Digital Classicist/ICS Work in Progress Seminar, Summer 2009
Friday June 26th at 16:30
STB3/6 (Stewart House), Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU
*Marco Büchler & Annette Loos (Leipzig)*
*Textual Re-use of Ancient Greek Texts: A case study on Plato’s works*
ALL WELCOME
We will discuss the technical realisation and efficiency of several
dimensions of detecting citations and apply them in the field of the
Plato's aftermath. Central parts of this presentation are graph based
approaches. Based on substantial experience of an ongoing collaboration
between researchers of Classical Studies and Computer Science we shall
also reflect on the different approaches to working with text.
A full abstract along with the series programme can be found at:

The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce changes in the
officers of Digital Medievalist.
* James Cummings will be replacing me as Director.
* Malte Rehbein will be succeeding Arianna Ciula and Dot Porter as
Editor in Chief of the journal.
* Peter Stokes and I will be acting as associate editors of the
journal.
* Rebecca Welzenbach will be continuing as Reviews Editor.
* Dot Porter will be taking over primary responsibility for the Wiki.
The other members of the Board will be involved in various roles in all
these activities. The current membership of the board (term end in
parenthesis) is:
* Marjorie Burghart (-2010)
* James Cummings (-2010)
* Daniel Paul O'Donnell (-2011)
* Dorothy Carr Porter (-2010)
* Malte Rehbein (-2011)
* Roberto Rosselli Del Turco (-2010)
* Torsten Schassen (-2010)
* Peter Stokes (-2011)
I think these changes are an important part of Digital Medievalist's
transition from a grant-funded project to a true community-based
community of practice. It is exciting to see new hands at the reins, and
I think we can expect great things from the coming year.
Thanks very much to all previous board members and officers (see
http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/about/). And good luck to the new Honchos!

James is really to be congratulated for fixing up the DM newserver,
replacing the buggy, handrolled one I did as an exercise in learning PHP.
As James mentions in the email, this new server allows posters to a)
push their messages to the list; b) have a record that will be indexed
by the search engines, and c) allow distribution to people who subscribe
to the server, even if they are not members of the list--all this using
a single form.
Although the server is powered by wordpress, you can access it from the
digitalmedievalist.org site, by clicking on the news tab. Every posting
to dm-l also contains a link to the server in the information found at
the bottom of the page.
Thanks again, James!
