The document discusses a project called DM2E that is researching scholarly practices in the humanities and building digital humanities tools. It focuses on the Scholarly Domain Model (SDM) that DM2E is using to model the entities and relationships of the digital scholarship domain. The SDM identifies areas, primitives, activities, and operations of scholarly work. It also describes the Pundit suite of tools for annotating, linking, comparing, and visualizing scholarly sources that were developed based on the SDM.

9. 2. SDM As Research Focus
“A research focus in DM2E is modelling of the scholarly domain, closely related to the user requirements gathering exercises that underpin the development of the DM2E Digital Humanities tools.”

10. 2. SDM: What is it?
“The SDM is conceived as an explicit but not definite set of the entities and relations of the domain of digital scholarship in the humanities. We believe that modelling is the goal, not the model.”
- Gradmann et al, t.b.p.; cf. Thaller 2013

11. 2. SDM: Why?
●Going beyond infrastructure
●Building bridges between infrastructure and scholarly practices
●Informing the work on digital tools for humanities scholars
-Addressing gaps in digital workflows
-Where new/additional tools would be helpful
-Recognising patterns in the behaviour of the scholars

16. 2. SDM: Primitives
Scholarly Primitives (John Unsworth, 2000):
I'm using the term "primitives" in a self-consciously analogical way, to refer to some basic functions common to scholarly activity across disciplines, over time, and independent of theoretical orientation. These "self-understood" functions form the basis for higher-level scholarly projects, arguments, statements, interpretations--in terms of our original, mathematical/philosophical analogy, axioms.
