IVANHOE IVANHOE is an
open source electronic
role-playing game for educational use. It was developed by ARP at the
University of Virginia. It is so named because
Sir Walter Scott's novel,
Ivanhoe, was used as the source text for the very first IVANHOE game. IVANHOE is notable as an example of the use of
ludic or game-related techniques in higher education in the humanities.
NINES NINES is the
Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-century Electronic Scholarship, a scholarly organization in British and American nineteenth-century studies supported by ARP, a software development group assembling a suite of critical and editorial tools for digital scholarship. It was founded in 2003 by
Jerome McGann at the
University of Virginia. NINES serves as a clearinghouse for
peer-reviewed digital resources, which can be collected, annotated, and re-used in online "exhibits." It is powered by
open-source Collex software. In 2011, the NINES model was expanded to include a sister site in eighteenth-century studies, called 18thConnect.
Collex Collex is an
open source social software and
faceted browsing tool designed for
digital humanities. It includes
folksonomy features and is under construction at ARP. The first release of Collex is used in the
NINES initiative, but it is a generalizable tool that can be applied to other subject domains. Collex is an early example of a scholar-driven
Library 2.0 initiative and, like NINES, was conceived as a response to economic problems in
tenure and
academic publishing.
Juxta Juxta is an
open-source tool for performing
bibliographical collations for scholarly use in
textual criticism. It was developed by ARP at the
University of Virginia under the direction of textual theorist
Jerome McGann. The original application was a Java-based client available for free download. In October 2012, the Research and Development team at NINES released Juxta Commons, a fully online version of the software. ==References==
