Last century (Fri. Jan. 1999), Wendell Piez gave a wonderful overview of
the state of sgml-aware software development :
http://lists.village.virginia.edu/lists_archive/Humanist/v12/0334.html
In that posting, he suggested "we be more radical in imagining how we and
our audiences could get software to do what we need."
Anyone care to five an assessment of where we are now?
On the topic of surveys of the field... the latest off-line bibliography
of humanities computing I can locate is Giovanni Adamo's _BIbliografia di
informatica umanistica_ (1994)
Webwise using a popular search engine...
Library of Congress Subject Heading
Humanities--Data processing--Bibliography
yields no hits
using the same search engine and a Boolean expression
Humanities AND Data processing AND Bibliography
yields 306 hits
using the same search engine and a different boolean expression
Humanities NEAR Data processing NEAR Bibliography
yields two hits of historic import
one Susan Hockey's 1980 guide
http://www.wls.wels.net/Worldpac/eng/r000011/r010717.htm
Of course what started all this searching and catalogue comparison was my
perusal of a particularly magnificient yearbook edited by Ian Lancashire
and Willard McCarty...
