Mining Medieval Data
by Peter Stokes 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Dear all, I have a question about what tools and techniques people are using for data mining in medieval studies, especially for authorship attribution and scribal identification. If you use them then which systems do you use? How do you verify the results? Do you trust the system to work and not simply to reproduce your own views? If you don't use these systems then why not? I'm thinking of a recent article in LLC 23 (2008) by Sculley and Pasanek which seems to me to raise some … [View More]

Fwd: Object, Artefact and Script: digital approaches to inscribed surfaces
by Dot Porter 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

[from Digital Classicist, apologies for cross-posting] We should like to let you know about a two-day seminar, 'Object, Artifact and Script: digital approaches to inscribed surfaces', to be held at the e-Science Institute in Edinburgh on (Thursday and Friday) 8-9 October, 2009. (Programme will be posted at http://www.nesc.ac.uk/esi/events/1014/ .) The event description follows: The text upon an object is both evidence for and part of its form and therefore its function; just as the … [View More]construction and purpose of an object gives context to and aids in the interpretation of text. Indeed, the form of an object effects the placement and design of text and decoration upon it. Non-verbal decorations drawn or painted on an object fall somewhere between (2-D) text and (3-D) physical object: like the text they are added by the scribe or artist, they have semantic (if not verbal) connotation, and are often taken out of the material context of the object; like the object, however, they are considered as artistic and visual content, and are hard to digitize meaningfully. Nevertheless they sometimes come closest to crossing the artificial boundary and may be studied by both philologists and archaeologists. Text may also be constrained by the placement of decoration on a surface, or vice versa. This conference will bring together scholars from a variety of fields who study objects and texts side by side to discuss the ways in which advanced computer science methods can enhance both their own work and the nature of their collaborations with other researchers working on the same objects. Methods to be considered will include (but need not be restricted to): * Linking/connecting text and images of objects within digital editions/projects, or making object description an intrinsic part of a text edition; * Advanced imaging (3D surface scanning, multi-spectral imaging, non-invasive volumetric scanning, stereographic/photogrammetric imaging) to bring lost or damaged text/engraving out of objects; * Automated text/character analysis; identification of text fields/columns/lines; * Reconstruction and visualization of damaged, unclear or complex text-bearing objects; * Digital placing of objects in historical and archaeological contexts to highlight textual/non-textual features. If you are interested in attending this event, please register on the eSI website, and confirmation will be sent you as soon as possible.

Recommendations for Field Laser Scanning Providers?
by Dan O'Donnell 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hi all, For a grant application, I need to submit quotes on field laser scanning. We need to scan the Bewcastle, Ruthwell, and perhaps Brussels crosses to a very high degree of detail. Ruthwell is in a church, Bewcastle exposed in a field, and Brussels in a cathedral treasury. Ruthwell and Bewcastle are stone and around 15 feet tall; Brussels is partially gilt, and a couple of feet tall at most. In the past we've used Archaeoptics, but my understanding is that they are now defunct. We … [View More]
