We already have more than 40 answers, but we need *yours* to improve the picture of the community :) [please ignore this message if you are not involved in digital work with manuscripts] Dear colleagues, The Special Interest Group for Manuscript Encoding of the TEI wants to draw a picture of the current status, requisites and future demands related to the SIG's agenda. For this purpose, we would like you to participate in the study "Trends, Concerns and Dreams among the Users of the TEI for Manuscript Material". The first part of this study is an online survey. Its results will be presented at the TEI Members Meeting in Zadar, Croatia, November 2010 and discussed at the next SIG meeting in order to steer future developments of the work of the SIG. To participate, you simply need to fill in this anonymous online survey, which should take you less than 10 minutes: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/361896/TEI-MS We really appreciate your help here, for we need the most feedback possible to draw a faithful picture of the community of users of the TEI for manuscript material (inside and beyond the TEI-MS SIG).

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/
