Digital Classicist/Institute of Classical Studies Work in Progress Seminar, Summer 2008 Friday August 1 at 16:30, in room NG16, Senate House, Malet Street, London Juan Garcés (British Library) 'Digitizing the oldest complete Greek Bible: The Codex Sinaiticus project' ALL WELCOME The Codex Sinaiticus Project is an international collaboration to reunite the entire manuscript in digital form—text, high quality images, and metadata—and make it accessible to a global audience for the first time. Drawing on the expertise of leading scholars, conservators, and curators, the Project gives everyone the opportunity to connect directly with this famous artefact. This seminar will present the concept behind the digital edition of this manuscript. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

Seminar: Markup of the epigraphy and archaeology of Roman Libya
by Mahony, Simon 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Digital Classicist/Institute for Classical Studies Work in Progress Seminar, Summer 2008 Friday 25th July at 16:30, in room NG16, Senate House, Malet Street, London Charlotte Tupman (KCL) 'Markup of the epigraphy and archaeology of Roman Libya' 1,500 Greek and Latin inscriptions survive from Roman Cyrenaica (modern Libya). A project to produce a digital publication of these texts is currently in progress at King’s College London, in association with colleagues in Libya, Italy and the U.S.A. (http://ircyr.kcl.ac.uk/). This paper discusses the issues surrounding the markup of these texts in EpiDoc XML and the possibilities of associating archaeological data with the epigraphic material. ALL WELCOME The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

Towards the Digital Squeeze: 3-D imaging of inscriptions and curse tablets (seminar)
by Gabriel Bodard 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Digital Classicist/Institute for Classical Studies Work in Progress Seminar, Summer 2008 Friday 18th July at 16:30, in Stewart House B9 (between Senate House & Russell Square) *Note room change* Ryan Baumann (University of Kentucky) 'Towards the Digital Squeeze: 3-D imaging of inscriptions and curse tablets' ALL WELCOME Creating records of inscriptions often serves multiple purposes, such as aiding interpretation, preservation, or dissemination. Traditionally, squeezes, sketches, and photographs have been the methods by which these representations have been made. This talk will explore the possibilities for epigraphic study offered by non-contact 3D digitization, which enables the ability to capture, distribute, and visualize the full geometric properties of an inscription. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments. For more information please contact Gabriel.Bodard(a)kcl.ac.uk or Simon.Mahony(a)kcl.ac.uk, or see the seminar website at http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2008.html -- Dr Gabriel BODARD (Epigrapher & Digital Classicist) Centre for Computing in the Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Email: gabriel.bodard(a)kcl.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0)20 7848 1388 Fax: +44 (0)20 7848 2980 http://www.digitalclassicist.org/ http://www.currentepigraphy.org/

TEI Digitization/Membership benefit survey--last call for comment
by Daniel Paul O'Donnell 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hello all, The Text Encoding Initiative (www.tei-c.org) is exploring the feasibility of a benefit of membership in the form of a negotiated vendor discount for producing machine-readable, xml-encoded text in small- to medium-scale digitization projects. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey at the link below in order to provide us with information that would help us negotiate with vendors on the basis of an accurate assessment of the nature and extent of demand for such a benefit. Link to survey: https://lrcreport.lis.uiuc.edu/TEITITE2008 This is the last call for comment participation. We will be processing the forms this August and September and present the results at our members meeting, 6-8 November in King's College London: http://www.cch.kcl.ac.uk/cocoon/tei2008/index.html. Sincerely, Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Chair, Text Encoding Initiative http://www.tei-c.org/ Email: daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca

Computational Approaches to Human and Animal Movement (seminar)
by Mahony, Simon 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Digital Classicist/ICS Work in Progress Seminar, Summer 2008 Friday 4th July at 16:30, in Stewart House B3 (between Senate House & Russell Square) Andrew Bevan (UCL) Computational Approaches to Human and Animal Movement in the Archaeological Record **ALL WELCOME** The inferential leap between the static archaeological record and our explanation of dynamic past behaviours is always a challenging one, but computational and quantitative techniques can be of great assistance. In particular, they can provide useful insight on patterns of human and animal movement, by better characterising existing archaeological evidence, suggesting simple models of mobile decision-making or proposing expected patterns of movement against which the observed record can be compared. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
