Seminar: Linked Data and Ancient World Research: studying past projects from a user perspective
by Vitale, Valeria 31 May '17

31 May '17

Institute of Classical Studies Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU Friday June 2, 2017 at 16:30 in room 234 *Sarah Middle (Open University)* Linked Data and Ancient World Research: studying past projects from a user perspective Linked Data connects digital objects based on common features, and has the potential to transform Ancient World research; however, this approach is still not widely used, and my research explores why this might be the case. This paper explains how I converted publicly-available data on AHRC-funded projects to Linked Data, facilitating detailed queries to identify potential case studies. I will discuss several of these (Pelagios 4, SNAP:DRGN, and STAR, STELLAR and SENESCHAL) from a user perspective, as well as evaluating the usability of the linked AHRC data. Additionally, I will present my initial findings and their potential implications for future projects. digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2017-01sm.html ALL WELCOME Valeria Vitale Institute of Classical Studies, Research Fellow Senate House, Malet Street London WC1E 7HU Pelagios Commons Community Manager commons.pelagios.org<http://commons.pelagios.org/>

by Ransom, Lynn 30 May '17

30 May '17

**Call for Nominations to DM Board 2017-2019** Digital Medievalist will be holding elections at the end of June 2017 for four positions to its Executive Board. Board positions are for 2-year terms and incumbents may be re-elected (for a maximum of three terms in a row). Members of the Board are responsible for the overall direction of the organisation and leading the Digital Medievalist’s many projects and programmes. This is a working board, and so it would be expected that you are willing and able to commit time to helping Digital Medievalist undertake some of its activities, like editing the journal, organising conference sessions, administering website, facebook group and news feeds, or maintaining a technical infrastructure - and there is room for any initiative you would like to take to foster the communication on digital methods in medieval studies. For further information about the Executive and Digital Medievalist more generally please see the DM website, particularly: https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/ https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/board-roles/ https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/election-procedures/ https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/bylaws/ We are now seeking nominations (including self-nominations) for the annual elections. In order to be eligible for election, candidates must be members of Digital Medievalist (membership is conferred simply by subscription to the organisation’s mailing list, dm-l) and have made some demonstrable contribution either to the DM project (e.g. to the mailing list, or the wiki, etc.), or generally to the field of digital medieval studies. If you are interested in running for these positions or are able to recommend a suitable candidate, please contact the returning officers, Dominique Stutzmann (dominique.stutzmann [at] irht.cnrs.fr) and Lynn Ransom (lransom [at] upenn.edu), who will treat your nomination or enquiries in confidence. The nomination period will close at 23:59 UTC on Thursday, 15 June. Elections will be held by electronic ballot from Thursday, 22 June 2016, closing at 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, 7 July 2016. Best wishes, Dominique Stutzmann and Lynn Ransom

DeriMo2017: **DEADLINE EXTENDED**
by Eleonora Litta Modignani Picozzi 30 May '17

30 May '17

** EXTENDED DEADLINE: 25 June 2017 ** ---- First International Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology (DeriMo2017) ---- CALL FOR PAPERS The First International Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology (DeriMo2017) will be held in Milan (Italy) on 5 and 6 October 2017, at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (http://derimo2017.marginalia.it/). DeriMo2017 concludes the Word Formation Latin (WFL) project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 658332-WFL. The project is based at the Centro Interdisciplinare di Ricerche per la Computerizzazione dei Segni dell’Espressione (CIRCSE: http://centridiricerca.unicatt.it/circse-home?rdeLocaleAttr=en), at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan, Italy. Submissions are invited for presentations featuring high quality and previously unpublished research on the topics described below. Contributions should focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. Proceedings will be published, open-access, in time for the workshop. MOTIVATION AND AIMS Until very recently, in the areas of Language Resources and Natural Language Processing (NLP), derivational morphology has always been neglected if compared to inflectional morphology. Yet the recent rise of lexical resources for derivational morphology have demonstrated that enhancing textual data with derivational morphology tagging can lead to strong outcomes. First, it organises the lexicon at higher level than words, by building word formation based sets of lexical items sharing a common derivational ancestor. Secondly, derivational morphology acts like a kind of interface between morphology and semantics, since core semantic properties are shared at different extent by words built by a common word formation process. In the lively area of research aimed at building computational resources and tools for ancient languages, the WFL project fills a gap in the variety of those available for Latin, connecting lexical items on the basis of word formation rules. For a work-in-progress version of the resource, please visit http://wfl.marginalia.it. This workshop wants to be both an opportunity for the presentation of WFL to the wider community, and a place where confrontation with other scholars engaged in the treatment of derivational morphology for different languages (either modern or ancient) can arise, and potentials for the cross-linguistic sharing of techniques and methods can be discussed. TOPICS The Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology aims at covering a wide range of topics. In particular, the topics to be addressed in the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following: - resources for derivational morphology - connecting the derivational morphology level of annotation in language resources with other levels of linguistic analysis (e.g. semantic, syntactic…) - (NLP) tools for the semi-automatic creation of resources for derivational morphology - (NLP) tools including components of derivational morphology - empirically based comparative and multilingual studies on derivational morphology - empirically based diachronic studies on derivational morphology - query tools for derivational morphology resources - theoretical issues in derivational morphology. INVITED SPEAKER: Pius ten Hacken (University of Innsbruck, Austria) IMPORTANT DATES Deadlines: always midnight, UTC ('Coordinated Universal Time'), ignoring DST ('Daylight Saving Time'): - Deadline for paper submission: 25 June 2017 - Notification of acceptance: 24 July 2017 - Final, camera-ready, version of paper: 10 September 2017 - Workshop: 5-6 October 2017 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION We invite to submit long abstracts describing original, unpublished research related to the topics of the workshop. Abstracts should not exceed 6 pages (references included). The language of the workshop is English. All abstracts must be submitted in well-checked English. Abstracts should be submitted in PDF format only. Submissions have to be made via the EasyChair page of the workshop at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=derimo2017. Please, first register at EasyChair if you do not have an EasyChair account. The style guidelines to follow for the paper can be found here: http://derimo2017.marginalia.it/index.php/CfP/authors-kit. Please, note that as reviewing will be double-blind, the abstract should not include the authors' names and affiliations or any references to web-sites, project names etc. revealing the authors' identity.
