Call for Papers: Digital Medievalist Journal
by Daniel O'Donnell 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

Call for Papers [Please Cross-Post] The Digital Medievalist (DM) is a new on-line and refereed journal intended for medievalists working with digital media. The first issue is scheduled for publication this fall, with subsequent issues in Spring 2005 and Summer 2005. The journal is edited by the executive of the Digital Medievalist Project, hosts of the <dm-l(a)uleth.ca> mailing list: Peter Baker, Martin Foys, Murray McGillivray, Kenna Olsen, Daniel Paul O'Donnell, Roberto Rosselli del Turco, and Elizabeth Solopova. Our second issue will include a selection of papers on technological topics from Medieval Conferences in Kalamazoo and Leeds 2004 as well as other articles. DM accepts work of original research and scholarship, notes on technological topics, commentary pieces discussing developments in the field, bibliographic and review articles, and project reports describing beginning, on-going, or completed projects. Contributors may also describe tools and utilities they have developed, stylesheets, markup-methods, imaging techniques, project management methods, etc. Future editions will also contain reviews of publications, web-sites and digital projects. All contributions are refereed by authorities in humanities computing. Contributions to DM should concern topics likely to be of interest to medievalists working with digital media, though they need not be exclusively medieval in focus. Contributions should be of an appropriate length to the subject under discussion. We anticipate most will be between 1000 and 10,000 words. Our preferred format is TEI-Lite xml. If you would like to discuss alternative submission formats, please contact the editorial board. Submissions received by September 30, 2004 will be eligible for consideration for publication in the inaugural (Fall 2004) issue. Contributions received after that date may be considered for subsequent issues. Contact Addresses: For general enquiries, please contact the General Editor <daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca> or the editorial board <digitalmedievalist(a)uleth.ca>. Individual editors are also available to discuss contributions. Addresses and general areas of interests are listed below: Peter Baker <psb6m(a)virginia.edu>: Interface Design and Utilities Martin Foys <foys(a)hermes.hood.edu>: Images and Material Culture Murray McGillivray <mmcgilli(a)ucalgary.ca>: Structural Markup and Tools Daniel Paul O'Donnell <daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca>: General Editor; Structural Markup; Project Reports Kenna Olsen <klolsen(a)ucalgary.ca>: Review Editor Roberto Rosselli de Turco <rosselli(a)ling.unipi.it>: Bibliography, Resources, and References Elizabeth Solopova <elizabeth.solopova(a)bodley.ox.ac.uk>: Metadata and Text Analysis -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

Yes, it's up and running. Nice site too. I'm browsing with Mozilla Firefox 0.7.

Re: [dm-l] [Fwd: encoding maps, graphics with text?] Problemswith port 8080??
by Joris van.Zundert 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

Now I wonder what I am doing right (or wrong?) Still works fine overhere on the http://lingo.dcf.uvic.ca:8080/exist/graves/index.xml URL. http://lingo.dcf.uvic.ca does say 'PHP works' also to me. I usually do not have problems connecting to any portnumber. Very very odd indeed. Joris >>> peter.robinson(a)dmu.ac.uk 7/8/04 11:55:18 >>> I have tried with various browsers, but all naturally in Mac OS X, and from different places, and just cannot get through. I get 'the operation timed out when trying to connect to..' or just 'cannot connect to..' I am trying http://lingo.dcf.uvic.ca:8080/exist/graves/index.xml When I try just http://lingo.dcf.uvic.ca I get the cryptic 'PHP works'. ON the face of it, it looks like something to do with port 8080. And checking, I discover.. 1. I do not seem able to connect to any sites with 8080 2. But can connect to: 8000, 8081, etc 3. There is nothing in the settings in this computer which appears to bar access to any ports 8080. Netstat does not show anything running on a 8080 So very odd indeed Anyone else see this behaviour?

TAN: Spyware
by Daniel O'Donnell 07 Jul '04

07 Jul '04

Does anybody have a recommendation for a good anti-spyware program? I'm always reluctant just to download one on the theory that an anti-spyware program would be a good trojan horse. As far as I can tell, my antivirus program has done a good job in the past, but I should probably check specifically. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

I didn't get round to downloading Firefox 0.9.1, will do soon and report :-) In Firefox 0.7 it seems that the farther down the page you browse the higher in the browser window a yellow popup is positioned. So if I scroll down to the very bottom of a page and hover the cursor above e.g. "Laura" at the foot of a page, the yellow popup is displayed at the complete top of my browser window (so very much not near the "Laura" in question). Sometimes in such a case I can't see the the yellow popup, because it's seems to be depicted somewhere beyond the top of my browser window. A minor detail I guess, thought I'd mention it anyhow. Hope it's helpfull. I'm gonna call it a day now (it's 6.30 PM overhere ;-) s.y., Joris >>> mholmes(a)uvic.ca 7/7/04 18:15:45 >>> Hi there, At 08:26 AM 07/07/2004, you wrote: >Yes, it's up and running. Nice site too.

Our own researcher is having trouble accessing it from Paris (and is doing a presentation on it soon...) The yellow popups work fine for me in Firefox 0.9.1 -- I wonder if it's the older Firefox that's problematic? What problems do you see?

Any experience with standoff markup?
by Daniel O'Donnell 04 Jul '04

04 Jul '04

Does anybody have experience with standoff markup? That is the name given to markup, as I understand it, that is stored independently of the actual text in question. Is it currently possible even? -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel. (403) 329-2377 Fax.

Experience with Full Text Searching
by Daniel O'Donnell 02 Jul '04

02 Jul '04

Hello all, I have another question for the collective wisdom. What are people's experience with full text searching. We are building an xml-ised database of original journal articles. These will be retrievable using metadata tags like issue, author, key words, subjects, etc. The problem is that building full text retrieval capabilities into the same search engine will ultimately affect display times. I guess I have two questions: a) is full text searching of academic articles a sine qua non? I used to think everybody did it, but I've been looking a bit more and see it is less usual than I thought in the case of larger libraries. b) have people suggestions for incorporating full text searching into a document database. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.
