  1. What's in a #term? Wir freuen uns über Diskussionen zu kontrollierten #Vokabularen im Bereich #OER (#OpenEducationalResources), aber nicht nur dort. Gerne stellen @jodageiger und ich auf der #DHd2026 das #Glossar #GlossOER und das #Metadatenschema des Projektes #DALIA vor und grüßen die Kolleg:innen! @dalia #glossary #Metadata #terminology #DH #DigitalHumanities

  2. To use or not to use the term "#megafire"? 🔥

    After Linley et al. (2022) suggested a standardized definition (> 10,000 ha extent) to reduce ambiguity, a new perspective by Stoof et al. (2023) recommends not using the term at all in science:

    I'm a fan of clear definitions and standardization of #terminology, but at the same time also wondering if we really need a special term for fires of a certain extent?
