Help to identify innovative digital projects in the humanities
by beden＠ccmail.nevada.edu 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

Hello, everyone. I am writing a Library Technology Report for the American Library Association on innovative digital projects in the humanities. I would be interested in any innovative digital projects that you feel incorporate interesting content with fascinating and state-of-the-art technology in the humanities. This includes websites, CDs, 2D and 3D presentations, etc. Please forward information to me personally (not to the listserv). Thanks for your attention.

[Fwd: DRH2005 -- Digital Resources for the Humanities 2005 CFP]
by James Cummings 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: DRH2005 -- Digital Resources for the Humanities 2005 CFP Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2005 22:57:40 +0000 From: Michael Fraser <mike.fraser(a)computing-services.oxford.ac.uk> Reply-To: mike.fraser(a)computing-services.oxford.ac.uk To: TEI-L(a)LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU **** First Announcement and call for proposals: DRH 2005 **** DRH 2005: Digital Resources for the Humanities University of Lancaster, UK 4th - 8th September 2005 IMPORTANT DATES: * 31st January 2005: proposals can be submitted via the electronic submission form at the conference website. * 28th February, 2005: Deadline for submission of abstracts * 15th April, 2005: Notification of acceptance of papers, sessions, posters and workshops * April 2005: Registration opens * May 2005: Provisional programme announced. Conference Web Site: http://www.drh.org.uk The DRH conferences have established themselves firmly in the UK and international calendar as a major forum bringing together scholars, postgraduate students, librarians, archivists, curators, information scientists and computing professionals in a unique and positive way, to share ideas and information about the creation, exploitation, use, management and preservation of digital resources in the arts and humanities. At this, the tenth DRH conference, we plan to encourage papers and sessions that focus on critical evaluation of the use of digital resources in the arts and humanities. What has the impact really been? What kinds of methodologies are being used? What are the assumptions that underlie our work? How do we know that the work that we accomplish is truly new and innovative? How does technology change the way that we work? The Conference will also address some of the key emerging themes and strategic issues that engagement with ICT is bringing to scholarly research in the arts and humanities, with a particular focus on advanced research methods. The kinds of questions that we would like to see addressed might include the following: what sort of research does ICT in the arts and humanities enable researchers to do that could not be done before at all? Does this enable 'old' research to be done in a significantly new way? In what ways does the technology serve the scholarship? Similarly, what are the key aspects of virtual research environments ("cyberinfrasture") which can facilitate collaborative research? Proposals for individual papers, sessions, workshops and posters are invited, and the abstract submission system at the conference website will be accepting proposals from January 31st, 2005. Types of presentation for which proposals are invited: Papers Proposals for papers should be no less than 750 words. Papers will be allocated 30 minutes for presentation, including questions. Sessions Sessions (90 minutes) take the form of either: Three papers. The session organizer should submit a 500-word statement describing the proposed session topic, and include abstracts of no less than 750 words for each paper. The session organizer must also indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session; or A panel of four to six speakers. The panel organizer should submit an abstract of 750-1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. Poster Presentations Poster presentations may include computer technology and project demonstrations. Posters presentations may be a more suitable way of presenting late-breaking results, or significant work in progress. There should be no difference in quality between poster presentations and papers, and both will be submitted to the same refereeing process. As an acknowledgement of the special contribution of the posters to the conference, the Programme Committee will once again award a prize for the best poster presentation. The Local Organising Committee is headed by Tony McEnery and Andrew Hardie, Department of Linguistics and English Language, University of Lancaster. Please contact the local organizers with any questions about registration or conference arrangements at Lancaster: drhconf(a)lancaster.ac.uk The chair of the Programme Committee is Lorna Hughes, Assistant Director for Humanities Computing, New York University. Please contact the Programme Chair with any questions about submitting abstracts, or about the reviewing process: (Lorna.Hughes(a)nyu.edu). Please visit http://www.drh.org.uk for regularly updated details about the conference and, for information on how to submit proposals. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dr James Cummings, Oxford Text Archive, University of Oxford James dot Cummings at oucs dot ox dot ac dot uk

RE: [dm-l] Form-based methods of building xml?
by Peter.Binkley＠ualberta.ca 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

I use Cocoon a lot, and for a particular project I've built a system similar to what you describe. I run an instance of Cocoon on my laptop, which serves out html forms to my browser, populated with info from a particular xml file. When I submit a form, another pipeline writes the results back to the original XML file, using the Source Writing Transformer (http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/transformers/sourcewriting-transf ormer.html). This allows me to use the amazing power of Cocoon Forms to manage the mapping from the source xml to the form and back again (http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/forms/sample.html). It would probably be overkill to pick up Cocoon from scratch for this purpose, but maybe you've been looking for an opportunity to try Cocoon?

Form-based methods of building xml?
by Daniel O'Donnell 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Hi all, Does anybody know of a good method for form-based xml-file construction? I am looking for something to use on a local (winxp) machine. Like most people I have a number of files that are written either through accretion (e.g. like a CV) or that consist largely of boiler plate with minor customisation (e.g. class schedules, web-pages, etc.). I'm in the process of converting these to xml from various formats, as I hope to gain some real efficiencies. My question whether anybody can suggest a good method for adding marked up text to such files using a form. The CV is probably the best case: I'd like to have a form that allows me to read in the existing material, enter the new item, and have the expanded document as output. In the past I've used javascript and HTML forms to build standard webpages, and emacs form-mode to build simple form-based database entry mechanisms. Since I'm basically looking for a very simple way of adding markup to highly standard text, I'm trying to avoid using a spreadsheet as an intermediate. In fact I'm probably looking for a combination of the emacs-style forms (which import or create datafiles and allow users to easily update existing data) and a java-script type solution that allows me to add markup around form-field contents. Any suggestions? -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel. (403) 329-2377 Fax.

Thanks all
by Daniel O'Donnell 11 Dec '04

11 Dec '04

Thanks very much for prompt and helpful replies. I'm off skiing today, and so can't try the various suggestions out until this evening, but they look pretty right. They certainly diagnosed missing elements in my sheets. To sum up: The problem I was having involved additional material being put in my output (namespaces, extra lines of meta information) and the stripping out of the solidus in empty elements (e.g. <br> for expected <br/>). The solutions (I'm pretty sure they will work) involved 1) specifying xhtml or xml as my output, e.g. <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/> 2) if necessary, using the <xsl:element> element instead of plain text for entering the xhtml tagging. Again, thanks. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel. (403) 329-2377 Fax.

TAN: XSLT Question
by Daniel O'Donnell 10 Dec '04

10 Dec '04

Hello all, I have an XSLT question: I want a stylesheet to reproduce the following html tags (i.e. this is what is in my sheet): <head profile="http://www.url.net"> <br/> <meta content="some content"/> What I get as an output is: <head xmlns="" profile="http://www.url.net"> [i.e. extra namespace] <br> [i.e. no solidus] <meta content="some content"> [i.e. no solidus] Anybody know why this happens or how to turn it off? It is the only thing stopping my files from validating. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel. (403) 329-2377 Fax.

[Fwd: Manuscript description]
by Lou Burnard 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Manuscript description Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 12:46:55 +0100 From: M. J. Driscoll <mjd(a)hum.ku.dk> Reply-To: mjd(a)hum.ku.dk To: TEI-L(a)LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU The next version of the TEI Guidelines, P5, will contain a major new chapter on manuscript description. Although developed with the needs of manuscript scholars working in the European tradition, it is hoped that the scheme presented there is general enough so that it can also be extended to other kinds of materials and other traditions. The tagset documented in the chapter is based chiefly on that developed by MASTER (1999-2001), an EU-funded project headed by Peter Robinson, and the work of the TEI Medieval Manuscripts Description Work Group (1998-2000), headed by Consuelo Dutschke and Ambrogio Piazzoni. Although the work of these two groups proceeded in tandem (members of each attending the other's meetings and so on), and despite an avowed intention that a single set of recommendations should emerge from them, there were, in the end, substantial discrepancies between the two. In 2002 the TEI Council appointed a special task-force whose job was to review both sets of proposals and identify and document a common subset of those recommendations adequate to the needs of the TEI community, taking into account the actual experience of the many projects using MASTER as well as complementary work done in this area by other agencies, notably the Repertorium of Old Bulgarian Literature and Letters. The result, we believe, is not simply a "common subset" of the two schemes, but rather represents a significant improvement on both, which at the same time lays the foundation for future work. A draft of the chapter is now available for comment on the TEI website: http://www.tei-c.org.uk/Activities/MS/ Specific suggestions, corrections, enhancements (i.e. "feature requests") should be sent to http://tei.sourceforge.net/, while general comments can be posted to the TEI-L list or to the undersigned. We ask for volunteers interested in working on conversion of legacy data to the new format, and would be keen to receive examples which could be used in the chapter. Finally, although the major strength of the scheme we propose is that it offers the choice between loosely structured and highly structured data at every level, it is clear that there are still areas (chiefly specific aspects of physical bibliography) for which more richly structured content models need to be developed and we would therefore be keen to hear from people who might be interested in proposing such models.
