Call for participation: AHRC ICT Methods Network Workshop on Historical Text Mining - 20 and 21 July 2006
by Hazel Gardiner 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Workshop on Historical Text Mining Thursday 20th and Friday 21st July 2006, Lancaster University, UK. http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/events/htm06/ Organisers: Paul Rayson (Lancaster University) and Dawn Archer (University of Central Lancashire) This is one of a series of workshops sponsored by the AHRC ICT Methods Network. We want to develop a network of scholars interested in 'Historical Text Mining' via a workshop for experts from the various fields: text mining and E-Science, corpus development and annotation, historical linguistics, dialectology and computational linguistics. We believe that a discussion relating to the effective text mining of historical data is particularly overdue and much needed, because of the growth in (historical) digital resources (e.g. Open Content Alliance, Google Print, Early English Books Online). We particularly want to better define the relationship between the text mining/E-Science community, who are often involved in applying basic techniques to large scale datasets, and the corpus linguistic community, who tend to apply data-driven linguistic analysis and annotation techniques to relatively small datasets. The 'Historical Text Mining' workshop will seek: * to raise awareness of the various techniques utilised and/or tools developed by researchers working within the various fields. * to make scholars who work with historical data aware of existing text mining techniques that are applicable to their research needs, * to familiarise such scholars with the use of these techniques and tools, by means of a series of tutorial sessions (e.g. GATE, WordSmith, VARD, VIEW, Wmatrix), * to investigate the problems of applying some "modern" large-scale corpus annotation and analysis techniques to historical data, and * to encourage/enable a roundtable discussion, with the ultimate aim of determining what needs to be done to improve historical text mining and (importantly) identify possible future workshops and collaborative projects. Participation is free but, since places are limited, we request that potential participants apply in advance, and explain why they wish to attend and what they expect from the workshop.

Call for Papers for the International Medieval Congress, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI 10-13 May 2007 The Collaboratory for Research in Computing For Humanities at the University of Kentucky, sponsors two sessions on: Laws in (Cyber)Space: We invite papers on any topic relating to the editing of medieval laws. We are especially interested in the particular problems of editing law texts (as opposed to editing other types of texts) and issues of editing in an electronic environment for digital publication and dissemination. We invite contributions on all sorts of law texts, including but not limited to laws municipal, confraternal, canon, and secular, and monastic regulations, in Latin and vernacular languages. If you have questions about this session, please contact Abigail Firey (afire2(a)uky.edu). Please send abstracts by 10 September 2006 via email to: Dot Porter (dporter(a)uky.edu) -- *************************************** Dot Porter, Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities University of Kentucky 351 William T.

Fwd: Image Encoding
by Dot Porter 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Hi List, I don't know what kind of overlap the DM list has with the TEI list, so apologies if this is the second time you've received this message. Though the issue of image encoding is of general interest to the electronic editing community I think it's of special interest to medievalists. Hope this is useful! Dot ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dot Porter <dporter(a)uky.edu> Date: Jun 8, 2006 3:29 PM Subject: Image Encoding To: tei mailing list <TEI-L(a)listserv.brown.edu> Hello List, At the TEI Council meeting last month, Conal Tuohy and I volunteered to do some footwork to look at how the TEI might improve its support for projects that include digital images. To this end, we've posted some material to the wiki and we invite everyone on the list to take a look, make suggestions (on the list, or through editing the wiki), and to think about how you would like to use the TEI to support your projects that include digital images - and, of course, share your thoughts with the rest of us. Here is a page that compiles some existing approaches to image encoding: those from the current TEI P5 Guidelines, the Draft Recommendations for TEI Digital Facsimiles (from 2001), the methods used by the EPPT and the UVic Image Markup Tool, and an untested system using METS to link TEI and images. If your current practice doesn't appear on this list, please feel free to add it. http://www.tei-c.org.uk/wiki/index.php/LegacyFacsimileMarkup The major concern for the last three approaches is how to link a section of an image to a section of text, the coordinates of a bounding box to a given TEI element. The main issues here are 1) where to store the coordinates 2) what syntax to use for the coordinates 3) how to link the image coordinates (and the identity of the image file itself) to the TEI element Since there is already a standard for describing image information in XML, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), I've also compiled a page looking at ways to use SVG in TEI to help provide support for image encoding. This page also looks at ways that TEI repeats functionality in SVG and suggests ways that TEI might incorporate elements from the SVG namespace rather than using different elements in the TEI namespace. http://www.tei-c.org.uk/wiki/index.php/TEI_to_SVG Both of these pages are still very much in draft form, but I hope that you find them interesting and that they are a good starting point for discussion. Thanks, Dot -- *************************************** Dot Porter, Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities University of Kentucky 351 William T.

Extended deadlines PhD Studentships
by Da Rold, Dr. O. 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

With apologies for cross-posting EXTENDED DEADLINE FOR FUNDED PhD STUDENTSHIPS ON 'ENGLISH MANUSCRIPTS 1060 TO 1220' PROJECT The deadline for applications for the two studentships attached to the AHRC-funded 'English Manuscripts 1060 to 1220' project has been extended to 14 August 2006. The studentships are open to UK and EU nationals. Please tell any students you know who might be interested in applying for the Leicester or Leeds studentship, or for both. We're particularly interested in applications from students who have experience in Old or Middle English literary/linguistic/manuscript studies. If you know students who have already made regular AHRC PhD applications, do tell them that they're welcome to apply for an English Manuscripts project studentship as well, since by the time we announce our decision, the AHRC is likely to have made its own announcements to applicants for its regular PhD studentships. Full details of the studentships can be found at http://www.le.ac.uk/ee/em1060to1220/index.htm. Potential applicants who would like to discuss the studentships are very welcome to contact Elaine Treharne (emt1(a)leicester.ac.uk) or Mary Swan (m.t.swan(a)leeds.ac.uk) directly.
