Abstract

In scientific interaction of digital humanities scholars with the digital ecosystem the focus is more on the use of digital tools and less on the digital ecosystem as a primary source. This is made visible both by the range of definitions and the focus of scientific endeavors. This paper argues that the consequences of this might be the loss of valuable digital only sources and offers some possible approaches and „hacks“ to mitigate the damage and facilitate scientific cooperation.
