title = "Battle without FAIR and easy data in digital humanities: An empirical research on the challenges of open data and APIs for the james cook dynamic journal",
abstract = "{\textcopyright} Springer International Publishing AG 2017.There are theoretical and technical challenges for Digital Humanities scholars to develop and use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Whilst data owning culture in our institutional settings seems to hinder truly interdisciplinary research, the emergence of Linked Open Data implies the increasing opportunities of distributed-data research. This article is based on an API application to address those issues in the context of Open Data. James Cook Dynamic Journal was created to assist users to study the Cook{\textquoteright}s journal, integrating various sets of APIs which facilitate full-text search, Named Entity Recognition, and map views. The development revealed some critical issues of data federation and processing automation. The standardization of data structure and the development of user-friendly GUI tools would significantly increase the value of APIs. Taking recent initiatives into account, the paper also proposes “Easy Data” to liberate Open Data for a wider spectrum of users outside the programmer community.",
