CfP: Computer-Assisted Text Analysis for Resource-Scarce Literatures
by Georg Vogeler 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Name: Susanna Allés Torrent Email: susanna_alles(a)miami.edu Article Title: Computer-Assisted Text Analysis for Resource-Scarce Literatures Post type: Call for Papers Post: Computer-Assisted Text Analysis for Resource-Scarce Literatures 24-25 April 2019 University of Miami, FL Call for Papers This two-day symposium aims to bring together scholars and researchers working with computational approaches to texts. The event targets a broad audience interested in the application of digital text analysis technology, as text mining, topic modeling, authorship detection, writing style analysis, text reuse, or more generally tasks performed through Natural Language Processing (NLP). These techniques have significant potential not only for the study of literature but also for the study of texts and language in general. The symposium aims to create an open forum for showcasing these techniques. The event is also grounded in the idea that computational text analysis should be integrated not only in the academic research by faculty and their PhD students, but also in a pedagogical environment. The use of computational analysis opens up new questions in literary studies, and exposes students to many different ways of thinking about literature today. Computer-aided literary studies still thus tend to be focused on literatures written in modern languages. NLP tools are quite developed for modern languages, especially for the modern English language. For medieval and premodern languages, due to their instability of orthographic forms, attempts to conduct computer-aided (thus, to a degree, systematic) research face many challenges to normalize and standardize their linguistic forms. Therefore, the symposium also aims to explore the use and challenge of using NLP tools for studying literatures written in underrepresented and historical languages, such as the medieval and premodern variants and precursors of Spanish, French, Latin, and Dutch. Therefore, a special focus will be on the preprocessing routines available for these texts, such as lemmatization, by which we collect inflected forms under a single item or lemma, as well as challenges faced normalizing orthographic variation of historical texts and other languages with unstable orthographies. Among the international and national speakers we will have several experts on the topic. Our envisioned program for the symposium is as follows: On the first day, there will be several workshops, including one devoted to integrating computer-assisted analysis in the classroom, which will offer an introduction to stylometry, visualization, and text-reuse. On the second day, there will be talks (30 min) that present ongoing research projects, methodologies, and challenges. The subject languages are preferably, but not limited to underrepresented and historical languages. We are specifically interested in receiving proposals for contributions on one or more of the following topics: Stylometry for authorship studies Stylometry as an approach to literary study Natural Language Processing and linguistic annotation Lemmatizers for underrepresented modern languages and old languages Text reuse detection Normalization Distributional semantics Network analysis Text visualization We especially welcome contributions from those working with any type of textual corpora, preferably those conceived for a specific research and/ from a diachronic perspective. We conceive this symposium as an opportunity to share (best)-practices and broaden conversation, thus proposals can be on ongoing and experimental methodologies.

Ege no. 29 reconstructed in Fragmentarium
by Lisa Fagin Davis 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

Dear Friends, I'm writing to share my Simmons Library Science students' final project, a reconstruction of Ege's "Fifty Original Leaves" no 29 using the Fragmentarium interface. As with last year's project on Ege no. 30, each student was assigned one leaf of no. 29 to catalogue in Fragmentarium. Then we worked together in class to put the leaves in the correct order, using Fragmentarium to reassemble the manuscript. We used the Schoenberg Database to look for records of the manuscript when it was whole (we couldn't find any with certainty). The final step was to analyze the reconstructed manuscript to see if we had enough evidence to determine Use - although we only had Compline from the Hours of the Virgin and so not enough evidence for Use there, we had nearly all of the Matins responsories from the Office of the Dead and were able to determine that the manuscript is Use of Rome. Those of you with one of Ege's "Fifty Original Leaves" portfolios in your collection may wish to update your record for no. 29 to indicate the Use. Feel free to add the link to the reconstruction as well: FOL 29: https://fragmentarium.ms/overview/F-waaj Now, while I will grant you that this particular manuscript is hardly going to make art-historical waves or have any major liturgical significance, the project was a huge success from a pedagogical standpoint. My students determined the contents of each leaf by identifying the liturgy, worked together to put the leaves of each section in the right order, and used both the updated Madan tests and the online version of Ottosen to analyze the liturgy. They learned how to work in a IIIF/shared canvas environment, how to work with VIAF and other authorities, and how to parse and catalogue a Book of Hours. Their individual records are online and public (I've proof-read all of them) with persistent URLs, something for their resumes as they begin looking for library jobs. If/when more leaves come to light, they can easily be added. The images we've used, some of which are phone-camera snapshots, can be easily replaced if/when better images become available. While many of the leaves are online in their home institution's digital repository, none of those images are IIIF-compliant yet. If/when any of them make that transition, I intend to use Fragmentarium's IIIF feature to import them directly, replacing the image-files we uploaded to the Fragmentarium server. In the meantime, the Fragmentarium records for individual leaves include URLs of home-repository records if they exist. This is the fourth Book of Hours reconstruction I've worked on with my students - we've done Ege 29, 30, 47, and 48 so far. In case you're interested, here are the other links: FOL 30: https://fragmentarium.ms/overview/F-djs6 FOL 47: https://lis464.omeka.net/ FOL 48: https://fol48.omeka.net/ Next year, we'll work on FOL 31. I hope you are all well, and I wish you all the best in 2019!

Call for Reviews: "Tools and Environments for Digital Scholarly Editing"
by Franz Fischer 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

Dear digital medievalists, The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) is calling for reviews for a special issue of the journal RIDE, dedicated to Tools and Environments for Digital Scholarly Editing (DSE): https://www.i-d-e.de/cfr-tools/ To guide reviewers through the review process and to create a structure for the evaluation, we provide Criteria for Reviewing Digital Tools and Environments for DSE that are supposed to be applicable to various types of resources. The guidelines (Version 1.0) can be found here: https://www.i-d-e.de/publikationen/weitereschriften/criteria-tools-version-… Reviews will be accepted until the 31st of May 2019. We kindly ask you to email us before start reviewing a tool at ride-tools (at) i-d-e.de with a suggestion of which resource you would like to review and with a short explanation of your affiliation and area of expertise. This is important in order to avoid multiple reviews of the same tool. Background In the introduction to his book Software takes command (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2013) Lev Manovich states that "software has become our interface to the world, to others, to our memory and our imagination". Is the same happening in the world of digital scholarly editing? Certainly we cannot ignore their fundamental role in our daily scholarly practices and in the interactions with our objects of study. Insofar as tools shape scholarly editions, they also shape scholarly editing. A new RIDE issue is devoted to tools for digital scholarly editing. The aim of this issue is to: * contribute to the discussion about tooling in Digital Humanities, * bring to the forefront the instruments instead of the final products, * provide a venue for discussing best practices in the development and usage of tools, * list useful resources for all those involved in scholarly editing. Beyond that, we hope that the critical examination of digital tools draws greater attention to the (scholarly) achievements that their creation and maintenance imply. The journal RIDE was founded in 2014 to "provide a forum in which expert peers criticise and discuss the efforts of digital editors in order to improve current practices and advance future developments" (RIDE Editorial). RIDE is Open Access, reviews are published as HTML and downloadable as TEI. All reviews will be peer reviewed in order to reach a high quality level of the evaluations. The special issue on Digital Tools and Environments for DSE will be edited by Anna-Maria Sichani (University of Sussex) and Elena Spadini (University of Lausanne). Submission details Reviews are accepted in English, French, Italian, and Spanish. The length of the review can vary depending on how much the resource offers that is worthy of discussion (approximately 2000-5000 words). Please submit your review at ride-tools (at) i-d-e.de as an editable text file (preferably, but not necessarily docx to facilitate the conversion to TEI). Please send illustrations as separate image files (jpg or png) and leave a note in the text as a placeholder for each image. In addition to the text, we collect keywords. Each review should be accompanied by a short abstract in English, independently of the language used in the main text. For further information please check the general RIDE guidelines and information on writing and submitting: http://ride.i-d-e.de/reviewers/guidelines/ http://ride.i-d-e.de/reviewers/writing-and-submitting/ The questionnaire mentioned in the submission checklist has been designed for scholarly digital editions so far. We will keep you informed about how to proceed with the questionnaire for this special issue. All reviews will be peer reviewed in order to reach a high quality level of the evaluations. We believe that this is important because the evaluation of digital scholarly resources usually requires a double expertise in digital methods as well as in individual disciplines. This is also to increase the credit for reviews.
