Zwischen Beobachtung und Partizipation - nutzerzentrierte Methoden für eine Bedarfsanalyse in der digitalen Geschichtswissenschaft Between Observation and Participation - Application of User Centered Methods for a Requirements Analysis in a Digital History Project Entre observation et participation - des méthodes centrées sur l'utilisateur pour l'évaluation des besoins dans l'historiographie numérique

This contribution demonstrates the application of approaches from information science to the domain-specific analysis of user requirements in the digital humanities. The ongoing project 'Welt der Kinder' (Children and their World) serves as an example of a project in the area of digital history. In this interdisciplinary project, a team of historians, computer linguists and information scientists develops and tests innovative methods for the comparative analysis of a large corpus of historical textbooks. From an information science perspective, methods for the user centred requirements analysis will be applied and evaluated in the context of the digital humanities, resulting in a set of system requirements.
