Interedition: Call for Papers Symposium 'Scholarly Digital Editions, Tools and Infrastructure', 19-20 March 2012, The Hague, The Netherlands
by Joris van Zundert 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

---------------------- * Apologies for potential cross posting * Please distribute freely and widely === Call for Papers: Scholarly Digital Editions, Tools and Infrastructure === == Interedition - An Interoperable Supranational Infrastructure for Digital Editions == == 19-20 March 2011, 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.

Spring School "Digital Edition", Vienna 6.-10.2.2012
by Georg Vogeler 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

The Digital Medievalist might be not the place to advertise digital scholarly editing, but certainly the place to inform all of you on a school trying to attract less technical advanced people and teach them the methods of scholarly editing. So please spread the word: The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) in cooperation with the International Center for Archival Sciences (ICARus) and the Institute for Austrian Historical Research (IfÖG) has set up another Spring School on "Digital Edition" <http://www.i-d-e.de/events-des-ide/spring-school-2012>. It will take place in Vienna 6.-10.2012 and will introduce into XML, the TEI, other connected techniques and standards and the theory of digital editing. The school is adressed to young and more experienced scholars working on a critical scholarly edition who are interested in getting an idea of the concepts of digital editing and learning the basic skills to create one by themselves. The school will be held in German. If you are interested in participating please send a short presentation of your project to <SpringSchool2012(a)icar-us.eu> Best Georg -- Dr. Georg Vogeler Zentrum für Informationsmodellierung in den Geisteswissenchaften - Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz <http://www.uni-graz.at/zim/> Merangasse 70 - A - 8010 Graz Tel. +43 316 380 8033 Institut für Dokumentologie und Editorik <http://www.i-d-e.de> Association Paléographique Internationale - Culture .

Interedition: CFP Bootcamp #9 - Text Analysis
by Joris van Zundert 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Please circulate widely... **CALL FOR PARTICIPATION** Interedition 9th Bootcamp: 11 - 14 January 2012 ------------------------------------------------ Interedition invites all interested to participate in the upcoming Development Bootcamp, which will take place from 11 to 14 January at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. The bootcamps are intended for the development of prototypes for interoperable 'microservice' tools for text scholarship and digital editions. The work of previous bootcamps have focused on collation, transcription, and annotation of texts; the goal of this bootcamp is to encourage the development of prototypes for text analysis. One of the most exciting directions of digital text edition lies in the question of the innovative lines of research that might be taken when all the textual data is digitized, annotated, collated, and checked. Examples include: * Discourse analysis * Linked data * Stemmatology * Stylistics * ... Each of these has been incorporated into one or more existing critical edition, but there are at present very few tools available that might be shared between edition projects. There is an acute need for better interoperability of the tools we have, and for the development of new tools that are designed from the ground up with the principles of interoperability in mind. During this bootcamp Interedition seeks to bring together scholars and developers working on any sort of text analysis for digital edition, to discuss their lines of approach, the tools they are using, and possible points of interoperability and interchange of data. The primary objective, as with all bootcamps, is the development of prototypes that put the results of our discussions to work. Another important objective is to give developers and early stage researchers an opportunity to meet and share their own projects and experiences with tool interoperability in textual scholarship. BURSARIES COST Action IS0704 'Interedition' is offering bursaries to early stage researchers (< Ph.D. + 10 years) and developers that want to join the bootcamp. The bursaries will consist of an €100 per diem allowance and will cover full travel expenses, subject to caps. A limited number of bursaries are available to participants from outside the member countries of Interedition. [1] HOW TO APPLY If you are interested in participating in the bootcamp, please send an email to joris.van.zundert-AT-huygensinstituut.knaw.nl<http://joris.van.zundert-at-huygensinstituut.knaw.nl/>by **14 December 2011**. You don't need an intricate motivation, but please state your affiliation, and add a very short (certainly not more than 200 words) description of your current or related development work in digital humanities. Attendance throughout the bootcamp is expected, but in certain circumstances a shorter attendance may be negotiated. PROGRAM Wednesday 11 January - Introduction of participants and projects - Introduction to existing tools for text analysis - Division of Tasks/Labor Thursday 12 January - Hacking - Documentation of the day's work Friday 13 January - Hacking - Documentation of the day's work Saturday 14 January - Unconference on participants' projects - Documentation - Discussion of future possibilities for further cooperation ABOUT INTEREDITION Interedition (http://www.interedition.eu) is a COST (http://www.cost.eu) funded Action whose objective is to further the interoperability of tools in digital scholarship. Interedition is raising the awareness of the importance of interoperability as a major driver for sustainability for tools and data in the field of digital scholarship. This activity takes two forms: firstly, meetings in which researchers in digital scholarship can network their knowledge of tools and the possibilities for their interoperability; secondly, the development of proof-of-concept implementations of interoperable tools. These proof-of-concept tools are the focus of Interedition's periodic bootcamps, which offer the open source development community in the humanities opportunities to meet, network, and exchange knowledge. ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS The bootcamp and think tank are organized through the kind efforts of: - Caroline Macé (KU Leuven) - Tara Andrews (KU Leuven) [1] Member countries include Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, F.Y.R. Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
