CfP - Workshop on Scholarly Digital Editions, Graph Data-Models and Semantic Web Technologies
by Elena Spadini 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

Dear List members, we hope this Workshop will be of interest for some of you. Best wishes, Elena Spadini and Francesca Tomasi apologies for cross posting -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Workshop on Scholarly Digital Editions, Graph Data-Models and Semantic Web Technologies* Université de Lausanne, 3-4 June 2019 <http://wp.unil.ch/graphsde/> *Call for Papers* Digital texts processed by machines are linear strings of characters, but in most research activities in the Humanities (philology, linguistics, corpus-based analysis, cultural heritage, etc.) we store them in *databases* and we add *markup* to the text, that is a kind of intelligence made computable thanks to the use of widespread data-models, formats and standards. In the last decades, the popularity of *graph* data-models has increased, in accordance with the *semantic web* proposition and the development of standards such as RDF and OWL. Graph databases, in the form of triple stores (such as Graph-DB) or of labeled-property-graphs (Neo4j), are regarded as powerful and flexible solutions by research and cultural institutions, and private companies alike. The workshop is held to explore possible interactions between *digital texts*, the *graph* data-model, *scholarly editions* and the *semantic web*. The combinations of these objects/concepts, pursued in the last decades, remains experimental to date, and it represents one of the possible development for the field of *digital scholarly editing*. Contributions on one or more of the following topics are particularly welcome: - the conceptualization of *text as graph*; - the use of *graph-databases* for digital editions; - the* semantic web resources* for building digital scholarly editions; - the *interoperability* among digital texts through Linked Data Vocabularies; - the *integration* of graph flavoured data into xml documents. We welcome contributions from those involved in the development of *tailor-made solutions* for small scale projects as well as of large-scale *infrastructure*, focused on the *theory* and/or on the *practice* of this happy or unhappy combination. The workshop includes *presentations* and a *working group* session. Please note that the word 'workshop' means here a place for sharing ongoing research and not a hands-on training. *Invited speakers* - Ronald Haentjens Dekker (Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences – Humanities Cluster) - Samuel Müller (University of Basel - National Infrustructure for Editions) - Michele Pasin (Springer Nature) - Tobias Schweizer, Sepideh Alassi (University of Basel – Digital Humanities Lab) - Georg Vogeler (University of Graz) *Scientific committee* - Gioele Barabucci (University of Cologne) - Fabio Ciotti (University of Rome Tor Vergata) - Claire Clivaz (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) - DASCH (University of Lausanne) - Simon Gabay (University of Neuchâtel) - Frederike Neuber (Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanties) - Elena Pierazzo (University of Grenoble-Alpes) - Michael Piotrowski (University of Lausanne) - Matteo Romanello (EPFL) - Elena Spadini (University of Lausanne) - Francesca Tomasi (University of Bologna) - Aris Xanthos (University of Lausanne) *Important dates* *9 December 2018*. Deadline for the submission of abstracts *14 January 2018*. Notification of acceptance *15 April 2019*. Camera-ready version of the papers *3-4 June 2019*. Workshop *Where* Université de Lausanne – 1015 Lausanne – Switzerland *Language* The language of the workshop will be English. *Abstract submission* We invite researchers to submit abstracts for a 30 mins contribution (20 mins + 10 mins Q&A) by December 9, 2018. Abstracts will be reviewed double-blind by the members of the scientific committee, and all submissions will receive several independent reviews. Instructions for formatting and submitting abstracts will be published in September 2018. *Camera-ready paper submission* Notifications of acceptance will be sent by January 14, 2019. The authors of accepted abstracts should send a camera-ready version of their paper by April 15, 2019. The papers will be made available on the workshop platform. Before the workshop, the papers will be paired and a discussant will be assigned to each participant. The discussant must prepare two questions, that the corresponding author will receive twenty days before the workshop and should address in her/his presentation. Instructions for formatting and submitting camera-ready papers will follow. *Proceedings publication* The authors of accepted contributions will be invited to submit a revised paper after the conference, to be published in an open-access, electronic conference volume endowed with persistent identifiers. *Organization committee* - Elena Spadini (Université de Lausanne, CRLR) - Francesca Tomasi (Università di Bologna) *With the support of* - Centre de recherche sur les lettres romandes <http://www.unil.ch/crlr/home.html> (CRLR), Université de Lausanne *In collaboration with* - Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge <https://corsi.unibo.it/2cycle/DigitalHumanitiesKnowledge> (DHDK), University of Bologna - Section des sciences du langage et de l’information <https://www.unil.ch/sli/fr/home.html> (SLI), Université de Lausanne - Lausanne Laboratory for Computational and Statistical Text Analysis <http://unil.ch/llist/en/> (LLIST) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- elenaspadini.com elena.spadini(a)unil.ch PostDoc - UNIL Centre de recherches sur les lettres romandes <http://www.unil.ch/crlr>

24 Jul '18

The Medieval Academy of America is inaugurating a new travel program this fall, similar to those that universities often run for their communities of lifelong learners. Participants in this October 23-28 trip will join me in England to visit two once-in-a-lifetime exhibitions: "Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms" at the British Library and "Tolkien: Maker of Middle Earth" at Oxford's Bodleian Library, with curatorial introductions and expert guides. *These exhibitions overlap for only one week, making this trip a unique opportunity for visitors to see them together.* For more information, please see the brochure here: https://www.medievalacademy.org/resource/resmgr/pdfs/MAA_Trip_to_England.pdf Proceeds benefit Medieval Academy of America programs in support of student, adjunct, unaffiliated, and junior scholars. Please feel free to forward this link to anyone you know who might be interested, whether or not they are academics. Travelers do not need to be Medieval Academy members to participate. *The trip is limited to twenty travelers, so interested participants should register as soon as possible and no later than August 23!* - Lisa -- Lisa Fagin Davis Executive Director Medieval Academy of America 17 Dunster St., Suite 202 Cambridge, Mass. 02138 Phone: 617 491-1622 Fax: 617 492-3303 Email: LFD(a)TheMedievalAcademy.org

Backoff Lemmatization for Ancient Greek with the Classical Language Toolkit (seminar)
by Gabriel Bodard 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Institute of Classical Studies Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU Friday July 27, 2018 at 16:30 in room 234 *Patrick J. Burns (New York University) *Backoff Lemmatization for Ancient Greek with the Classical Language Toolkit Automated lemmatization, or retrieval of dictionary headwords, is an active area of research in historical-language text analysis. In this talk, I describe the development of the Backoff Lemmatizer for Ancient Greek with the Classical Language Toolkit (CLTK), an open-source Python platform dedicated to developing natural language processing tools for historical languages. The Backoff Lemmatizer seeks to improve on existing tools by combining training-data-based and rules-based tagging as a lemmatization strategy. By way of conclusion, I discuss a current CLTK development strategy, namely the use of object-oriented architecture as an avenue to digital comparative philology.

Accessibility and archives
by R.Pope 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

Dear All, I was wondering if anyone had any examples of archives/libraries that were at the forefront of providing accessible alternative formats for visual content? Or of any literature on this? I have a student with partial sight who is trying to get our library to digitise and provide alternative text for 19thc cartoon images, but the archive is concerned about conveying the image as text / raising concerns about the subjectivity of catalogue descriptions. I know that we medievists are often great at this kind of thing so thought I'd ask the community. All best wishes, Rebecca Rebecca Pope Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies University of Kent, Canterbury rp366(a)kent.ac.uk
