I am looking for a standardized list of terms to help us categorize digital humanities projects? What are the terms that we would use to constitute the field/discipline of digital humanities?
Standardized/recommended terms to categorize digital humanities projects?

MemberBest AnswerI would recommend the list of categories that the organizers of DH2013 are using to define "priority topics" of reviewer expertise.

Just a quick note to say that this list was newly updated by the international Program Committee for Digital Humanities 2013, building from a set of terms that had been used for DH conferences for a number of years. As Ted says, it's meant to help match expert reviewers to conference proposals -- so wasn't created as a pure ontology for digital humanities research -- but it might be a useful place to start.

Dear Ted, thank you so much for taking the time to respond with such a great starting list! This will be extremely helpful. And, I will be glad to share back the list that we end up using for ProjectDH.org. Much obliged! Replying to @tedunderwood's post:
