Seminar: Pelagios and Recogito: an annotation platform for joining a linked data world
by Simon Mahony 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Digital Classicist London & Institute of Classical Studies Seminar 2015 *Friday June 12th at 16:30 in room 348, Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU** ** **Leif Isaksen, Pau de Soto (Southampton), Elton Barker (Open University) and Rainer Simon (Vienna)** **'Pelagios and Recogito: an annotation platform for joining a linked data world'* One of the primary obstacles to conducting geospatial analysis of relevant documents (both maps and texts) is identifying the places to which they refer. Recogito is a user-friendly Web-based tool developed to enable: first the “geotagging” of place names either on maps or in digital texts; then the “georesolving” of those places to an appropriate gazetteer. Not only does this step provide geographical coordinates; by mapping to an authority file (a gazetteer), the documents are also connected to the Pelagios linked data network. All metadata are free and downloadable to the public as CSV files or maps. Full abstract is available at <http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2015-02li.html> *ALL WELCOME* The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments. The full 2015 programme is at <http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2015.html> -- ------------------------------------------- Student Support Manager Department of War Studies War Studies Online Room K7.05, 7th Floor, King's Building King's College London WC2R 2LS http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/departments/warstudies/study/wsonline

Digital Classicist London & Institute of Classical Studies Seminar 2015 *Friday June 5 at 16:30 in room G21A, Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU Jen Hicks (UCL) ‘From lost archives to digital databases’ * Of the leather documents used by the administration and individuals of the Seleukid empire (ca 312- 63 BC), all that remains are the small pieces of clay that were used to seal them; these however survive in their tens of thousands in Mesopotamia and the Levant. In this paper I will consider the potential and limitations of using these lumps of mud, through the construction of digital databases and statistical analysis, to reconstruct these lost archives, and to understand the imperial structures of the Seleukid power. Full abstract is available at <http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2015-01jh.html> <http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2015-01jh.html> The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

29 May '15

Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures Call for Submissions, 2016 and 2017 Open Issues _Digital Philology_ is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of medieval vernacular texts and cultures. Founded by Stephen G. Nichols and Nadia R. Altschul, _Digital Philology_ aims to foster scholarship that crosses disciplines upsetting traditional fields of study, national boundaries and periodizations. _Digital Philology_ also encourages both applied and theoretical research that engages with the digital humanities and shows why and how digital resources require new questions, new approaches, and yield radical results. The Johns Hopkins University Press publishes two journal issues per year. One is open to all submissions, while the other is guest-edited, and revolves around a thematic axis. Articles must be written in English, follow the latest edition of the MLA style manual, and be about 8,000 words in length, including abstract, footnotes, and list of works cited. Quotations in the main text in languages other than English should appear along with their English translation. _Digital Philology_ is welcoming submissions for its 2016 and 2017 open issues. Inquiries and submissions (as a Word document attachment) should be sent to dph(a)jhu.edu, addressed to the Managing Editor (Albert Lloret). Digital Philology also publishes manuscript studies and reviews of books and digital projects. Correspondence regarding manuscript studies may be addressed to Jeanette Patterson at jpatterson09(a)gmail.com. Correspondence regarding digital projects and publications for review may be addressed to Timothy Stinson at tlstinson(a)gmail.com.

3rd International Workshop on (Document) Changes: Modeling, Detection, Storage and Visualization http://diff.cs.unibo.it/dchanges2015/ Part of 15th ACM SIGWEB International Symposium on Document Engineering Lausanne, Switzerland, September 8th, 2015 CALL FOR PAPERS =============== DChanges 2015 is the third edition of the International Workshop on (Document) Changes: Modeling, Detection, Storage and Visualization in conjunction with the 15th ACM SIGWEB International Symposium on Document Engineering. This year, the workshop will be held in Lausanne (Switzerland) in September 2015. The focus of the workshop is the study of changes in all its aspects and applications: algorithms to detect changes, models to describe differences, techniques to track changes, versioning of human-readable as well as computer-oriented files, tools to detect meaningful changes among a myriad of modifications. We want to look at these topics from different perspectives, and take on different approaches. The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. It is a unique occasion to discuss these issues in an informal setting and to foster collaboration. The previous editions emphasised a strong need for novel algorithms and interfaces to better understand and exploit detected changes. Several issues were pointed out as still unsolved: interfaces do not scale when dealing with many changes, changes at different levels of abstraction are often not sufficiently taken into account, detection and visualization are often inter-mixed, logs are often detailed but underexploited, and versioning techniques are not very well suited for non-technical people. Besides contributions on these topics, we also seek contributions on, but not necessarily limited to: * Diffing and change tracking algorithms * Change modeling and representation * High-level differences * Detecting changes on complex data structures * Detecting changes on trees, graphs, diagrams and any kind of document * Novel approaches to tree-based diff * Edit-distance measures * Quality of deltas and patches * Editing patterns * Semantic diff * Merging * Management of update conflicts * N-way merge algorithms * Propagation of changes * Versioning systems * Versioning * Collaborative editing * Real-time collaborative editing * Distributed collaboration * Use in digital humanities * Collation * Text genetics * Stemmatology * Plagiarism detection * Applications of diff techniques from and to other domains * Software engineering, law, medicine etc. * Document and schema refactoring Contributions from related areas are also well accepted. Program -------- The workshop will run a full day, divided in two parts to emphasize both theoretical/algorithmic aspects and practical applications. Ample space will be given to peer discussions and brainstorming about the results of the presentations and the ideas brought forth by participants. A detailed schedule will be announced in August. Proceedings ----------- We plan to publish our proceedings via ACM ICPS, as we did last year. Further details on the publication venue for the proceedings will be available soon. Important Dates --------------- * Abstracts are due: June 28th, 2015 * Papers and notes are due: July 3rd, 2015 * Acceptance notice: July 31st, 2015 * Camera ready: August 24th, 2015 Paper submission ---------------- Two types of submissions are possible: * Application/demo notes: 2-4 pages long, showcasing systems or tools * Research papers: 4-8 pages long, describing original and unpublished research All papers must conform to the ACM SIG Proceedings format: <https://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.htm…>. Papers must be submitted to the EasyChair site <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dchanges2015>. All submissions will undergo a rigorous single blind review process.

First textual communities workshop
by Robinson, Peter 23 May '15

23 May '15

Textual Communities Workshop, KU Leuven 11 and 12 June 2015 Museumzaal (MSI 02.08, Erasmusplein 2, 3000 Leuven) This workshop will serve three overlapping purposes. First, it will introduce the Textual Communities system for creating scholarly editions in digital form. Textual Communities allows scholars and scholarly groups to make highest-quality editions in digital form, with minimal specialist computing knowledge and support. It is particularly suited to the making of editions which do not fit the pattern of “digital documentary editions”: that is, editions of works in many manuscripts or versions, or editions of non-authorial manuscripts. Accordingly, Textual Communities includes tools for handling images, page-by-page transcription, collation of multiple versions, project management, and more. See the draft article describing Textual Communities athttps://www.academia.edu/12297061/Some_principles_for_the_making_of_colla…. Second, it will offer training to transcribers joining the Canterbury Tales project, and to scholars leading transcription teams within the project. The project is undertaking the transcription of all 30,000 pages of the 88 pre-1500 witnesses of the Tales (18000 pages already transcribed but requiring checking; 12000 needing new transcription). Participants will be given accounts within the Textual Communities implementation of the Canterbury Tales project, introduced to the transcription system, and undertake their first transcriptions of pages from the Tales. See http://www.textualcommunities.usask.ca/web/canterbury-tales/wiki/-/wiki/Mai…. Third, it will offer an introduction to the principles of manuscript transcription for digital editions to any scholars or students considering undertaking a digital edition project based on a manuscript. The materials of the Canterbury Tales project will be used as a starting point for discussion of transcription, supplemented by reference to other textual traditions on which the workshop leaders have worked (including Dante, medieval Spanish and New Testament Greek). This workshop will be useful to scholars undertaking a wide range of digital edition projects, especially of works existing in multiple witnesses. Because both the architect of Textual Communities (Robinson) and its chief programmer (Xiaohan Zhang) will be present, it will be useful also for technical consultants who plan to work with the Textual Communities API. And, of course, it will be useful for transcribers joining the Canterbury Tales project. There is no charge for this workshop, but places will be limited. Please contact Barbara Bordalejo barbara.bordalejo(a)kuleuven.be<mailto:barbara.bordalejo@kuleuven.be> or Peter Robinson peter.robinson(a)usask.ca<mailto:peter.robinson@usask.ca> to confirm attendance. For accommodation, see http://www.leuven.be/en/tourism/staying/index.jsp. This page is also at http://www.textualcommunities.usask.ca/web/textual-community/blog/-/blogs/f… and at www.arts.kuleuven.be/digitalhumanities/activiteiten<http://www.arts.kuleuven.be/digitalhumanities/activiteiten>.
