[Fwd: On etexts and databases about women writers in cyberspace]

Since we have been talking about virtual piazzas and the like this seems like it might be relevant for us as well, though of course the projects are much later than us. Interestingly I was at the Renaissance Society of America meeting and similar things came up there. -d

Digital MGH
by Clemens Radl 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hi all, a couple of weeks ago I promised to enter a project description of the dMGH into the dm-l wiki. Finally, I managed to create a short page: <http://sql.uleth.ca/dmorgwiki/index.php/DMGH_%28digital_Monumenta_Germaniae…> (It's linked to from the "Projects"-page.) This is roughly a translation of our starting page at <http://www.dmgh.de>, which unfortunately is only available in German (as is our whole project site so far, but most of our texts are Latin anyway ;-) ). But note that it's not meant to be a literal translation. Usually I would not announce changes to the wiki on the list, but as the subject has already been on the list a few weeks ago, I thought this was appropriate. Also, this is meant to be an invitation -- especially for native English speakers -- to correct any obvious mistakes and any awkward phrases or word positions. I'm not sure when we are going to be able to present an internationalized version of the dMGH, so this page will probably serve as the major English reference to the dMGH for quite some time. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Clemens -- Clemens Radl Monumenta Germaniae Historica Projekt Digitale Monumenta (dMGH) Postfach 34 02 23 D - 80099 München +49 89 28638-2380

This year the host organization will be the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH), King's College London, UK. The international Computers, Literature and Philology (CLiP) conference focuses on the integration of Philology and Information Technology relevant to humanities computing communities involved in the study of Romance languages. The academic issues and projects are approached from a multicultural European perspective, so as to foment international collaboration in research and teaching. This conference can best be seen as a three-day seminar, in that there are no parallel sessions, there is as coherent an academic focus as possible and the participation of young scholars is actively encouraged.

virtual commons
by Daniel O'Donnell 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

At Kalamazoo last year, I heard a discussion of a project that was planning to use an virtual commons--i.e. a place where users could contribute to the development of the project through shared annotation, textual development, and the like (I think they actually described it as a piazza. As I understood the idea, and in discussion at the Digital Medievalist business meeting a couple of people mentioned similar proposal, the idea was to build what we might now think of as adding wiki-like capabilities to a larger, unified, scholarly project. Does anybody know of any scholarly projects that have actually implemented such virtual piazza-type interaction? I'm interested in projects that allows arbitrary users to contribute to the content, either with or without refereeing. -d

RE: virtual commons; was RE: dm-l Digest, Vol 20, Issue 7
by Scat 26 Mar '06

One such "virtual commons" discussed last year at Kalamazoo and the year before at Pisa was the one that a large international medieval historical education group, the Society for Creative Anachronism, was establishing for group discussion of medieval anthroponymy, toponymy, and heraldry, focussing on individual names and naming practices, especially in areas of cross-cultural contact, and on specific coats of arms. It is expected to be up and running by this fall; it's still in beta at present.
