Abstract

This article aims to introduce the Spanish reader to the current debates in the English speaking community of Digital Humanities. Rather than trying to define the discipline in absolute terms the approach is broadly diachronic though some principles as interdisciplinarity and modeling, values as openness and practices as data mining and collaboracion are emphasized.
