Website down again.
by James Cummings 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

These kinds of things always seem to happen at the holidays. The Digital Medievalist website is down temporarily because of a problem with the virtual machine that the University of Lethbridge donates to us and will unfortunately stay down for a few days until the appropriate support technician returns from the holidays. The mailing list is of course unaffected, but journal articles, wiki, and website are all down probably until the new year sometime. However, some of these are available at a temporary mirror of the DM site I've put up at http://hilda.oucs.ox.ac.uk:8081/ and the news-posting form at that site should work in case anyone has announcements to submit. I can only apologise for the current problems (not of our making) and hope the goodwill of those at University of Lethbridge will lead to the problem being fixed as soon as they return to work. My apologies, Dr James Cummings Director, Digital Medievalist

The partners will * design a cataloguing system to create and manage descriptive metadata for Asian manuscripts, including adapting the ENRICH TEI metadata schema * catalogue the manuscripts using this tool * create cover-to-cover, high quality digital photographs of the manuscripts * produce a website to enable sophisticated access to the metadata and its associated digital images. The website will be hosted by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and digitised content will also be available via the Wellcome Library catalogue, pending inclusion of the complete catalogue on the Wellcome site when circumstances permit. The project is partly funded by a grant from the JISC's Islamic Studies Programme.

Hi again, The Digital Medievalist Website is now back up and everything should be working as normal. Please do let us know if something is not working properly! Also note that I'll be doing some maintenance on the machine this Saturday morning (GMT) and so that should be considered an 'at risk' period if it disappears temporarily. Otherwise the website, journal, wiki, news-posting service, and such should all be working properly. Apologies again for this unscheduled downtime. Dr James Cummings Director, Digital Medievalist
