Junicode 0.7.1
by Peter Baker 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Yet another release of Junicode, the font for medievalists. There were significant problems with some Windows apps in version 0.7. These have now been fixed in version 0.7.1; all Windows users should update their copies. But there are other incremental improvements as well, so OS X and Linux users may as well update. Be sure to delete the old version before installing the new: there have been some file name and font name changes, and so failure to delete the old copy will surely cause problems.

Interedition: Symposium 'Scholarly Digital Editions, Tools and Infrastructure', Deadline extension: 29 January 2012
by Joris van Zundert 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

---------------------------- * Apologies for potential cross posting * Please distribute freely and widely === Deadline Extension: deadline Sun 29 January 2012 (23.59 GMT+1) === We are extending the deadline of the call below to a final definite date and time of Sunday 29 January 2012, 23.59 GMT+1. Apologies for confusing the community with being 'a year off' in the initial call, we hope this wasn't reason for anyone not to submit: we do stress the symposium is indeed taking place from 19-20 March 2012. === Call for Papers: Scholarly Digital Editions, Tools and Infrastructure === == Interedition - An Interoperable Supranational Infrastructure for Digital Editions == == 19-20 March 2012, Huygens ING, The Hague, The Netherlands == Huygens ING is pleased to host a symposium to mark the achievements of Interedition, COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action IS0704. This event will also serve as a springboard for further work based on the principles of interoperability promoted by Interedition within the domain of digital scholarly editing and research. One of the key objectives of Interedition has been to produce a ‘roadmap’ conceptualizing the development of a technical infrastructure for collaborative digital preparation, editing, publication, analysis and visualization of literary research materials. Interedition has approached the problem of interoperable infrastructure from the perspectives of methodology, technology, and community. At present Interedition is realizing the ‘nuts and bolts’ of a bottom-up generalizable architecture, focusing on the development community and the prototyping of distributed lightweight services. This grassroots approach is emerging from the ‘engine rooms’ where Web 2.0 digital editions are being built and promises a generalizable and viable approach to collaborative digital humanities tool building. Creators and/or users of tools for textual scholarship are invited to submit paper proposals dealing with tools and methodologies that promote, exemplify, and otherwise address the issues of interoperability and sustainability in the field of digital scholarly editing and research. In particular, we encourage papers which address, but are not limited to the following areas: * Development and application of tools to achieve interoperability and sustainability in the arena of digital textual scholarship * Development methodology and the problem of bottom-up versus top-down approaches * Development and application of tools for digital scholarly editions * Theoretical and practical problems of digital editing and scholarly information exchange * Community and user aspects of interoperability in textual scholarship * Crowd sourcing solutions * Architectural approaches towards interoperability for tools in digital scholarship * Digital techniques and methodologies from scholars working on textual data in the humanities Speakers are asked to submit abstracts of 750 words. This should also include the names, titles, institutional affiliations, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of all authors. Abstracts must be submitted via email to joris.van.zundert(a)huygens.knaw.nl by 15 January 2012. Please note that we will be publishing the proceedings and that contributions will be peer reviewed. A bursary scheme will be in place to facilitate travel and accommodation for selected papers. Details will be forthcoming *** Keeping true to Interedition’s principles a bootcamp oriented towards collaborative coding opportunities for researchers/developers will be attached to this symposium. More details about this will be forthcoming. *** Further details will be available at: http://www.interedition.eu/ == Symposium organizing committee == Peter Boot (Huygens Institute for the History of The Netherlands) Karina van Dalen-Oskam (Huygens Institute for the History of The Netherlands) Fotis Jannidis (Universität Würzburg) Kathryn E.

Centre for e-Research Seminar: Digital Transformations of Research and Styles of Knowing
by Stuart Dunn 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

With apologies for cross-postings. The first seminar in the Centre for e-Research Seminar Series for 2012, Digital Transformations of Research and Styles of Knowing by Ralph Shroeder and Eric Meyer, is on Thursday 17th January in the Anatomy Theatre and Museum, King's College London. For more information and to register, please go to http://www.kcl.ac.uk/innovation/groups/cerch/events/seminars/index.aspx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digital Transformations of Research and Styles of Knowing Ralph Schroeder, Senior Research Fellow, Oxford Internet Institute Eric T. Meyer, Research Fellow, Oxford Internet Institute Tuesday 17 January, 6.15pm, Anatomy Museum. Followed by drinks In recent years, large-scale research programmes have been implemented across the globe with labels like e-Science, e-Infrastructure and cyberinfrastructure (Meyer and Schroeder 2009). It has been argued that these various digital transformations have fundamentally changed how research is done. In this paper, we challenge this argument, and suggest instead that there are more specific changes in particular areas of research that have taken place. To delimit the scope of what can be considered a digital transformation of research or ‘e-Research’ (since these could potentially encompass a vast range of phenomena), we define these as the distributed and collaborative use of digital tools and data in the production of scientific knowledge. One feature that e-Research efforts share is that they consist of online research technologies with a digital component, though what this component consists of varies among particular e-Research projects (for example, data in a digital format, the use of computing power to perform processing, or the creation of complex visualizations with computer graphics). We argue, however, that this variety in technologies is not infinite, but that there are a limited number of these components which can be identified. Please register to attend at: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/2658460527 About the speakers Dr Eric T. Meyer is a Research Fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute. His research in the area of social informatics focuses on understanding how digital technologies enable changes in the way people work, relate and interact. A particular focus has been studying how the practices of research are changing as digital tools and data become central in the sciences, social sciences, and arts & humanities. He is broadly interested in a fundamental question regarding how technology and practice are related: what evidence is there that technology has enabled people and organizations to do entirely new things? More information is available at: http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/people/?id=120 Ralph Schroeder is Professor at the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford. He is director of research at the Institute and director of its Master's degree in 'Social Science of the Internet'. His books include 'Rethinking Science, Technology and Social Change' (Stanford University Press 2007) and 'Being there Together: Social Interaction in Virtual Environments' (Oxford University Press 2010). Before coming to Oxford, he was Professor at Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Fwd: [dm-l] Automatically scan two text corpora for quotations
by Stephen Martin 03 Jan '12

03 Jan '12

>From a colleague in corpus linguistics ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Catherine Smith <casmith(a)morris.umn.edu> Date: Mon, Jan 2, 2012 at 2:27 PM Subject: Re: [dm-l] Automatically scan two text corpora for quotations To: Stephen Martin <scmartin(a)morris.umn.edu> Yes, off the top of my head, I can think of three options: 1. Monoconc (http://www.athel.com/mono.html) by Michael Barlow ( http://www.michaelbarlow.com/) should be able to handle this kind of task. 2. Any scholar can easily learn how to program using Stefan Gries's ( http://www.linguistics.ucsb.edu/faculty/stgries/) open-access programming language entitled "R" ( http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/02.html) on which Gries has written the book entitled _Quantitative Corpus Linguistics with R_.( http://books.google.com/books/about/Quantitative_corpus_linguistics_with_R.…). Of course, other languages work well, too (e.g., Pascal, Perl). 3. Ask an NAU (Northern Arizona U) corpus linguist to write a program for you (e.g., I might be able to do it, but there would be a delay since another scholar is using me at the moment; the scholar could contact Doug Biber, http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/biber/, or I could do so on his or her behalf, and ask if anyone has a program already or can write one). Of course, students or graduates of other computational linguistics programs may be happy to offer assistance, too. It should be noted that the above approaches would probably rely on the use of either morphemic roots or "wild card" symbols; this would allow the analyst to search for strings of characters and variations in these strings. If this approach were inadequate, then there might be a delay if a part-of-speech (POS) tagger needed to be located; there would be a substantial delay if a POS tagger needed to be written. In addition, if the digital versions of the texts have been left intact, then it is likely that they contain variations in spelling. So, the first step would be to produce a copy of the corpus in which spelling variations were located and replaced with consistent spelling. This could be done using a "search-and-replace" function to capture as many occurrences as possible. Furthermore, it should be understood that these approaches may yield a percentage of observations (e.g., 85%) that could then be used for further analysis. Depending on the extent of linguistic variation in the original corpus, it may or may not be possible to extract 100% of the occurrences. In any case, I should think that the project is most do-able and most interesting. So, I hope these initial thoughts are helpful, and I would be happy to be of further assistance.
