This might interest the digital medievalist community as well: -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CO:OPyright. Challenges and Practices of Copyright and Licensing of Digital Cultural Heritage (April 12 & 13, University of Graz, AT) Datum: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 07:37:33 +0000 Von: Kerstin Muff <kerstin.muff(a)icar-us.eu> An: info(a)icar-us.eu <info(a)icar-us.eu> Dear colleagues, please be kindly invited to the conference CO:OPyright. Challenges and Practices of Copyright and Licensing of Digital Cultural Heritage April 12 & 13, 2017 University of Graz, RESOWI (Universitätsstraße 15) http://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at/de/veranstaltungen/coopyright/ The conference is hosted by the Centre for Information Modelling - Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and the Institute of the Foundations of Law, Section 'Law and ICT' at the University of Graz (Austria). In the age of digital information technology and the constant availability of information through the Internet, it is not only important to have democratic access to knowledge, but also essential to consider the potential that lies in the critical production and expansion of knowledge. The CO:OP project - short for Community as Opportunity: the creative archives' and users' network<http://coop-project.eu/> - co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union aims to strengthen and promote the co-operation between institutions preserving our common cultural heritage and the general public. Of particular interest and concern to cultural heritage institutions are issues of copyright on, provision of and access to digitized material. There is a recognizable political drive in the European Union to facilitate public access to cultural heritage - and data in general - hosted at public institutions. However, the lack of legal harmonization and the often unclear national legislations on the use and provision of resources by public cultural heritage or scientific institutions has been prohibiting a much broader engagement between the general public and its own cultural heritage. The conference includes three pre-conference workshops and a full day of presentations by both legal experts and cultural heritage experts. Please find the detailed programme in the attached PDF or online at http://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at/de/veranstaltungen/coopyright/ Participation in the Conference and the Workshops is FREE, but registration is required.

NEH Institute reminder: application deadline approaching!
by Birnbaum, David J 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Reminder: application deadline approaching! __ MAKE _YOUR_ EDITION: MODELS AND METHODS FOR DIGITAL TEXTUAL SCHOLARSHIP Call for applications: Summer 2017 NEH Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities DEADLINES: Applications are due Tuesday, February 28, 2017. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by March 15, 2017. INSTITUTE DATES: July 10-29, 2017 Synopsis The University of Pittsburgh is pleased to invite applications to an NEH Advanced Institute in the Digital Humanities for summer 2017 entitled _Make YOUR edition: models and methods of digital textual scholarship_. The target audience for this workshop is digital textual scholars who are already comfortable editing their texts (in TEI XML or comparable alternatives); the goal of the Institute is to assist them in moving beyond textual editing to imagining, creating, and publishing research-driven, theoretically and methodologically innovative digital editions. Rationale Digital humanists already have access to workshops and tutorials to help them learn to transcribe, edit, and tag a text in preparation for publishing a digital edition. These training resources play a vital role in empowering editors to formalize and instantiate their interpretations as markup, so as to make them available for subsequent analysis. Nonetheless, sophisticated markup expertise alone is not enough to make an edition, and learning nothing more than tagging may leave scholars staring at their angle brackets and wondering what to do next. For some a solution like TEI Tapas provides an adequate next step, but for those who wish to ask new types of questions of their documents, and to produce new types of editions that enable new types of research, an understanding of how to turn a set of tagged texts into a customized edition that meets individualized research goals is crucial. Digital humanists cannot build editions that break new methodological ground solely on the basis of solutions prepared largely by others, and the focus of this Institute is on the creation of digital editions motivated by project-specific research questions and implemented from a perspective driven first by theory of edition, second by editorial methodology, and necessarily but less importantly by specific toolkits. In this respect we foreground not learning a particular programming language or technology or framework, but learning to think and act digitally about the process of creating a digital edition. Because tools and technologies come and go, the Institute emphasizes learning to translate original digital thinking about editions into implementations of those editions, rather than on ³tooling up² in the context of currently popular frameworks. In this respect, the Institute recognizes thinking digitally in ways driven by project-specific research goals as the most important feature of _sustainable Digital Humanities training and education_. Program The Institute will introduce textual and manuscript scholars to a powerful and broad-reaching skill set of digital methods and technologies, grounded in a context that prioritizes a research-driven theory of edition. The course moves in a three-week succession from novice to experienced level, and from base textual data to full digital publication of scholarly editions. The Institute assumes that participants will have meaningful prior experience in digital editing (in TEI XML or a comparable framework), but it makes no other assumptions about prior knowledge or skills. - An optional first-week _boot camp_ establishes basic infrastructure skills (operating comfortably at the command line, handling files, navigating file systems, sharing resources and code responsibly, running Python programs from the command line, etc.). - The second week allows participants to practice and advance their basic skills when they start combining digital textual scholarship theory (e.g., McGann 20041, Andrews 20122, Siemens 20123, Robinson 20134, Haentjens et al. 20155) with standard (e.g., XML, Python, Jupyter Notebooks) and advanced digital technologies (e.g., StemmaWeb, CollateX, Neo4j, Tinkerpop, eXist-db). - By the end of the third week, participants will be able to conceptualize from theory a perspective on digital textual scholarship and digital scholarly editions. They will also know how to go about planning and implementing such an edition by engaging programmatically and algorithmically with digital data, handling it computationally, and querying, analyzing, and transforming it into visualizations that transcend the digital translation of a text as a codex. The Institute will meet at the main (Oakland) campus of the University of Pittsburgh from Monday, July 10, 2017 through Friday, July 28, 2017 and will draw on an international faculty of distinguished scholars, practitioners, and teachers of digital philology from several collaborating institutions. On Saturday, July 29, 2017 there will be an optional pedagogical review of the Institute, designed to assist participants in organizing and conducting their own workshops at their home institutions. Instructors - Tara Andrews (Institute of History, University of Vienna) - David J. Birnbaum (Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, University of Pittsburgh) - Hugh Cayless (Duke Collaboratory for Classics Computing [DC3], Duke University) - Ronald Haentjens Dekker (Huygens Institute, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) - Na-Rae Han (Department of Linguistics, University of Pittsburgh) - Mike Kestemont (Department of Literature, University of Antwerp) - Leif-Jöran Olsson (Department of Swedish Language, University of Gothenburg) The instructors will be assisted by: - Gabrielle (Gabi) Keane (Senior Undergraduate Institute Assistant, University of Pittsburgh) - Kaylen Sanders (Junior Undergraduate Institute Assistant, University of Pittsburgh) Details Applications are invited for the full three-week Institute or, in the case of those who are already comfortable with the types of first-week topics described above, for just the second and third weeks. Applicants should already be proficient with digital textual editing in TEI XML or similar technologies, and should be seeking guidance and training in how to move their texts into innovative digital editions that will enable them to explore project-specific research questions. Evidence of meaningful prior hands-on digital textual editing experience is required, but prior experience in programming for textual exploration and publication is not. Applicants who do not have prior experience with the Python programming language must agree to complete a recommended free online introductory Python course before the beginning of the Institute, for which the Institute will maintain its own support and discussion board. For budgetary reasons, preference will be given to applications from within North America. Participants accepted to the Institute will receive a travel allowance, complimentary accommodation in single-occupancy dormitory rooms, and a complimentary meal plan in the University Dining Services in lieu of per diem. Access to the University libraries, computer labs, and networked digital resources will also be provided. Participants must bring their own laptops (Windows 710, Mac OS, or Ubuntu/Debian Linux). We welcome scholars at all career levels from advanced graduate students through senior faculty. Applications to the Institute should include the following: - A one- to two-page statement about how participation in the Institute will enhance the scholarly and professional goals of the applicant. This statement should describe the digital edition project that the applicant plans to pursue or undertake, with special attention to the research questions motivating the creation of that edition. Preference will be shown to applications that articulate a clear understanding of the textual research potential of digital scholarly editions. - A one-page description of the applicant¹s experience with textual editing. Prior experience in programming for text processing is neither required nor expected, but those who have such experience should describe it here. - Brief CV (maximum of two pages), concentrating on textual editing and Digital Humanities experience. - Indicate whether you are applying for the full three weeks or only for the second and third, and in the latter case please describe your background in the areas related to those described above as part of the ³boot camp² week. - Indicate whether you wish to participate in the optional one-day pedagogical review of the course on Saturday, July 29. - Participants are required to participate full-time in the Institute for the two or three weeks that they are in residence, and must confirm that they will not undertake other significant commitments during the Institute period. All application materials should be submitted by email as a single PDF file to djbpitt+neh(a)pitt.edu. The deadline for applications is Tuesday, February 28, 2017, and applicants will be notified by March 15, 2017. Questions may be directed to djbpitt+neh(a)pitt.edu. David J.

UCLDH seminar: From Busa to Word Formation. Working on language resources for Latin in Milan
by Simon Mahony 04 Mar '17

04 Mar '17

A UCLDH seminar that will be of interest to many on this list. *Eleonora Litta (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan)* *'From Busa to Word Formation. Working on language resources for Latin in Milan'** * *5:30 Wednesday 8th March** **Room 132, first floor, Foster Court, UCL, Malet Place, LONDON, WC1E 7JE * CIRCSE <http://centridiricerca.unicatt.it/circse-home?rdeLocaleAttr=en>is a pluri- and interdisciplinary research centre at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore <http://www.ucsc.it/>(Milan, Italy). The main research interests of the centre are in the field of natural language processing and information extraction from written language texts in electronic form. Originally founded by padre Roberto Busa, pioneer of computational linguistics on Latin textual material, the centre now hosts the Index Thomisticus Treebank <http://itreebank.marginalia.it/>, and other resources connected to it, and the morphological analyser and lemmatiser LEMLAT <http://www.ilc.cnr.it/lemlat/lemlat/index.html>, together with its brand-new spin-off, the Word Formation Latin (WFL) <http://wfl.marginalia.it/> lexicon. Word Formation Latin is a derivational morphology resource for Latin that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 658332-WFL. The contents of WFL are lexical items (lemmas) related on the basis of word formation rules (WFRs). For example, lemmas amo (‘to love) and amator (‘lover’) are connected by a relationship that describes a change from a verb to a noun through the addition of a suffix that in itself bears semantic information: agent and instrumental suffix -tor. The seminar will give a brief tour of what goes on in Milan before looking in more detail at how derivational morphology information can be crucial for the enrichment of NLP resources for Latin, how the WFL lexicon came to be, what it looks like, and how scholars and enthusiasts of Latin can use it for their research. All welcome and there will be drinks and discussion after the talk. Please note that registration <https://ucldhseminarlitta.eventbrite.co.uk> is required.

FW: Announcing the launch of REED Online
by James Cummings 04 Mar '17

FYI ==== ANNOUNCING THE LAUNCH OF REED ONLINE The Records of Early English Drama (REED) project is delighted to announce the launch of *REED Online* (http://ereed.library.utoronto.ca), its new open-access website. The site features REED's first digital edition of dramatic records for the county of Staffordshire, encoded in TEI. Easily searched with a number of useful filters, online records appear conveniently on the same page as their translations, document descriptions, and any glosses or related endnotes. GIS mapping based on the *Patrons and Performances* map of historic county boundaries and main roads illuminates significant details further. For students and those new to records research, search tips, an introduction to the research process, and an anatomy of a sample record provide a welcoming guide. The *Staffordshire* records, edited by J.A.B. Somerset, are found in scattered collections, but they yield fascinating glimpses of early social and economic history through accounts of public performances, social occasions, royal welcomes, folk customs, and professional entertainments. A few examples highlight the richness of the collection, which includes two royal visits – by Queen Elizabeth in 1576 and, more extensively, King James I in 1615. The records of Tutbury, whose castle was a major administrative centre for the household of John of Gaunt, show us from 1380 a flourishing Minstrel Court while the accounts of Burton Manor, home to Thomas, Lord Paget reveal an Elizabethan household filled with music, playing, and revels. By contrast, Newcastle under Lyme sources record evidence of implacable hatred of players, levying large fines upon persons who allowed playing, and firing the town constable for turning a blind eye. For those interested in tracking the itineraries of professional troupes across the kingdom, new details of performance troupes visiting Stafford and Walsall as well as the private residences of Beaudesert, Blithfield, and Burton will be important. *Staffordshire* is REED's pilot digital publication, with more collections forthcoming on the same website to enable easy cross-collection searching. As REED begins planning for the production of the next collection for the county of Berkshire, the integration of *Patrons and Performances* data, and the further development of *REED Online*, it welcomes all comments and suggestions from users. Please send any feedback to REED’s project manager, Carolyn Black, at ca.black(a)utoronto.ca. REED gives special thanks to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for a Connection grant that has made possible development of our digital publishing framework for *REED Online*. -- Dr James Cummings, Academic IT Services, University of Oxford
