Updated version of the online charter database Diplomata Belgica
by Els De Paermentier 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Dear digital medievalists, The president and members of the Royal Historical Commission of Belgium are happy to announce the updated version of the online charter database Diplomata Belgica, now available at http://www.diplomata-belgica.be? Diplomata Belgica offers a critical survey of all the diplomatic sources, edited or still unpublished, and issued by both natural persons and legal bodies from the medieval Southern Low Countries. Diplomata Belgica covers present day Belgium as well as those areas which belonged historically to the Southern Low Countries but are part now of France (French Flanders, French Hainault), the Netherlands (parts of the provinces of Zeeland, Noord-Brabant, Limburg), the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, or Germany (parts of the Rhineland). At this stage, Diplomata Belgica contains metadata of about 35,000 charters and deeds in Latin, Old-French, Middle Dutch and Middle High German, almost 19,000 full text transcriptions and 5,000 photographs of original charters. As for the seals, the database also provides links to the online corpus of seal moulds developed by the National Archives of Belgium. Diplomata Belgica aims at exhaustivity for the period before 1250 and will, in the future, also include late medieval diplomatic material, without striving after completeness. Diplomata Belgica. The Diplomatic Sources from the Medieval Southern Low Countries, ed. by Thérèse de Hemptinne, Jeroen Deploige, Jean-Louis Kupper and Walter Prevenier (Brussels: Royal Historical Commission, since 2015).

10th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 2-4, 2017 Intertwined Worlds In partnership with the Rare Book Department<https://libwww.freelibrary.org/rarebooks/index.cfm> of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies (SIMS<http://schoenberginstitute.org/>) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 10th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. Despite the linguistic and cultural complexity of many regions of the premodern world, religion supplies the basis of a strong material and textual cohesion that both crosses and intertwines boundaries between communities. This year's theme, "Intertwined Worlds," will highlight the confluence of expressions of belief, ritual, and social engagement emerging in technologies and traditions of the world's manuscript cultures, often beyond a single religious context. It will consider common themes and practices of textual, artistic, literary, and iconographic production in religious life across time and geography, from ancient precedents to modern reception and dissemination in the digital age. For more information, go to: http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium10.html . Registration opens in August. Participants include: * Iqbal Akhtar, Florida International University * Paul Dilley, University of Iowa * Benjamin Fleming, University of Pennsylvania * Ellen Gough, Emory University * Thibaud d'Hubert, University of Chicago * Ayesha Irani, University of Massachusetts, Boston * Shazia Jagot, University of Southern Denmark * Samantha Kelly, Rutgers University * Jinah Kim, Harvard University * Sabine Schmidtke, Institute for Advanced Studies * Gila Prebor, Bar-Ilan University * Michael Pregil, Boston University * Michael Stanley-Baker, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science * Columba Stewart, Hill Museum and Manuscript Library * Tyler Williams, University of Chicago * Saymon Zakaria, Bangla Academy, Dhaka * Maayan Zhitomirsky-Geffet, Bar-Ilan University

Seminar: Linked Data and Ancient World Research: studying past projects from a user perspective
by Vitale, Valeria 31 May '17

31 May '17

Institute of Classical Studies Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU Friday June 2, 2017 at 16:30 in room 234 *Sarah Middle (Open University)* Linked Data and Ancient World Research: studying past projects from a user perspective Linked Data connects digital objects based on common features, and has the potential to transform Ancient World research; however, this approach is still not widely used, and my research explores why this might be the case. This paper explains how I converted publicly-available data on AHRC-funded projects to Linked Data, facilitating detailed queries to identify potential case studies. I will discuss several of these (Pelagios 4, SNAP:DRGN, and STAR, STELLAR and SENESCHAL) from a user perspective, as well as evaluating the usability of the linked AHRC data. Additionally, I will present my initial findings and their potential implications for future projects. digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2017-01sm.html ALL WELCOME Valeria Vitale Institute of Classical Studies, Research Fellow Senate House, Malet Street London WC1E 7HU Pelagios Commons Community Manager commons.pelagios.org<http://commons.pelagios.org/>
