Drawing sharp borders between disciplines and fields of rese arch negatively affects the progress of knowledge\; at DiGA we advocate fo r interoperability and exchange.\n\nThe DiGA project does not intend to ex ist in isolation\; it aims at exploring similar initiatives\, focusing on the common objective of bringing collections to the Digital Space. The fir st DiGA workshop wants to showcase examples of best practice in South Asia n studies in connection to the use of digital tools for dissemination\, sh aring and preservation of cultural heritage. Such an approach has long bee n adopted for manuscripts studies both in Buddhist and Brahmanic contexts\ ; these results and ongoing endeavors cannot be ignored by archaeologists and art historians. This is particularly relevant when bridging collection s of images and texts\, one of DiGA's objectives. Key to the interoperabil ity between databases of collections originally in various media is the im plementation of vocabularies.\n\nThe DiGA workshop is organized in four th ematic sessions and includes two roundtables for end of the day discussion s. Our project will be introduced at the opening\, then the floor for the following sessions is left to invited experts. The first session\, devoted to Gandharan studies\, will present recent studies and projects dedicated to this specific cultural area from the point of view of material culture . In the second session renowned experts in Digital Humanities will share their best practices and present a range of digital possibilities that hav e the potential to improve research in Gandharan studies and more broadly in South Asian studies. The third session includes projects focused on Sou th Asia to surpass over-compartmentalization and aiming at a full intercha ngeability of data. The fourth and last session\, is dedicated to current projects of Digital Humanities in Greater Gandhara and Central Asia\, and shows how this field continuously progresses into the Digital Space. DiGA is already part of a network of DH applied to Buddhist studies\, but inten ds to further cultivate its network\, opening to other facets of digital S outh Asian studies\, archaeology\, art history\, Indology. The sessions ar e split over two days\, and\, on both days\, discussions will be concentra ted in group roundtables that will invite participants to discuss selected topics. A key objective of the roundtables is to generate a network of sc holars sharing common views on the future of South Asian studies and to bu ild a community of scholars sharing an interest in the intersection betwee n South Asian Studies and Digital Humanities.\n\n\nPlaces are only availab le with registration and can be booked via this link:\n\nhttps://ruhr-uni- bochum.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5Akdu2trj8sGNIhrmslrL8LIVorzIyb2ahO \n\n \n\n \n \n \n Program\n \n \n \n \n DAY 1 - 7 February 2022\n \n \n \n \n 10:00-11:00\n \n \n Greetings and DiGA Project Presentation (DiGA Team)\n \n \n \n \n 11:00-11:15\n \n \n C offee Break\n \n \n \n \n 11:15-12:45\n \n \n Session 1 – Ongoing research on Gandhara (Jessie Pons)\n \n \n \n \n 12:00-12: 30\n \n \n Abdul Samad (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Directorate of Archaeolog y and Museums)\n \n \n Recent Developments in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa arc haeology: an overview\n \n \n \n \n 12:30-13:00\n \n \n Stef an Baums (Ludwig‐Maximilians‐University\, Munich)\n \n \n Gandha ri.org – A Corpus and Research Environment for Inscribed Gandhāran Arte facts\n \n \n \n \n 13:00-13:30\n \n \n Peter Stewart (Unive rsity of Oxford)\n \n \n The Classical Art Research Centre: Resource s for Ancient Greek and Gandharan Art in Oxford\n \n \n \n \n 12:4 5-13:45\n \n \n Lunch Break\n \n \n \n \n 13:45-15:15 \n \n \n Session 2 – Digital Humanities: Best practice (Frederik Elwert )\n \n \n \n \n 14:30-15:00\n \n \n Gethin Rees (The British Library\, London)\n \n \n TBA\n \n \n \n \n 15:00-15:30\n \n \n Florian Kräutli (University of Zürich)\n \n \n Bridging Digital Collections\n \n \n \n \n 15:30-16:00\n \n \n Isabe lla Nicka (University of Salzburg)\n \n \n Modelling Visual Narrativ es.
