Symposium on Cultural Heritage Markup
by Hugh Cayless 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Dear all, I'm going to be chairing the symposium announced below and would love it if we could turn it into a really good, deep discussion of what we've done right, what we're doing wrong, and how cultural heritage markup (or its equivalents) can be made better in the future. Heretics and True Believers welcome! --Hugh Cultural Heritage Markup: Using Markup to preserve, understand, and disseminate cultural heritage materials a Balisage pre-conference symposium Monday August 10, 2015 Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, Bethesda, MD, USA Markup and markup technologies are used in a wide variety of cultural heritage projects by linguists, students of literature, librarians, historians, curators, and others. Markup is used behind the scenes in archives, libraries, and museums to create and store metadata and the textual content of a wide variety of materials both textual and artefactual. We want to know how you or your project are using markup to preserve, analyze, disseminate, or curate materials of long-term value to society. Balisage is an excellent venue to discuss both theoretical and practical questions. Is cultural heritage markup essentially different from industrial markup? Is it inherently more heterogeneous, more complex? Are “industrial” tools like XML and HTML really appropriate for cultural heritage materials? How well will standards like TEI and EAD serve us as technology progresses? We dedicate this day to discussion of the challenges and possibilities of markup technologies used in the preservation of our cultural heritage and its transmission to future generations. We welcome proposals to present at the Symposium. Topics may include, but are not limited to: • Representing heterogeneous materials • Data modeling to support scholarly research • Building for the long term, even after the money has run out • Using/repurposing tools that weren’t designed for the kind of thing you’re doing • Is XML really appropriate for representing texts of scholarly interest? • Is XML really appropriate for representing metatdata about non-textual artefacts? • What does it mean for cultural heritage texts to be interoperable? Is it desirable? Is it possible? • Shared tag sets. Do shared markup vocabularies (e.g., TEI, EAD, LIDO, CDWA) do more harm than good? Full papers should be submitted by 17 April 2015. All papers are peer-reviewed — we pride ourselves that you will seldom get a more thorough, skeptical, or helpful review than the one provided by Balisage reviewers. Key dates: - 27 March 2015 — Peer review applications due - 17 April 2015 — Paper submissions due - 17 April 2015 — Applications for student support awards due - 22 May 2015 — Speakers notified - 17 July 2015 — Final papers due - 10 August 2015 — Symposium on Cultural Heritage Markup - 11–14 August 2015 — Balisage: The Markup Conference For more information: info(a)balisage.net or +1 301 315 9631 Balisage: The Markup Conference There is Nothing As Practical As A Good Theory ====================================================================== Balisage: The Markup Conference 2014 mailto:info@balisage.net August 5-8, 2014 http://www.balisage.net Preconference Symposium: August 4, 2014 +1 301 315 9631 ====================================================================== --~---------------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed as philomousos(a)gmail.com EasyUnsubscribe or manage your settings http://lists.mulberrytech.com/do/unsub/markupconference-announce/471805/1gx… or EasyUnsubscribe by email markupconference-announce-cunsub-1gxvt07wwd-471805-100-bl2351(a)lists.mulberrytech.com --~--

Digital Classicist London 2015 call for papers
by Simon Mahony 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

The Digital Classicist London seminars provide a forum for research into the ancient world that employs innovative digital and interdisciplinary methods. The seminars are held on Friday afternoons from June to mid-August in the Institute of Classical Studies, Senate House, London, WC1E 7HU. We are seeking contributions from students as well as established researchers and practitioners. We welcome papers discussing individual projects and their immediate contexts, but also wish to accommodate the broader theoretical considerations of the use of digital methods in the study of the ancient world, including ancient cultures beyond the classical Mediterranean. You should expect a mixed audience of classicists, philologists, historians, archaeologists, information scientists and digital humanists, and take particular care to cater for the presence of graduate students in the audience. There is a budget to assist with travel to London (usually from within the UK, but we have occasionally been able to assist international presenters to attend). To submit a proposal for consideration, email an abstract of no more than 500 words to s.mahony(a)ucl.ac.uk <mailto:s.mahony@ucl.ac.uk> by midnight GMT on March 8th, 2015. Further information and details of past seminars, including several peer-reviewed publications, are available at: http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/ <http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/index.html> Regards Simon Mahony
