CFP - Digital Philology, 2014 and 2015 Open Issues
by Albert Lloret 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures Call for Submissions, 2014 and 2015 Open Issues Digital Philology is a new peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of medieval vernacular texts and cultures. Founded by Stephen G. Nichols and Nadia R. Altschul, the journal 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 issues of Digital Philology per year. One is open to all submissions, while the other one is guest-edited, and revolves around a thematic axis. Contributions may take the form of a scholarly essay or focus on the study of a particular manuscript. Articles must be written in English, follow the 3rd edition (2008) of the MLA style manual, and be between 5,000 and 7,000 words in length, including 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 2014 and 2015 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 jlp4(a)princeton.edu. Correspondence regarding digital projects and publications for review may be addressed to Timothy Stinson at tlstinson(a)gmail.com.

Webcast presentation: History of DM and the development of MESA
by Dot Porter 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hello DM list This is a bit of a late notice, but tomorrow at noon (EST) I'm going to be presenting a Digital Library Brown Bag locally (at Indiana University Bloomington): "Medievalists' Use of Digital Resources and the Development of the Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance (MESA)". The talk will be webcast, so if this looks interesting but you can't make it to Bloomington (and many can't) please feel free to join the webcast. The talk will also be recorded, and posted online soon after the event. I'll post the recording once it's live. I'm pasting the official announcement below, the instructions for joining the webcast are towards the bottom, just below the abstract. Thanks, Dot *** Greetings! Please join us Wednesday, October 3rd for a digital library brown bag presentation by Dot Porter. The presentation will be held at the Herman B Wells Library, room E174, from 12:00-1:00 -------------- Medievalists' Use of Digital Resources and the Development of MESA Dot Porter, Associate Director for Digital Library Content and Services Digital Library Program Wells Library, Room E174 The Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance (MESA) is a federated international community of scholars, project, institutions, and organizations engaged in digital scholarship within the field of medieval studies. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, MESA seeks both to provide a community for those engaged in digital medieval studies and to meet emerging needs of this community, including making recommendations on technological and scholarly standards for electronic scholarship, the aggregation of data, and the ability to discover and repurpose this data. This presentation will focus on the discovery aspect of MESA, and how it might serve the non-digital medievalist who may nevertheless be interested in finding and using digital resources. Starting with a history of medievalists and their interactions with digital technology as told through three data sets (the International Congress on Medieval Studies (first held in 1962), arts-humanities.net (a digital project database in the UK, sponsored by JISC and the Arts & Humanities Research Council), and two surveys, from 2002 and 2011, that looked specifically at medievalists' use of digital resources), I will draw out some potential issues that this history has for the current developers of digital resources for medievalists, and investigate how MESA might serve to address these issues. -------------- Presentation slides and audio will be available via the Connect Meeting Service (formerly known as "Breeze"). Go to <http://breeze.iu.edu/diglib> to view and listen to the presentation. If you are not a registered user for Connect Meeting/Breeze, select the "Enter as a Guest" option. -------------- The Digital Library Brown Bag series is held most Wednesdays this Fall 2012 semester.

Workshop “Historical Documents in the Digital Age”, 25th-26th October 2012 – University of Rouen <http://www.docexplore.eu/?p=328> ******************************************************* CALL FOR PARTICIPATION / APPEL A PARTICIPATION Historical Documents in the Digital Age 25th-26th october 2012 – University of Rouen http://hdda2012.sciencesconf.org/ ******************************************************* (French version below / Version française ci-dessous) **Purpose The aim of the Workshop is to bring together those whose professional work involves the study of historical documents or who have a responsibility for increasing their accessibility, with technologists developing techniques to support the analysis and management of digital documents. The Workshop will encourage a greater understanding of how these two communities can work productively together and how crossing the traditional disciplinary boundaries can create opportunities for supporting better historical research while also increasing the general public ‘s awareness of their rich cultural heritage. This workshop should be interesting for: * Historians and others interested in sharing their experiences of document analysis with scientists developing computer-based tools to support such activities. * Those who have a responsibility for preserving and managing historical documents and making them available both to specialists using them for research and detailed study, and the general public seeking to benefit from the rich cultural legacy embodied by such documents. * Scientists and engineers developing advanced technologies in areas such as image processing, pattern recognition and digital media engineering relevant to document analysis. The workshop will provide an opportunity for a diverse range of researchers and other professionals, including end users, to share experiences and explore ideas at the crossroads of traditional disciplinary boundaries, otherwise barriers to rapid progress in improving the accessibility of documents which can contribute so fundamentally to an understanding of our cultural heritage. For each session of the workshop, we invited European specialists of the field to share their experience of the domain, as an opening for an open debate with all attendants. The workshop is opened to all, we only require those wishing to attend to freely register on the website before October 17th in order to manage the logistical constraints of the venue. The languages of the workshop will be French and English, with simultaneous translation provided. **Program Session 1 : La gestion des collections à l'ère du numérique / Libraries and archives in the Digital Age * Matthieu Bonicel, BNF, Paris * Jean-François Moufflet, Archives de France, Paris * Alixe Bovey, CMEMS, University of Kent or Cressida Williams, CCA Session 2 : Des outils informatiques pour transcrire et indexer / Digital tools for annotating and indexing * Alison Wiggins, CELL, Glasgow * Marçal Rusinol, CVC, Barcelona * Frank Lebourgeois, LIRIS, Lyon * Stéphane Nicolas, LITIS, Rouen Session 3 : Paléographie numérique / Digital paleography * Marc Smith, Ecole des Chartes * Véronique Eglin, LIRIS, Lyon * Elisabeth Lalou, GRHIS, Rouen * Richard Guest, EDA, University of Kent Session 4 : Les nouvelles modalités pour la valorisation du patrimoine / ICT in Cultural Heritage * Clive Izard, British Library, London * Oliver Hitchcock, VirtuaSense, Rouen * Alexandre Chautemps, labo BnF, Paris * Clotilde Vaissaire-Agard, CF2ID Session 5: Les humanités numériques: réalité ou fiction ? / Digital Humanities: present and future * Dominique Stutzmann, IRHT, Paris * Melissa Terras, UCL, London * Alison Wiggins, CELL, Glasgow * discussion ouverte / round table **Registration The workshop is opened to all, we only require those wishing to attend to freely register on the website before October 17th in order to manage the logistical constraints of the venue.

Les photographier est une première étape non triviale mais clairement insuffisante. Comment à partir des masses d’images ainsi produites obtenir des documents numériques ? Comment les annoter, les transcrire, analyser leur structure ? Comment gérer leur nombre, comment améliorer leur accessibilité ? Le but du séminaire *Historical Documents in the Digital Age* est de faire un point entre historiens, conservateurs, bibliothécaires, et informaticiens sur ces questions complexes. Pour ce faire, nous avons invité différents spécialistes européens de ces problèmes à faire le bilan de leurs expériences, d’une manière accessible à tous. Ces exposés seront un prélude à des discussions thématiques que nous souhaitons fructueuses, confrontant les différentes perceptions des participants sur ces problèmes communs. **Programme Session 1 : La gestion des collections à l'ère du numérique / Libraries and archives in the Digital Age * Matthieu Bonicel, BNF, Paris * Jean-François Moufflet, Archives de France, Paris * Alixe Bovey, CMEMS, University of Kent or Cressida Williams, CCA Session 2 : Des outils informatiques pour transcrire et indexer / Digital tools for annotating and indexing * Alison Wiggins, CELL, Glasgow * Marçal Rusinol, CVC, Barcelona * Frank Lebourgeois, LIRIS, Lyon * Stéphane Nicolas, LITIS, Rouen Session 3 : Paléographie numérique / Digital paleography * Marc Smith, Ecole des Chartes * Véronique Eglin, LIRIS, Lyon * Elisabeth Lalou, GRHIS, Rouen * Richard Guest, EDA, University of Kent Session 4 : Les nouvelles modalités pour la valorisation du patrimoine / ICT in Cultural Heritage * Clive Izard, British Library, London * Oliver Hitchcock, VirtuaSense, Rouen * Alexandre Chautemps, labo BnF, Paris * Clotilde Vaissaire-Agard, CF2ID Session 5: Les humanités numériques: réalité ou fiction ? / Digital Humanities: present and future * Dominique Stutzmann, IRHT, Paris * Melissa Terras, UCL, London * Alison Wiggins, CELL, Glasgow * discussion ouverte / round table **Inscription Pour assister à cette conférence, vous devez vous inscrire gratuitement sur le site web de la conférence avant le *17 octobre*. Repas et pauses cafés vous sont offertes, mais nous avons besoin d'un nombre ferme et définitif suffisamment longtemps à l'avance pour pouvoir passer commande. Si vous ne vous êtes pas inscrits avant le 17 octobre, vous ne pourrez pas participer aux repas. Le campus fournit néanmoins de nombreuses possibilités de restauration par vos propres moyens. **Comité d'organisation Ce séminaire est organisé par le projet Interreg IVa DocExplore ( www.docexplore.eu), auquel participent des historiens, des bibliothécaires et des informaticiens, français et anglais, qui vise à la construction d’une suite logicielle. Cette suite est destinée aux historiens comme aux bibliothécaires, elle facilite annotations multimédia et transcriptions, mais permet également à partir de celles-ci la création de feuilleteurs à destination par exemple d'un plus grand public.
