A project to produce a digital publication of these texts is currently in progress at King’s College London, in association with colleagues in Libya, Italy and the U.S.A. (http://ircyr.kcl.ac.uk/). This paper discusses the issues surrounding the markup of these texts in EpiDoc XML and the possibilities of associating archaeological data with the epigraphic material. ALL WELCOME The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

Towards the Digital Squeeze: 3-D imaging of inscriptions and curse tablets (seminar)
by Gabriel Bodard 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Digital Classicist/Institute for Classical Studies Work in Progress Seminar, Summer 2008 Friday 18th July at 16:30, in Stewart House B9 (between Senate House & Russell Square) *Note room change* Ryan Baumann (University of Kentucky) 'Towards the Digital Squeeze: 3-D imaging of inscriptions and curse tablets' ALL WELCOME Creating records of inscriptions often serves multiple purposes, such as aiding interpretation, preservation, or dissemination. Traditionally, squeezes, sketches, and photographs have been the methods by which these representations have been made. This talk will explore the possibilities for epigraphic study offered by non-contact 3D digitization, which enables the ability to capture, distribute, and visualize the full geometric properties of an inscription. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

TEI Digitization/Membership benefit survey--last call for comment
by Daniel Paul O'Donnell 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hello all, The Text Encoding Initiative (www.tei-c.org) is exploring the feasibility of a benefit of membership in the form of a negotiated vendor discount for producing machine-readable, xml-encoded text in small- to medium-scale digitization projects. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey at the link below in order to provide us with information that would help us negotiate with vendors on the basis of an accurate assessment of the nature and extent of demand for such a benefit. Link to survey: https://lrcreport.lis.uiuc.edu/TEITITE2008 This is the last call for comment participation. We will be processing the forms this August and September and present the results at our members meeting, 6-8 November in King's College London: http://www.cch.kcl.ac.uk/cocoon/tei2008/index.html. Sincerely, Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Chair, Text Encoding Initiative http://www.tei-c.org/ Email: daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca

Computational Approaches to Human and Animal Movement (seminar)
by Mahony, Simon 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Digital Classicist/ICS Work in Progress Seminar, Summer 2008 Friday 4th July at 16:30, in Stewart House B3 (between Senate House & Russell Square) Andrew Bevan (UCL) Computational Approaches to Human and Animal Movement in the Archaeological Record **ALL WELCOME** The inferential leap between the static archaeological record and our explanation of dynamic past behaviours is always a challenging one, but computational and quantitative techniques can be of great assistance. In particular, they can provide useful insight on patterns of human and animal movement, by better characterising existing archaeological evidence, suggesting simple models of mobile decision-making or proposing expected patterns of movement against which the observed record can be compared. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

The discussion covers both complex html-publications and scholarly papers. Potential fragilities are noted in the infrastructures which support each type, and consideration is given to current developments in archiving which aim to rectify them.

Assistive technologies for Old English
by Peter Baker 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

I just got a query from someone about whether there exist any assistive technologies for Old English--she especially mentioned screen readers. I've never looked into this: I have no idea whether such technologies exist, or if they don't, what it would take to make a screen reader read Old English. Does anyone here have any knowledge or experience of this kind, suggestions for this person, or advice about possibly creating a tool for reading Old English aloud? Thanks, Peter Baker English Department University of Virginia
