Examples of TEI projects
by Daniel Mondekar 04 Apr '10

04 Apr '10

Dear all, I have a quick question about TEI encoding. Actually it is a request for help. We at Croatian Center for Digital Humanities are working (among other) on digital representation of Croatian medieval chronicles (in Latin and Croatian) from 14th and 15th century. What we need is simply examples of similar projects in the world so that we can learn from them. Any help in pointing us to the right direction is most welcome and I thank you in advance. P.S. Some of the project links on TEI web are dead so I am asking you directly through this lists Sincerely, Daniel Mondekar Vice Director Center for Digital Humanities Zagreb Croatia www.digitalna-humanistika.org

The new Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts
by Lynn Ransom 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

The University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the launch of the new Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts. Since early November, a new search interface has been available in beta version for testing. Thanks to feedback from users, we have been able to revise and upgrade search functionality to offer users a more flexible, powerful, and accurate search. The revised <http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/schoenberg> Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts is now available through the Penn Libraries' Digital Library Architecture. The new search interface features: * Faceted searching on over 25 fields * Greater search flexibility with multi-field keyword and numeric range advanced searching * Comprehensive browse lists for sellers, collections, catalogues, authors, titles, provenance, and more * Revised transaction and bibliographic data for auction, sales, and institutional catalogues * Plus, the same commitment to providing the most accurate available data on manuscripts produced before 1600 To access the website, click on the link above or go to: <http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/schoenberg> http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/schoenberg . Please send comments or questions to Lynn Ransom (lransom(a)pobox.upenn.edu). The Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts makes available data on medieval manuscript books of five or more folios produced before 1600 in order to facilitate research for scholars, collectors, and others interested in manuscript studies and the provenance of these unique books. Drawn from auction and sales catalogues, inventories, catalogues from institutional and private collections, and other sources that document sales and locations of manuscript books, the records assist in locating and identifying particular manuscripts, establishing provenance, and aggregating descriptive information about specific classes or types of manuscripts. It was begun in 1997 by Penn Libraries Overseer Lawrence J. Schoenberg <http://www.library.upenn.edu/portal/Schoenberg/about.html> (C'53, WG'56). In 2007, he entrusted the Penn Libraries with its maintenance and development. The database now contains over 160,000 searchable records and continues to grow on a daily basis. ****************** Lynn Ransom, Ph.D. Project Manager, Lawrence J.

ESF-COST Conference on 'Networked Humanities: Art History in the Web' - Call for applications and papers
by Corinne Wininger - Le Moal 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

- Call for Applications/Papers - NETWORKED HUMANITIES: ART HISTORY IN THE WEB ESF-COST High-Level Research Conference Acquafredda di Maratea, Italy, 9-14 October 2010 http://www.esf.org/conferences/10342 Chair: Hubertus Kohle - Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Deutsches Historisches Institut DE Programme Committee: Claudine Moulin, Trier University, DE & Lea Rojola, University of Turku, FI Since the earliest times, new technologies have contributed to profound scientific advances and have transformed the ways we can do research. It is claimed today that the World Wide Web offers revolutionary models of scientific cooperation, which promise to instantiate a utopian democracy of knowledge. This claim has repeatedly been associated with the development and introduction of a collaborative Web, commonly referred to as 'Web 2.0' as well as its offspring, a semantically enriched Web 3.0 still in the making The aim of this conference is to bring together art historians and other researchers (including digital humanists) in order to investigate the intersection between the web and collaborative research processes, via an examination of electronic media-based cooperative models in the history of art and beyond. The conference will not only be an occasion to exchange ideas and present relevant projects in the field, but,with contributions spanning from art history (and digital art) to philosophy and cultural studies, from psychology and sociology of knowledge to computer graphics, from semiotics to curatorial practices it will offer a unique forum for the representation of both diversified and complementary approaches to the topic of Networked humanities. Conference format: * lectures by invited high level speakers * short talks by young & early stage researchers * poster sessions, round table and open discussion periods * forward look panel discussion about future developments Invited Speakers will include: * Patrick Danowski, CERN Geneva, CH * Matteo d'Alfonso, Università di Bologna, IT * Francesca Gallo, University of Rome "La Sapienza", IT * Charlie Gere, University of Lancaster, UK * Gudrun Gersmann, German Historical Institute Paris, FR * Halina Gottlieb, Interactive Institute, Kista, SE * Gerhard Nauta, University of Leiden, NL * Robert Stein, Indianapolis Museum of Arts, US [List to be completed] A good number of grants are available for young researchers to cover the conference fee and possibly part of the travel costs. Grant requests should be made by ticking appropriate field(s) in the paragraph "Grant application" of the application form (http://www2.esf.org/asp/esfrcaf.asp?confcode=342&meetno=1). Full conference programme and application form are accessible online from http://www.esf.org/conferences/10342. ESF-COST Contact for further information: Zuzana Vercinska - zvercinska(a)cost.esf.org Closing date for applications: 18 July 2010 This conference is organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF) in partnership with COST European Cooperation in Science and Technology.

Call for Participation - Collaboration in Cataloging: Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan
by Evyn Kropf 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

*Please excuse cross-posting* Call for Participation - Collaboration in Cataloging: Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan Colleagues, The University of Michigan Library is pleased to invite your participation in our ongoing CLIR-funded project, "Collaboration in Cataloging: Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan," by way of our newly launched project website: http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/ The project website is at the center of an approach that provides access to bibliographic records and digital surrogates for the Islamic manuscripts; facilitates the gathering of informative and insightful commentary from scholars on campus, across the country, and around the world; and exposes in real time the dynamic enrichment of bibliographic information as project staff, scholars, and other contributors interact with the system. By involving the widest possible scholarly community in the iterative enrichment of manuscript descriptions, our project makes the best possible use of an aggregate of expertise that is uniquely positioned to help us overcome the challenges inherent in traditional manuscript cataloguing. The Islamic Manuscripts Collection at the University of Michigan contains approximately 1,100 manuscript volumes mainly in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish and dating from roughly the 8th to the 20th century CE. A limited amount of descriptive information for the manuscripts has already been gathered and converted to preliminary records in our online library catalogue. Likewise, the manuscripts are being digitized with their digital versions appearing in the Hathi Trust Digital Library. The existing descriptive information is currently being enhanced as the project cataloguer and staff examine the manuscripts (both physically and in the digital environment) and use a research approach to assemble as rich and analytical a description as possible for each manuscript. We invite you to join us in the examination and description of the manuscripts and to submit the results of your analysis as comments via our project website. Your contributions will be reviewed by the project cataloguer and refashioned for incorporation into the cataloguing records for the manuscripts you examine. Additionally, your contribution will be recognized both on the site and in the record for the manuscript that appears in our library catalogue. We look forward to seeing your comments posted to the project site and thank you in advance for your valuable contribution to this project. Further information on the project is available here: http://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-library/clir-islamic-manuscrip… You may browse records of all the Islamic manuscripts in our catalogue at: http://mirlyn.lib.umich.edu/Search/Home?filter%5B%5D=location%3ASPEC%20ISLM… And all manuscripts which have been digitized are viewable here: http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/mb?a=listis;c=1961411403 Please forward any questions, comments, and/or suggestions to project staff at islamic.manuscripts(a)umich.edu. ________________________________________________________________ Evyn Kropf | Islamic Manuscripts Project Cataloguer University Library Area Programs | M117B Hatcher Library North The University of Michigan | Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1205 (734) 764-1220 | ekropf(a)umich.edu
