Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance (MESA) at K-zoo
by Timothy Stinson 09 May '12

09 May '12

The Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance (MESA) will be holding a roundtable session at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at 10 AM on Friday, May 11. We'll be in Fetzer 2040. *What is MESA?* MESA is a federation of electronic medieval studies projects that provides a portal allowing the simultaneous searching of all member projects and provides peer review of electronic scholarship in the field of medieval studies. It is a sister federation of the Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-Century Electronic Scholarship (NINES) <http://www.nines.org/>and 18thConnect <http://www.18thconnect.org/>, and will be linked to both of these federations, allowing users to search any of the federations separately or in any combination. *How does MESA work?* MESA runs on Collex, an open-source collections- and exhibits-builder that is also the basis of NINES and 18thConnect. It uses Resource Description Framework (RDF) files that make data from member sites discoverable and cross-searchable. A good overview of how Collex works can be found on the NINES site at http://www.nines.org/about/software/collex/ MESA will be launching later this year and is partnering with NINES and 18thConnect to build a larger meta-federation called ARC. Representatives from MESA, NINES, and ARC will be on the panel, and we are hoping to get feedback from the community as we plan our launch. Hope to see you there!

We are looking for a candidate with an interest in visualization and/or text mining for a project focusing on the history of communication in imperial China. The Research Associate in East Asian Digital Humanities will conduct research and publish in an area relevant to the project (text mining-e.g., the automated mark-up and extraction of named entities in classical Chinese, or visualization in the digital humanities); consult on appropriate mark-up procedures; develop delivery and querying tools in collaboration with the Department of Digital Humanities; manage the project website; liaise with international experts; assist in the organization of a conference on visualization in the humanities. A Ph.D. in informatics or computing sciences, or a PhD. in a humanities subject together with expertise in the digital humanities is required. Familiarity with East Asian languages is desirable but not essential. The position is for a duration of four years starting September 2012. The closing date for receipt of applications is 10th June 2012.

DM website
by James Cummings 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hi DM-l'ers, Just to let you know that the Digital Medievalist website has moved to a new virtual machine at the University of Lethbridge. This should stop some of the very rare interruptions to the website caused by the VM not being able to see its remote storage. Moving to the new VM meant some unforeseen last minute configuration changes, so the website was up and down a few times this evening. Apologies if any of you try to load it at that point. http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/ Awhile ago, before the move, we had locked the DM wiki down in preparation for the move and to give some of our DM Board members a chance to clean the wiki of some of the spam that was there. With the move complete this is now open again! The material in the wiki http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/wiki needs updating, and so if you fancy lending a hand, please do so! And while I have your attention a quick reminder that the DM journal is always on the look-out for articles! Email the editors at: editors(a)digitalmedievalist.org Dr James Cummings, University of Oxford Director of Digital Medievalist
