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 --~--

comparisons of different e-MS readers?
by Sara L. Uckelman 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Yesterday I attended a planning meaning concerning the Durham priory library's manuscript collection, which is planned for digitisation over the next 5-10 years. A question came up about whether there's been any study done on the relative *technical* merits of different platforms/programmes for viewing manuscripts, either online or downloaded locally. (The person was specifically interested in reviews or comparisons done by people with the relevant computational know- how). I confess to not being very familiar with this terrain; I've used Uni-HD's reader online (see, e.g., the Manesse codex: http://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/cpg848/0001?sid=c1e158af8bb04a02441…) and the reader used by, e.g., http://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/0000/bsb00001649/images/, but I don't even know what the programmes behind these sites are! The one that was demonstrated to us is Mirador: http://www.biblissima-condorcet.fr/en/news/interoperable-viewer-prototype-n…, http://iiif.io/, and it was really cool. I'd love to know how it stacks up against the competition. Cheers, -Sara -- Dr. Sara L.

CFP --Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies -- St Louis, June 15-17
by jmcewan3＠yahoo.ca 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

Dear list-members, The Center for Digital Humanities at Saint Louis University is looking for speakers for a session that will be held as part of the 2015 Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies (http://smrs.slu.edu/index.html) Session title and description: 'Seeing the past through digital eyes: new approaches to visualizing medieval texts and artifacts' What do we gain when our experience of a medieval text or artifact is through a digital object rather than the original? The answer will depend on what tools were used to create, find, and view the digital object. Today medievalists can access online a wealth of photographs of manuscripts and artifacts, and many repositories even allow researchers to use personal cameras to create their own photographs. The result has been a proliferation of visual material that enhance access, but which also raise new challenges and present novel opportunities for researchers. This session will bring together medievalists who use digital facsimiles and surrogates as part of their research to consider how the tools they use to capture, manipulate, sort and present them impact the character of their scholarship. These tools can help scholars espousing long established methodologies, but they may also enable them to pose new questions and extend the scholarship in previously impractical directions. If you would be interested in participating, please send a proposed paper title and abstract by February 21. Apologies for the very near deadline... best wishes, John McEwan mcewanja(a)slu.edu Dr John McEwan Center for Digital Humanities Pius XII Memorial Library, 324 AB Tower Saint Louis University 3650 Lindell Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63108
