Abstract

Big Data in the humanities is a new phenomenon that is expected to revolutionize the process of humanities research. The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) is a cyberinfrastructure to support humanities research on big humanities data. The HathiTrust Research Center has been designed to make the technology serve the researcher to make the content easy to find, to make the research tools efficient and effective, to allow researchers to customize their environment, to allow researchers to combine their own data with that of the HTRC, and to allow researchers to contribute tools. The architecture has multiple layers of abstraction providing a secure, scalable, extendable, and generalizable interface for both human and computational users.
