by Tamir Hassan 21 May '13

21 May '13

-------------------------------------------------------------------- ProDoc@DocEng Doctoral Consortium at the ACM Symposium on Document Engineering http://www.doceng2013.org/doctoral-consortium/ Call for Submissions * Submission Deadline: June 5, 2013 (24:00 CEST) * Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2013 -------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first time, the ACM Symposium on Document Engineering will feature a doctoral consortium, called ProDoc@DocEng. PhD students present their dissertation project and will get feedback from a panel of senior researchers as well as from the general audience. ProDoc@DocEng is intended to provide constructive criticism and help PhD students in formulating their research question, deciding about methods and approaches to use, and creating further ideas. It is a good place to learn about how to conduct a dissertation project and to learn about leading edge research, the results of which might be presented at one of the next Symposia. Participants of ProDoc@DocEng register for DocEng 2013 and will thus be able to attend all sessions of the Symposium. ProDoc@DocEng will take place during the Symposium. Each participant will be allocated 10 minutes for presentation, followed feedback and questions. There will be no publication for ProDoc@DocEng. You are not required to have an accepted paper/poster/demo for DocEng 2013 to be eligible for ProDoc@DocEng. However, if you are author or co-author of an accepted submission, we encourage you to present your dissertation project at ProDoc@DocEng. For participation, please provide a proposal, briefly outlining your dissertation topic. Please also state your affiliation or/and employer, your main supervisor and your academic background. See below for details. PhD students accepted for ProDoc@DocEng are eligible to apply for Student Travel Awards, for details see: <http://www.doceng2013.org/support-for-students> *Submission process* Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format by June 5, 2013, 24:00 CEST, via the easychair conference system: <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=doceng2013> Submissions must not exceed two pages and must conform to the ACM SIG Proceedings format <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>: - State the working title and your name and your affiliation or/and employer in the header. - State your main supervisor, your background (i.e., what kind of MA or MSc you obtained before, or what you are working on at the moment), when you started your PhD studies and when your thesis is planned to be completed. If your institution has certain rules with respect to the duration of PhD studies or internal and external readers, please add this information. Please also note if you are looking for a second supervisor. - Then, describe your dissertation project including your research question, related work, and the current status of your work (i.e., preliminary ideas, proposed approach, and results achieved so far). - If you have already published on your topic, give references. (Skip abstract and categories, and start with information on your supervisor and personal background instead.) The language of the consortium is English. All submissions must be in English. Accepted submissions will not be published in the DocEng 2013 proceedings. *Review process* All submissions will be reviewed by two members of the ProDoc@DocEng panel (to be announced). The main evaluation criteria are: originality, significance, maturity, and clarity. Acceptance for the Doctoral Consortium is competitive in nature and is based on the evaluation criteria above. *Doctoral Consortium Chair* Cerstin Mahlow, University of Konstanz, Germany (cerstin.mahlow(a)uni-konstanz.de) -- Sent by Tamir Hassan University of Konstanz, Germany Publicity Chair, DocEng 2013

Dear all, As part of the Biblissima project, we are carrying out a survey on the user requirements for XML editors, especially for people doing TEI and/or EAD encoding. We would like to find out more about your habits and wishes, in order to develop tools that are best-suited to your needs. If you are involved with this kind of work, we would be pleased if you could answer our survey : English version : http://www.biblissima-condorcet.fr/limesurvey/index.php/229321/lang-en French version : http://www.biblissima-condorcet.fr/limesurvey/index.php/229321/lang-fr German version : http://www.biblissima-condorcet.fr/limesurvey/index.php/229321/lang-de We invite you to transmit it as widely as possible to your colleagues, students or friends who use XML editor whether regularly or occasionally in the digital humanities.

3D images available of the St Chad Gospels
by Endres, William F 13 May '13

13 May '13

Dear all, I am happy to announce that I have 16 interactive 3D images of Lichfield Cathedral's St Chad Gospels available online, with plans to have the complete manuscript up by summer's end: http://lichfield.as.uky.edu . This is a beta version but very stable. Chrome offers the best 3D support for browsers, but Safari works well as does Opera. Foxfire and Internet Explorer should have the necessary support in their next releases. Features include the ability to measure any aspect of a page, offering seven different measurements (by color) and each measurement able to comprise multiple points (for a point, line or polygon); allowing viewers to generate a URL for an exact view that they have manipulated a 3D rendering into for later return or to send to a colleague or friend (or for citation); annotate any feature on a page and save it to the server, loading it and its view later (I have an annotation for page 5, the Chi-Rho); and my favorite viewing feature—by holding down the alt key, left clicking the mouse and dragging it, the cursor location becomes the point around which the page rotates (potentially making any point on a page its own epicenter). There is a key at the top of the viewer for the 3D images giving the various functions and movements, including full-screen mode, panning the camera, zooming in and out, and dragging the image (by clicking and holding down the mousewheel—we'll have a keystroke for this movement soon so that all of the functionality will work on the touchpad of a laptop. If anyone has any comments or suggestions, please contact me: bill.endres(a)uky.edu .

DigitalCelebration
by Roueche, Charlotte 10 May '13

10 May '13

This summer sees the completion of the first round of research projects in the humanities funded by HERA, Humanities in the European Research Area. http://www.heranet.info The event is being marked by a Conference, and a Festival of the Humanities, The Time and the Place, in London, on 31 May and 1 June: http://www.heranet.info/final-conference-and-humanities-festival As might have been expected, several of the projects focussed on the digital world, and all of them engaged with digital humanities to a greater or lesser extent. We are therefore organising an event presenting and analysing issues that have emerged during the research period: this will take the form of a series of presentations, followed by a panel discussion. For a programme of the event, on Friday 31 May, 13.00-15.30, at King's College London, see http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/chs/eventrecords/2012-13/timeandplace.a… Admission is free and open to all, but those attending are asked to register online. We look forward to welcoming you!

Digital History Seminar, Tuesday 14 May: Matthew Hammond 'The People of Medieval Scotland Database: A Prosopographical Survey'
by Seth Denbo 09 May '13

09 May '13

*Digital History Seminar*Matthew HammondThe People of Medieval Scotland Database: A Prosopographical Survey5:15pm (BST) on 14 May 2013<http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Digital+History+Se…> Room 243 (Senate House) and live on the Web at History SPOT<https://historyspot.org.uk/podcasts> ‘The People of Medieval Scotland, 1093-1314’ is a prosopographical database that has been in production since 2007, and has been freely available online since the summer of 2010. Since the relaunch of the database last year, the site has had over 40,000 unique visitors from across the globe. Now nearing completion, the database contains records on over 20,000 individuals, drawn from over 8500 medieval, mostly Latin documents. The paper will examine some of the PoMS project’s technical innovations as well as the new directions we hope to take in the coming years. The seminar will take you behind the scenes of the public website to see how this database evolved from the factoid prosopography model created for the ‘Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England’ (PASE) by John Bradley of the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, now Department of Digital Humanities, at Kings College London. PoMS has developed what might be called a ‘transactional model’ of factoid prosopography, due to the fact that it is comprised almost entirely of transactional documents like charters. Rather than simply recording events, the transactional model is explicitly interested in relations between individuals as recorded in the documents. We will examine the new structures PoMS incorporates to allow end users the ability to research the terms of the transaction, and thus the nature of the interaction between people, as well as multiple transactions happening at different times within the same document. We will look at the work of Michele Pasin, formerly of DDH, in developing new ways for users to both search and visualise these transactions. The seminar will finish with a consideration of the capabilities of the database for studying the social networks, and visualising the relationships between large numbers of people. *Matthew Hammond* is a Research Associate in the School of Humanities at the University of Glasgow and former Lecturer in Scottish History at the University of Edinburgh. Since 2007, he has been a team member of the AHRC-funded projects that created the ‘People of Medieval Scotland, 1093-1286’ database (www.poms.ac.uk) and is now working on a Leverhulme-funded project to expand the capabilities of that database, especially in the area of Social Network Analysis.

Request for Comments: Interoperability between Stemmatological Microservices
by Tara Andrews 07 May '13

07 May '13

Dear colleagues, Thanks to a Project Support Grant awarded by the ALLC this year, we have the opportunity to connect two related web services for stemmatological analysis of texts: Stemweb (https://github.com/Stemweb/Stemweb) provided by researchers at the University of Helsinki, and Stemmaweb ( http://byzantini.st/stemmaweb/) provided by the Tree of Texts project at KU Leuven in collaboration with the Huygens Institute. After a meeting in Helsinki we have produced a white paper on our plans for interoperability, and we warmly invite comments or suggestions from any interested scholar, researcher, and/or developer. We intend to begin work in June, so comments received by the end of May would be particularly helpful. The white paper is available here: http://treeoftexts.arts.kuleuven.be/?p=58 Comments may be mailed directly to the authors, or preferably added directly to the blog post for open discussion. Best wishes, Tara Andrews (tara.andrews(a)arts.kuleuven.be) Teemu Roos (teemu.roos(a)cs.helsinki.fi) Joris van Zundert (joris.van.zundert(a)huygens.knaw.nl)
