Digital Humanities and Papyrology / Linked Open Data and Cultural Contact (2 seminars)
by Gabriel BODARD 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Institute of Classical Studies Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU Friday June 30, 2017 at 16:30 in room 234 Two short presentations: 1) *The role of Digital Humanities in Papyrology: Practices and user needs in papyrological research* Lucia Vannini (Institute of Classical Studies) The development of digital tools and methods has led to significant changes to traditional research in the Humanities, affecting scholars’ ways of organising and analysing information. Also, the wish to support researchers’ new needs has consequently grown: examinations of their practices have been conducted in order to build efficient and usable resources. This presentation focuses on the information I have gathered, through interviews and user observations, on the behaviour of papyrologists in the digital age: on their practices involved in searching digital collections, in the use and management of their data, and in the creation of new knowledge. http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2017-05lv.html ———————————————————————————————————— 2) *Cultural Contact in Early Roman Spain through Linked Open Data resources* Paula Granados García (Open University) Although the Romanisation debate seems to be settled in English-language scholarship, other countries, such as Spain, have only just started to revise traditional discourses. During the 1900s, Spanish studies on Romanisation focused mainly on documentation of the immense amount of evidence from the Imperial perspective. This work is being re-examined through new methodologies and perspectives. Novel initiatives are emerging that aim to look at this cultural encounter from the eyes of the colonised. My research explores the possibilities offered by Linked Open Data and the Semantic Web to connect, share and make available large amounts of data regarding the question of cultural interaction. http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2017-05pgg.html ———————————————————————————————————— *Both seminars will be livecast on YouTube at https://youtu.be/-hL2bKOVeos * ALL WELCOME -- Dr Gabriel BODARD Reader in Digital Classics Institute of Classical Studies University of London Senate House Malet Street London WC1E 7HU E: gabriel.bodard(a)sas.ac.uk T: +44 (0)20 78628752 http://digitalclassicist.org/

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).
