This discussion has been picked up elsewhere, and for those interested, more can be found on "Humanist", a list-serv for digital humanists, who have their own perspectives on Tim's question about how best to give credit for web-based projects. (http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Archives/Current/Humanist.vol25.txt) I've added my own response on my blog, where I tackle Tim's question: "So the question becomes - are we film or science?". http://adamcrymble.blogspot.com/2012/01/is-old-bailey-online-film-or-science.html In that article, as someone who is involved with building the digital side of these resources, I argue that the best system of credit is the one that helps team members keep their options open. Both a film-style system of credits embedded in the website, and a science-style system of authorship leaves people in my position with the most flexibility in terms of career progression without obscuring the purposes of either system of credit. That way, people who want to pursue a creative career have film-style credits at which to point future employers, and those who seek an academic career can more easily explain their academic contributions with credible citations as evidence for work.
