Hi all,
Anybody know of a script or parser that could convert HTML files INTO
mediawiki markup? We have a whole bunch of rescued wiki pages from
archive.org, but they are only the HTML display version. Cutting and
pasting the html into the mediawiki edit window isn't working as cleanly
as I thought it might, so I'm looking for something that would strip out
markup mediawiki doesn't accept.

Dear list members,
just a short reminder for the International Conference on
"Codicology and Palaeography in the Digital Age", taking place in Munich
03.07.2009 - 04.07.2009
The conference will focus on the challenges and consequences of using IT
and the internet for codicological and palaeographic research. The
authors of some selected articles of an anthology to be published this
summer by the Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE)
will present and discuss their excellent research results with scholars
and experts working on ancient books and manuscripts. The presentations
will be given on current issues in the following fields: manuscript
catalogues and descriptions, digitization of manuscripts, collaborative
systems of research on manuscripts, codicological databases, manuscript
catalogues, research based on digital resources, e-learning in
palaeography, palaeographic databases (characters, scripts, scribes),
(semi-) automatic recognition of scripts and scribes, digital tools for
transcriptions, visions and prototypes of other digital tools.
A panel discussion will be held with renowned exponents in the field of
codicology and palaeography and contributors of cutting edge research to
get an overview of the state of the art as well as to open up new
perspectives of codicological and palaeographic research in the “digital
age”.
The conference is open to the public. There will be no fee for the audience.

Digital Classicist/ICS Work in Progress Seminar, Summer 2009

We will discuss the technical realisation and efficiency of several
dimensions of detecting citations and apply them in the field of the
Plato's aftermath. Central parts of this presentation are graph based
approaches. Based on substantial experience of an ongoing collaboration
between researchers of Classical Studies and Computer Science we shall
also reflect on the different approaches to working with text.
A full abstract along with the series programme can be found at:
