    After making millions from his internet inventions, this article from Forbes, discusses how Brewster Kahle and Google are constantly butting heads. Brewster Kahle believes that his open access of books restricts Google from having optimum control over data, such as texts. Most of the scans that are available in Kahle's Archive, are from Google. Although Kahle has been compiling his library since 1996, Google was not incorporated until 1998. Kahle's Archive is now offering a service called Bookserver that allows anyone to upload their literary texts and loan it to others.

    "In Defense of Data" presents two articles, "The Digital Inhumanities?" by Scott Selisker and "Imaginary Targets" by Holger Schott Syme, in response to an article by Stephen Marche, "Literature is Not Data: Against Digital Humanities." Selisker's essay focuses primarily on dismantling the idea that digitization removes the human element from interpretation and enforces a quasi-authoritarian view of literature. Syme's essay addresses both Marche's misunderstanding of the motivations of the movement against Google Book's digitization efforts as well as Marche's inaccurate depiction of modern literary research in the wake of digital humanities.

    This short statement at the beginning of San Marinos article Literature is not Data: Against Digital Humanities establishes the argument that BIG DATA IS INDEED COMING FOR OUR BOOKS. Marino believes that all Human endeavors have generated its own Monadic mass of data, and through these vast accumulations of ciphers the robots now endlessly scour for significance. He also believes that a smart book with a stupid title offers a fascinatingly general look at the new algorithmic culture. This culture is generated by a step by a step procedure for calculation and of times displayed through technological advancements. Marino ultimately argument is that literature is currently being took over by this "new" culture.

    The purpose of this power point presentation is to provide information on an alternative to XML called "Linked Data." The purpose of linked data is, according to the powerpoint, not to create "data silos" but to connect all these pieces of data together akin to hyperlinking. By digitizing materials in this manner, data can be more readily connected through the use of various identifiers such as Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI).

    Peter Gatkouth an immigration specialist working with the work relief in high point North Carolina helps legal immigrants stay connected with their families. This particular project was sponsored by the Wake Forest University and funded in part by the Humanities council. The Humanities council uses digital material to encourage a new approach to understanding of immigration, with a renewed focus on the lives and experiences of those who are already here. The site includes an interactive world map, which gives a geographic lens to the issue of immigration. It also incorporates a crowd sourcing component where users can upload their own content, their own stories of movement and migration.

    In the article Literature Is Not Data: Against Digital Humanities Marche explains how literature will at some point become data and how we will soon be able to read anything, anywhere, at anytime. Marche argues that literature is not data, and that it cannot be meaningfully treated as data. Instead, he believes that literature is the opposite of data and that data precedes written literature. Marche develops this "idea" that literature is terminally incomplete, and that you can not record even most of literature, even English literature. He assumes, that huge swath of the tradition are absent or in ruins.

    The author of this sort insert critiques Steven Marinos article entitled Literature is Not Data: Against Digital Humanites. In a sarcastic way the author argues against what Marino is saying he believes that Literature can be used is as Data ans suggest that everyone who is apart of the Humanites has encounter the same obstacles with people who love to read books. Reading books online does not take away the credibility of the work and Marino overlooks this issue.

    This article explains the use of curating early modern texts and how the process of doing so has advanced over the past few years. This new style of curating and archiving is organized to make the digital archive design and the use of the sites much more easy to navigate and explore for certain content. The author of this article believes that archiving and open access is a public service but not all works need to be available.
