Abstract

abstract:From Father Roberto Busa's innovative use of computing in the humanities to the Reverend John Ellison's creation of the first electronic Bible concordance, religion and religious texts played a formative role in the development of data analytics. Yet the subsequent development of spiritual software and the management of religious data have been underexplored. The production, collection, and ownership of religious data—whether Bible translation, sermons, commentaries, or scholarship—resulted in the development of unique digital tools designed for religious purposes. Pastoral research programs, sermon databases, and Bible software turned prior religious media into data accessible through novel digital infrastructures designed for Christian professionals and practitioners alike. A historical account of spiritual software highlights the ways that these emerging systems of information gathering and retrieval shape and are shaped by long-standing strategies for the production, analysis, authorship, and ownership of religious texts.
开源宗教:精神软件与宗教数据的生产和所有权(1955–2010)
摘要:从Roberto Busa神父在人文学科中创新地使用计算机,到John Ellison牧师创建了第一个电子圣经索引,宗教和宗教文本在数据分析的发展中发挥了重要作用。然而,随后的精神软件开发和宗教数据管理却没有得到充分的探索。宗教数据的生产、收集和所有权——无论是圣经翻译、布道、评论还是学术——导致了为宗教目的设计的独特数字工具的发展。牧师研究项目、布道数据库和圣经软件通过为基督教专业人士和从业者设计的新型数字基础设施,将以前的宗教媒体转化为可访问的数据。精神软件的历史记录突出了这些新兴的信息收集和检索系统的形成方式,以及由宗教文本的生产、分析、作者和所有权的长期战略所形成的方式。
