Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] Research paradigm is the methodological part of disciplinary paradigm. Combing the theoretical progress of digital humanities research paradigm both at home and abroad, and constructing digital humanities technology framework can provide reference for the construction of digital humanities. [Method/Process] Adopting the methods of literature research, network research and typical case analysis, it sorted out the theories and opinions related to the research paradigm in digital humanities and summarized the common features therein. Based on the technical use of typical digital humanities projects in China, it constructed the technical framework of digital humanities. [Result/Conclusion] Digital humanities research paradigm corresponds to the research process of digital humanities from resource collection to analysis and research, and then to sharing and presentation in the logical structure of the three systems of methodology system, technology system and tool system, and shows common features. Based on the above common features, it construct the digital humanities technological framework, and enriches the relevant tools in microcosm, so as to portray the basic outline of the digital humanities research paradigm.
