New collaborations between information technology and the humanities

e-Science in the UK and elsewhere stands for a broad agenda
as important for the humanities as it is for the natural sciences:
to extend the application of advanced information technologies
to develop new kinds of research across the whole range of
academic disciplines, particularly through the use of internetbased resources. The aim of this session is to introduce some
recent UK developments in this area, side by side with related
developments in other parts of Europe.
