\n<\/strong>On one end, we have the builders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Stephen Ramsay is all about these people. \u00a0I might argue that building doesn’t have to claim stakes in DH. \u00a0Creators and humanists can hire a computer scientist to code with them, that Com Scientist is a builder.<\/p>\n
\nCreators are close to Builders on the spectrum. \u00a0They might have some technical skills, but they don’t do a lot of the coding, network management, whatever. \u00a0They\u00a0think\u00a0<\/em>of the ideas, they communicate the ideas, they curate them when things have a foundation. \u00a0Creators play a big role in devising a \u00a0way to make the tools and content of DH shareable and spreadable. \u00a0The maker of CommentPress system didn’t build CommentPress herself, but she was a Creator.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I’m using this in very similar ways to any other tech platform. \u00a0Just like websites or software, DH has users. \u00a0Users can contribute suggestions, report usage data and error reports, or can have only minimal interaction with the project. \u00a0Sample makes the suggestion to revolutionize academic publishing by just, publishing academic articles like you would any other self-published work. \u00a0Go to Amazon. \u00a0Go to Google. \u00a0This would be a “user”. \u00a0Literally Amazon would call you a user or customer, the same set of responsibilities apply here. \u00a0The user does not break new ground, but successfully interacts with the infrastructure already in place.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>There are two names for this group, depending on if you are someone like Sample, Mullen, or Ramsay, you might prefer a different connotation. \u00a0Pick yours \u00a0The Appropriator uses DH tools, claims the DH label, but does not contribute. \u00a0They benefit from the work of others. \u00a0For instance, they might go to a digitally published work or progress and “engage” in that scholarship only in the base way, to cite it in their own work. \u00a0This group goes to the library, but the digital aspects are left largely unappreciated. \u00a0[Some might argue, most undergraduates would fit into this category.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
