Abstract
report on the work. This book presents the work carried out at the University of Hamburg at the Hiob Ludolf Center for Ethiopia and Eritrean Studies (HLCEES) on the project Beta Ma-ā--ft (BM), giving access to scientific and technical considerations and choices leading to the creation of a digital environment for studies on and on the basis of classical Ethiopian texts. Beyond this area, Digital Approaches to Ethiopia and Eritrean Studies can be read as an extremely pedagogical presentation of what digital data now represents in the social sciences and humanities. Based on many practical examples and solid experience, the book proposes a broad theoretical reflection on open data and what real interoperability can be. It gives an understanding of what ‘digital humanities’ bring to the world of research and how the numerous tools for describing, interviewing, manipulating and visualising sources offer a new scientific paradigm, that of Linked Open Data (LOD or ‘Linked Open Data’, more commonly known in French as ‘semantic web’) and ‘History made from data’ (Data Driven History).
