INNOVATING IN PROJECT CULTURE
HILAME—an acronym for Hidalgos, Labradoras, Mercaderes—is a Digital Humanities project designed to build a prosopography of people who lived in the
Middle Ages.
On the one hand, it seeks to reflect on—and deepen our understanding of—the relationship between historians and their research subjects through the processing of
documentary sources.
On the other, it contributes both strategically and operationally to the development of an innovative open-science project, co-designed by historians, anthropologists, designers, and programmers through an interdisciplinary, user-centered, real-time–informed methodology.
HILAME has fostered horizontal, collaborative research and development, applying design thinking and co-creating an eco-informatics project that is open to
society, shared under a Creative Commons license, and disseminated across multiple
social networks.
The goal of achieving convergence with other scientific initiatives—and promoting interoperability among their respective databases—has been realized through
Scripta manent, a National R&D Plan project directed by Cristina Jular Pérez-Alfaro (CSIC), which provides prosopographical information from several unpublished charters preserved in the Archivo Histórico de la Nobleza and has enabled
experimentation with new data-upload procedures.
Ultimately, HILAME aims to connect the men and women of the late medieval period with today’s internet users. The challenge is set.
