Despite being an official language of several countries in Central and Western Europe, German is not formally recognised as the official language of the Federal Republic of Germany. However, in certain situations the use of the German language, including the spelling rules, is subject to state regulation (by acts of Federal Parliament orby administrative decisions). This article presents the content of this regulation, its scope, and the historical context in which it was adopted.
This paper presents challenges and opportunities resulting from the application of geographical information systems (GIS) in the (digital) humanities. First, we provide an overview of the intersection and interaction between geography (and cartography), and the humanities. Second, the “GeoBib” project is used as a case study to exemplify challenges for such collaborative, interdisciplinary projects, both for the humanists and the geoscientists. Finally, we conclude with an outlook on further applications of GIS in the humanities, and the potential scientific benefit for both sides, humanities and geosciences.
