Website downtiime

Dear DM-L, There was a problem with the Digital Medievalist website today owing to outgoing network problems at the University of Lethbridge, where the site is hosted. The newsfeed for the site is hosted elsewhere (at wordpress.com) and imported into the DM site as an atom feed. The XInclude fallback (that says the news is temporarily unavailable) was not being displayed reliably in all cases, and this was have a derogatory effect on the rest of the site. Now that uleth.ca is again seeing the outside world the problem seems to have rectified itself, but we will be taking steps to attempt to minimize such disruptions in the future. Apologies to anyone who attempted to use the site in the meantime. Sincerely, Dr James Cummings Director, Digital Medievalist www.digitalmedievalist.org

Encoding and analysis of phonemic information
by Roberto Rosselli Del Turco 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Hi all, has anyone experience about how to use TEI to encode phonemic (and possibly phonetic) information in a text transcription? Also I would love to hear from people not using TEI for this purpose, I know there exist several software suitable for text analysis and classification (f.i. I've been pointed to this one: http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/weka/). A couple of examples: 1. fallan I would like to mark the first 'a' in OE fallan as an /a/ and assign it to the OAngl dialect. 2. giong, geong, gong These are all graphical variants of an initial /jo/ diphtong, with geo- and gio- being graphical conventions to point to a palatal pronunciation of initial g. After the encoding is done the goal is to recover statistical information (via XSLT or specific sw analysis) about the percentages of dialect tracts in a text, so to draw conclusions about its origin, date, etc. Thanks in advance.

Mining Medieval Data
by Peter Stokes 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Dear all, I have a question about what tools and techniques people are using for data mining in medieval studies, especially for authorship attribution and scribal identification. If you use them then which systems do you use? How do you verify the results? Do you trust the system to work and not simply to reproduce your own views? If you don't use these systems then why not? I'm thinking of a recent article in LLC 23 (2008) by Sculley and Pasanek which seems to me to raise some important questions about the validity of data mining, but I'm also asking as a designer myself. If I'm producing software for scribal identification or authorship attribution, what can I do (if anything) that will convince you to use and trust my system?
