The goal of HaS task 8.2 "Open Methods Review" according to the description of work was to develop a "Open Humanities Methods Review Journal" in which methods and tools used in Digital Humanities Research would be reviewed. In order to achieve this, we have launched a metablog called Open Methods. It is a tool which aims at republishing already published content dealing with the use of methods and tools in Digital Humanities (DH) research. The selection is done by an Editorial Team of renowned DH experts. The Editorial Team is coordinated by the Chief Editor and supported by a Management Team. About the nature of this document: This deliverable is the second and last one of work package 8 "Open Methods Infrastructure". It is a short description of the work done within this work package and its result: the OpenMethods metablog.
As cultural institutions are digitizing their artifacts and interlinking their collections, new opportunities emerge to engage with cultural heritage. However, it is the often comprehensive and complex nature of collections that can make it difficult to grasp their distribution and extent across a variety of dimensions. After a brief introduction to the research area of collection visualizations, this paper presents a design study visualizing an aggregated collection from diverse cultural institutions in Germany. We detail our iterative design process leading to prototypical implementations of four stylistically and functionally coordinated visualizations, each one focusing on different facets of the collection.
