TAN: How does one reference a location in an electronic book on Kindle or iPad?
by O'Donnell, Dan 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hi all, Good question from a student: if she is referencing a specific passage in a book on a Kindle that (apparently) has no pages or paragraph numbers, what does she do? She says Kindle has something called "locations" but it isn't clear to me if these are canonical or more like arbitrary bookmarks from how she is describing them (I don't have any ereaders, and so don't know). Anybody know what you are supposed to do? I guess she could count paragraphs if it was that important, or, as with a very long webpage, just skip providing a location more precise than the entire work on the theory that you could full-text-search for it. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Chair and CEO, Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org/) Co-Chair, Digital Initiatives Advisory Board, Medieval Academy of America President-elect (English), Society for Digital Humanities/Société pour l'étude des médias interactifs (http://sdh-semi.org/) Founding Director (2003-2009), Digital Medievalist Project (http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/) Vox: +1 403 329-2377 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 (non-confidential) Home Page: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/

It will examine some of the approaches and tools that are available to editors of digital texts and the possibilities for collaborative editing online. It will suggest practical solutions to some of the challenges faced by editors in the digital age, and explore how 'editions' might evolve in the age of crowd-sourcing and deep linking of data. 1.00 Lunch 2.00 Panel session Eleonora Litta Modignani and Paul Spence (Centre for Computing in the Humanities, Kings College London) Digital editing of the Early English Laws Stuart Dunn (Centre for e-Research, Kings College London) Connecting Historical Authorities with Links, Contexts and Entities (CHALICE) Bruce Tate (British History Online, Institute of Historical Research) ReScript a platform for the collaborative online editing of historical texts 3.30 Tea and coffee 3.50 Discussion 4.30 Close If you would like to attend the workshop, email Jenny Benham (Jenny.Benham(a)sas.ac.uk).

Supporting the Digital Humanities (SDH) / Networking Event for the European Research Infrastructures (NEERI)
by Eric Andrew Haswell 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

*APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING* The following conferences may be of interest to list members: ********************************************************* SDH 2010 - Supporting the Digital Humanities 19-20 October 2010, Vienna University of Technology NEERI 2010 - Networking Event for the European Research Infrastructures 21 October 2010, Vienna University of Technology ********************************************************* SDH2010 is the first conference that is jointly organized by the CLARIN and DARIAH initiatives, which are building the European research infrastructure for the humanities and related disciplines. SDH2010 aims to bring together infrastructure providers and users from the communities involved with the two infrastructure initiatives. The conference will consist of a number of topical sessions where providers and users will present and discuss results, obstacles and opportunities for digitally-supported humanities research. Participants will be encouraged to engage with honest assessments of the intellectual problems and practical barriers in an open and constructive atmosphere. SDH2010 is organized together with NEERI2010, the second European networking event for research infrastructures. Whereas SDH2010 will focus on the types of research made possible by research computing, NEERI2010 will focus on the technical, architectural and social challenges of building the infrastructure. NEERI2010 is the second Networking Event of its kind, providing a follow-up to NEERI2009 held in Helsinki. The goal of NEERI2010 is to exchange ideas on a number of topics relevant for research infrastructures and to clear common ground on the further development and application of these topics. NEERI focuses on what we share and what we can learn from each other. Examples of such commonalities are architectural issues, communication with users and integration of services and tools. SDH 2010 will have a special focus on the humanities and social sciences, while NEERI will focus more on general aspects of research infrastructure development across all disciplines, including the natural and life sciences. Registration is open. Further information is available on the conference website: http://ztwweb.trans.univie.ac.at/sdh2010/
