CFP: Research Summit on Collation, Münster 3 & 4 October 2014
by Joris van Zundert 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

=== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION === == Research Summit on Collation of Ancient and Medieval Texts == COST Action IS1005 'Medioevo Europeo' Münster (Germany), 3 & 4 October 2014 Comparison and collation are part of the primitives of textual scholarship—as John Unsworth has dubbed the generic and basic tasks of this field. They are tedious, error prone, and subject to unwitting bias, and the quest for formalized ways of guiding these tasks is as old, if not older, than philology itself. The last thirty years have seen the adoption of several digital approaches to textual collation, from heuristics-supported Collate to fully algorithmic Juxta. What is the current state of the art of digital collation? How do we apply it to manuscript texts? Does CollateX turn collation into a solved problem? What are the prospects for multilingual collation? It is these kind of questions that underlie a research summit on collation to be held in Münster on 3 and 4 October 2014. The COST Action IS1005 'Medioevo Europeo' (http://www.medioevoeuropeo.org/) has kindly offered funding to organize this focused research summit on (digital) collation for ancient, medieval manuscript, and early print texts. This summit is kindly hosted by the Institute für Neutestamentliche Textforschung (INTF) of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster ( http://egora.uni-muenster.de/intf/index_en.shtml), representing a wealth of knowledge and experience on the collation of witnesses for the Greek New Testament. This summit will allow the participants to inform themselves about the issues, methods, and tools involved with collating older texts for scholarly purposes. The summit will feature some of the most prominent scholars in this area who will offer an overview of scholarly theory underpinning collation, the history of digital support for this scholarly task, and the praxis of current collation techniques. The summit will also offer a intensive hands-on training in digital collation by researcher/developers that were involved in building CollateX ( http://collatex.net), Juxta (http://www.juxtasoftware.org/), and several other tools for scholarly editing. The second day of the summit features a day long clinic for participants who apply collation in their scholarly research. We offer the possibility for participants to present both theoretical and practical problems and solutions for collating old texts. We invite them to show their work, tools, problems, needs, and results of applied collation in scholarly editing. == HOW TO PARTICIPATE == This unique research summit is open for participation by all scholars and developers involved in the application of (digital) collation of older texts. There are two ways to attend: as a regular attendee or as a presenter of a collation use case during the clinics on the second day of the research summit. We highly encourage participants to present their collation related work during one of the clinics. To do so send a statement of interest and short description of your proposed contribution to the clinic (no more than 300 words) to joris.van.zundert(a)huygens.knaw.nl. Deadline of submission is August 1, 2014. As we seek to encourage the participation of early-stage researchers (PhD students or post-doctoral researchers), a limited number of bursaries are available to cover travel expenses. If you wish to apply for one of these, please submit an additional statement motivating your application (main criteria are importance of this workshop for your current research and absence of other possible funding). Abstracts and applications for bursaries will be evaluated by the scientific committee. Successful candidates will be notified of acceptance on August 15, 2014. Participants will be offered travel reimbursements according to COST rules and limitations (i.e. reimbursement of flight/travel and a 100 Euro lodging and sustenance fee per day of up to a maximum of three days). To register as a regular attendee, please go to: http://collatex.net/researchsummit . Registration closes on September 15, 2014. == PROGRAM (subject to change) == = Day 1, Friday 3 October 2014 = 10.00-10.30 Caroline Macé (KU Leuven) "Collations vs Transcriptions—advantages and shortcomings.

------ Original Message ------ Received: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 06:19:40 AM EDT From: "H-ArtHist (Elsje van Kessel)" <vankessel(a)ARTHIST.NET> To: H-ARTHIST(a)H-NET.MSU.EDU Subject: CFP: Did You Read That? Art Editing on the Web (New York, 11-15 Feb 2015) From: Christopher Howard <chris(a)christopher-howard.net> Date: Jun 26, 2014 Subject: CFP: Did You Read That? Art Editing on the Web (New York, 11-15 Feb 2015) New York, CAA Annual Conference, February 11 - 14, 2015 Deadline: Jul 31, 2014 Sponsored by the Association of Art Editors, the session "Did You Read That? Art Editing on the Web" will explore the current state of art editing on the web. Panelists will discuss the varying levels of work and practices involved in editing texts for publication online, from the mechanical and technical aspects (research, fact checking, making corrections after publishing) to larger conceptual and ethical matters (changing attitudes toward quality). Writers and editors today have access to a wide range of resources—from Google searches and Wikipedia to JSTOR and Oxford Art Online—that were unavailable (and even unimaginable) twenty or thirty years ago. How has the advent of such resources affected the editorial process? This session, whose format will be a roundtable conversation, with the chair serving as an active interviewer rather than a passive moderator, will focus on specific examples and case studies rather than on generalizations and abstractions. Speakers, who may include authors, critics, editors, or publishers, will address personal and academic websites, online versions of printed publications, born-digital journals, and blogs; they may also consider the training of younger writers, critics, historians, and editors. The chair seeks four participants for the session. Speakers are not required to present a paper prepared in advance, although a brief presentation of five to ten minutes can be accommodated. Please send a letter of interest, a CV, and your area(s) of professional interest and expertise to Christopher Howard at chris(a)christopher-howard.net. Deadline: July 31, 2014.

Digital Classicist London & Institute of Classical Studies Seminar 2014 Friday June 27 at 16:30 in room G37, Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU Monica Berti, Greta Franzini & Simona Stoyanova (Leipzig) The Leipzig Open Fragmentary Texts Series and Digital Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum Projects ALL WELCOME The Leipzig Open Fragmentary Texts Series (LOFTS) is a new collaborative project that seeks to create open electronic editions of ancient works that survive only through quotations and text re-uses in later texts. The large diversity and dispersion of these materials entreats a dynamic infrastructure which fully supports and represents the relationships between sources, citations and annotations. LOFTS links fragments to the source text from which they are drawn, and aligns them to multiple editions and translations, thus providing an enhanced understanding of the fragmentary textual heritage it showcases. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

New article in Digital Medievalist
by Malte Rehbein 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Dear all, A new article has been published in Digital Medievalist Journal 9: Tarrin Wills, Semantic linking of the Pre-Christian Religions of the North (http://digitalmedievalist.org/journal/9/wills/). Abstract: The Sources strand of the Pre-Christian Religions of the North project aims to bring together and document the primary evidence for the early religions of Northern Europe. In order to be useful for researchers these sources must include metadata or semantic links that can connect them to concepts relevant to the study of religions. This paper outlines ways in which some very different source types, including textual sources, place-names, pictures and figurines, can be incorporated into a single resource. The aim is to both facilitate analysis and to separate documentary processes from interpretative ones. This structure has been tested using a web interface for both searching and data entry. Some possibilities for representing the visual and spatial data associated with the proposed resource are also demonstrated. Enjoy reading!
