註釋
This chapter examines the production and utilisation of digital tools to create and present a born-digital theses, and in so doing, considers the changing function of traditional theses. It asks how (relatively) new technologies and methodologies should affect the representation and function of graduate scholarship in the Digital Humanities (DH), and moots an alternative to the print thesis, proposing instead two alternative texts: one a static PDF (representative of a traditional print thesis), and another enriched version, congruent with DH methods and tools, which incorporates functional boundary objects such as interactive timelines, and also explicitly documents the use of historical sources. These objects serve both to enhance the readers' experience, and to expose the scholarly process. An overview is provided of the methodology used to generate the multi-format digital thesis--derived, modified, transformed and visualised from XML--encoded scholarship. As such, we consider the implications of the creation of this single base XML encoding that, combined with software processing tools, can generate multiple representations of research. This chapter is based upon the working methodology of Webb's (2011) PhD thesis. [For the complete book, "Internet Research, Theory, and Practice: Perspectives from Ireland," see ED575997.].
