A plan for a Humboldt Digital Library examines the structures and features of this representational system in print and proposes models for converting these materials to electronic form. Several issues posed by Humboldt's works include: establishing authoritative standard editions in several languages, creating high-resolution access to the many visual innovations in the works, and using software to restore the grand concept that all of the separate disciplines of study can be seen as interrelated parts of the whole. Using techniques of geographic visualization, a prototype is planned which will connect this historical body of knowledge with modern scientific databases.}, language = {en} } @article{ThiemerSachse2001, author = {Thiemer-Sachse, Ursula}, title = {Welche Kunst es ist, Kunst zu begreifen...}, series = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; International Review for Humboldtian Studies}, volume = {II}, journal = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; International Review for Humboldtian Studies}, number = {2}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2568-3543}, doi = {10.18443/14}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-34582}, pages = {109 -- 119}, year = {2001}, abstract = {Alejandro de Humboldt se interes{\´o} mucho por el problema de comprender las manifestaciones del arte ind{\´i}gena de Am{\´e}rica.
