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>

A Columnist
by Larry Swain 12 Aug '18

12 Aug '18

Greetings all, Long time-lurker and member, first email. I think. Anyway, as some of you may know, I am the co-editor of The Heroic Age (www.heroicage.org), online since 1999. Back then we started and tried to shape some of the early digital medieval discussions through a column that originally started as reviews of websites and projects. Daniel O'Donnell came on our editorial board and also became the columnist. Through permutations, personal life difficulties, career changes etc....I dropped off the end of the earth, Daniel is way too busy and have moved on in some way too, and my efforts to use personal connections to find a new DM columnist for this issue have failed. So I'm looking for volunteers: a yearly column of approx 1000-2000 words on issues in Digital Medievalism, state of the field, new projects, shaping the future of DM..... And if not volunteering, likely people who might be interested I could contact? It just seems odd to me that the oldest online journal in our field should not be also, at least a little bit, be talking about Digital Medievalism. Many Thanks for your time and help! Larry Swain

DM at Kalamazoo 2019! CFP for Interdisciplinarity in Digital Medieval Studies
by Ransom, Lynn 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

The DM Executive Board is pleased to announce the CFP for the following Digital Medievalist Sponsored Session at the 54th International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, May 9-12, 2019: Interdisciplinarity in Digital Medieval Studies Digital methodologies and tools are commonly used among medievalists working in a variety of disciplines; less common, however, is the application of these methodologies and tools to cross-disciplinary scholarship. This session will consider 1) the role that digital projects play in reaching across disciplinary boundaries in medieval studies, 2) best practices for cross-disciplinary digital and computational research, and 3) examples of the success and failure of such research. For example, proposals may consider the use of stylometrics in historical source criticism, the use of social network analysis in literary studies, or probe manuscript datasets for evidence in support of liturgical, literary, historical, and art historical research. Our goal is to demonstrate how the development and application of digital tools, methods, and formats can enable and facilitate the interdisciplinary and collaborative research of experts and specialists across their respective subdisciplines in order to produce, provide, and openly share better insights and new knowledge with scholars and the wider public alike. Please send abstracts (ca. 250 words) and the ICMS Participant Information Form* to Lynn Ransom at lransom(a)upenn.edu<mailto:lransom@upenn.edu>. Deadline is September 15, 2018. *The ICMS Participant Information form will be available here in July: http://www.wmich.edu/medievalcongress/submissions. ****************** Lynn Ransom, Ph.D. Curator of Programs, Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies schoenberginstitute.org Project Director, The New Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts https://sdbm.library.upenn.edu/ Co-Editor, Manuscript Studies: A Journal of the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies mss.pennpress.org The University of Pennsylvania Libraries 3420 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104-6206 215.898.7851

Conference on Digital Pedagogy, 27-28 September
by Orietta Da Rold 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Dear Colleagues, Registration is now open for ‘Building sustainable digital pedagogy’ to be held in Cambridge 27-28 of September. The conference aims to consider the close inter-relationship between teaching, scholarship, and research at Cambridge. This special environment naturally cultivates a rich variety of digital resources, technologies and tools that are increasingly the result of collaboration. But does this collaboration extend to the teaching environment to benefit learners and teachers alike? How can the enthusiasm and inspiration used to build these tools and resources benefit the pursuit of education and learning? What emerging technologies might lead to a focused, efficient, interdisciplinary approach to make a difference to the broadest spectrum of researchers and students? Ubiquitous in the digital age, images have become an essential tool in research and pedagogical environments. We’ve come a long way from the carousel of slides in a projector, and technological change continues to accelerate year on year. But images are only one part of the picture. Hidden in the shadow of high quality images, there is invaluable work in the creation, management and use of data about objects, facilitating new means of discovery and opening the door to new methods of analysis. Please see conference webs its for further details. http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/27892 <http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/27892> Please circulate with anyone who may be interested. With best wishes, Orietta *********************************** Dr Orietta Da Rold Faculty of English 9 West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9DP 01223 335089 Fellow of St John´s College Cambridge, CB2 1TP 01223 768181 od245(a)cam.ac.uk webpage: http://www.english.cam.ac.uk/people/Orietta.Da_Rold/
