from this collection that could not have been learned otherwise.
Croatia, with population of 4.5 million, is a small country, and its DH community is small enough that we all know each other. It has its advantages and disadvantages, of course. The country is also heavily hit by an economic crisis and uses a small language, so its resources in language technology and digitisation of cultural heritage are relatively limited (and not always coherent).
That is why I'm interested to see what will arise from GO:DH discussions and exchange of ideas. And I'll circulate the news about GO:DH to people I know.
Srdačno,
Neven
