RIDE Tools - Call for reviews
by Elena Spadini 23 Apr '21

23 Apr '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. *Apologies for cross posting* Dear digital medievalists, The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) is calling for reviews for a special issue of the journal RIDE<https://ride.i-d-e.de/>, dedicated to Tools and Environments for Digital Scholarly Editing (DSE). The first issue<https://ride.i-d-e.de/issues/issue-11/> of RIDE dedicated to Tools and Environments was published in January 2020. Reviews for the second issue will be accepted until the 30st of September 2021. To guide reviewers through the review process and to create a structure for the evaluation, we provide Criteria for Reviewing Digital Tools and Environments for DSE that are supposed to be applicable to various types of resources. The guidelines (Version 1.0) can be found here<https://www.i-d-e.de/publikationen/weitereschriften/criteria-tools-version-…>. We kindly ask you to email us before start reviewing a tool at ride-tools (at) i-d-e.de<http://i-d-e.de/> with a suggestion of which resource you would like to review and with a short explanation of your affiliation and area of expertise. This is important in order to avoid multiple reviews of the same tool. Background In the introduction to his book Software takes command (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2013) Lev Manovich states that “software has become our interface to the world, to others, to our memory and our imagination”. Is the same happening in the world of digital scholarly editing? Certainly we cannot ignore their fundamental role in our daily scholarly practices and in the interactions with our objects of study. Insofar as tools shape scholarly editions, they also shape scholarly editing. A new RIDE issue is devoted to tools for digital scholarly editing. The aim of this issue is to: * contribute to the discussion about tooling in Digital Humanities, * bring to the forefront the instruments instead of the final products, * provide a venue for discussing best practices in the development and usage of tools, * list useful resources for all those involved in scholarly editing. Beyond that, we hope that the critical examination of digital tools draws greater attention to the (scholarly) achievements that their creation and maintenance imply. The journal RIDE was founded in 2014 to “provide a forum in which expert peers criticise and discuss the efforts of digital editors in order to improve current practices and advance future developments” (RIDE Editorial). RIDE is Open Access, reviews are published as HTML and downloadable as TEI. All reviews will be peer reviewed in order to reach a high quality level of the evaluations. The special issue on Digital Tools and Environments for DSE will be edited by Anna-Maria Sichani (University of Sussex) and Elena Spadini (University of Lausanne). Submission details Reviews are accepted in English, French, Italian, and Spanish. The length of the review can vary depending on how much the resource offers that is worthy of discussion (approximately 2000-5000 words). Please submit your review at ride-tools (at) i-d-e.de<http://i-d-e.de/> as an editable text file (preferably, but not necessarily docx to facilitate the conversion to TEI). Please send illustrations as separate image files (jpg or png) and leave a note in the text as a placeholder for each image. In addition to the text, we collect keywords. Each review should be accompanied by a short abstract in English, independently of the language used in the main text. For further information please check the general RIDE guidelines for writing and submitting<http://ride.i-d-e.de/reviewers/writing-and-submitting/>. The questionnaire mentioned in the submission checklist has been designed for scholarly digital editions so far. We will keep you informed about how to proceed with the questionnaire for this special issue. All reviews will be peer reviewed in order to reach a high quality level of the evaluations. We believe that this is important because the evaluation of digital scholarly resources usually requires a double expertise in digital methods as well as in individual disciplines. This is also to increase the credit for reviews.

Digital Medievalist Virtual Global Conference_Registration open!

22 Apr '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. The Digital Medievalist Executive Board and Postgraduate Subcommittee are delighted to announce our first virtual symposium: The Past, Present, and Future of Digital Medieval Studies: A Global Digital Medievalist Symposium To be held 24 May, 11 June, and 21 June, 2021, The era of COVID-19 has been transformational for medieval digital humanities. Medievalists have come to learn the limits and possibilities of online scholarship, whether in the virtual classroom or in the transfer of knowledge among specialists. Although direct access to material sources and the easy face-to-face exchanges with colleagues are deeply missed, we have come to understand that digitally-inflected scholarship can be more economical, more global, and -in limited ways- more equitable for many medievalists. And because we have come to this inflection point, members of the Digital Medievalist Board are launching a conference series that marks this turn and aims to build upon what we have learned. Our theme, The Past, Present and Future of Medieval Digital Humanities is both retrospective and prospective in scope, bringing digital medievalist practitioners into conversation with each other as we step into a new scholarly environment where digital methods take on a new importance. Our new global awareness has inspired us to plan three conference dates, each of which is aligned with a geographic space and accommodates scholars from three time zones grouped as The Americas, Asia & Oceania, and Europe & Africa. The Americas conversation will take place on Monday, 24 May 2021, Asia & Oceania on Friday, 11 June, and Africa & Europe on Monday, 21 June. For more information about, including schedules, and to register for each conference, go to https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/the-past-present-and-future-of-dig… We look forward to seeing you at all three events!

SIMS Virtual Lecture Series_VisColl 2.0 THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 23
by Ransom, Lynn 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Happening this week! All are invited to attend: The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies is pleased to announce the next installment of the SIMS Virtual Lecture Series: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations: Symbolizing the Elements That Create Manuscripts and Their Structural History with VisColl 2.0 Presented by Alberto Campagnolo, University of Udine Dot Porter, Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies, Penn Libraries Friday, April 23, 2021, 1:00 -2:15pm (via Zoom) The ultimate working unit of the codex is the gathering structure known as the quire, a group of folded (or single) leaves bound together with other quires to form the text block. This structure, characterized by a limited number of elements and variations in their spatial arrangement, is fundamental to the study of the codex format for manuscript books. Traditionally, gathering structures are described in highly formalized alphanumerical formulaic representations, referred to as collation formulas. It is customary to include these formulas in paper-based and online catalogues. For what concerns manuscript studies, however, there are no actual standards, and different catalogues and scholars use their own set of rules and practices, making broader analysis difficult. In addition, the information density of collation formulas hinders the immediacy of their interpretation. In this lecture, creators Dot Porter, SIMS founding member and Curator of Digital Research Services, and Alberto Campagnolo, book conservator and adjunct professor at the University of Udine, will present a new version of the online collation modeler VisColl to address these challenges. VisColl 2.0, with its new interface VCEditor, has been updated to model complex structures, with quires, subquires, and a variety of attachment methods, also through an intuitive graphic interface that guides the user and permits data input without knowledge of the XML data model behind it. This event is free and open to the public. To receive the zoom link, click on this link to registration<https://libcal.library.upenn.edu/calendar/kislak/viscoll>.

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear Digital Medievalists, As we move into conference season, please remember that the Digital Medievalist Webinar Repository <https://zenodo.org/communities/dmwr/?page=1&size=20> (DMWR) is a great place to host your videos and other digital medievalist materials so that others can find and cite your work well after the conference is over. Cataloguing a recording is a simple affair, and once the materials are gathered, it should take no longer than 10 minutes. Each contribution requires three things: 1. An MP4 file of the recording; 2. A transcript of the presentation in pdf format (automatically generated in youtube, for example); 3. All standard bibliographic information to generate the citation and tag the recording. Once accepted to the DMWR, the retrieval and citation of your work is facilitated by the generation of a DOI and standard citation of the recorded presentation. Feel free to contact me with any questions, and keep those submissions coming! Laura Morreale Board Member, Digital Medievalist --

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear DM community, I am glad to inform you that the Innovating Knowledge project from Amsterdam is launching a beta version of its manuscript database today. The database collects information on all surviving and identified early medieval manuscripts transmitting the text of the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville. If you wonder how many manuscripts are we talking about, the Isidore number is 461 at the moment (and counting!). You can enter the database and learn more about the project at: innovatingknowledge.nl<http://innovatingknowledge.nl/>. Since the database is just a beta version and the project is still running for a few months, the project team would appreciate your feedback, which you can also provide through the Innovating Knowledge website. Any suggestions of new manuscripts to be included, or of corrections of and additions to manuscript records are also be appreciated. With kind regards, Evina Steinova https://homomodernus.net/ https://evinasteinova.academia.edu/ Postdoctoral Researcher NWO VENI project Innovating Knowledge<http://innovatingknowledge.nl> Huygens ING, Dutch Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, Amsterdam
