What is to be done?

A great deal has been done over the past twenty-ve years. We have established collections that have evolved over a number of years and long outlived initial grants and enthusiasm. Roger Bagnall, Allison Muri, Greg Nagy, and Kenneth Price have described disciplinary projects with overlapping needs. Alan Burdette, Charles Henry, Paolo D'Iorio, Penelope Kaiserlian, and Todd Presner have reported substantive progress towards an infrastructure that can support scholarly activities today and foster innovation over time. But we have a long way to go. We need to think on a far broader scale and move much further beyond our original disciplines if we are to realize the potential of this new medium. We are still far too fragmented and constrained by our disciplinary perspective or the traditions of publication that we have inherited. Much of what we say echoes what we could have heard a generation ago. All of us need to move beyond rst-generation eorts and do a better job of transcending our own disciplinary boundaries.

As a philologist with a particular responsibility for linguistic sources, I pose the following questions:

1) Can we manage the linguistic sources of the contemporary world? This includes thousands of languages, time-based media and overwhelming scale.

2) Can we manage the historical record of human language, extending more than four thousand years into the past and stretching, at minimum, from China and Japan to the Atlantic coast of Europe and Africa? Ultimately, the challenge here becomes scarcity, because, however rich our surviving sources may be, they are nite and imperfect. We cannot conduct experiments with native speakers of Classical Greek.

3) How do our linguistic sources relate to the material record? How well can we integrate the texts of Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War or Tom Sawyer to the very dierent datasets available for the Greek world of the fth century BCE and North America in the nineteenth century?

None of us can solve or fully understand any of these three questions. We all have our own research projects and must focus our eorts if we are to make tangible progress. Nevertheless, the digital world has no borders and every digital project can potentially interact with each other. My work on the Greek historian Thucydides should combine in unpredictable and interesting ways with work on the Chinese historian Sima Qian, the North African historian Ibn Chaldun, and the memoirs of Ulysses S. Grantthe more recombinant my work, the better its chance not only of surviving but evolving long after my contribution has ceased. We all know the cliché that we should think globally and act locally. Whatever we do for the world in which we live, we should think about each of the global and the local every day in our scholarly work.
