language revival and endangered languages
by Stuart A. Yeates 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

A couple of interesting things happened / happening with respect to the Māori language that might be worth sharing: * There's a google API at https://translate.google.com/toolkit/ for languages which don't yet have a critical mass to be supported by the standard google translate tools. Using the API builds google's knowledge base of the language (hint: start with the new testament, for most small languages it's the largest aligned parallel text that's easily available). * Wikipedia is a great way raise the profile of people and activities in a cross-language fashion. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:M%C4%81ori_language_revivalists Wikipedia sources can be in any language, and translation of articles between languages can be set as a class exercise. Wikimedia will spin up a wikipedia in your language if you can get a couple of hundred articles written in the incubator http://incubator.wikimedia.org/ * Work in unicode. Digtial te reo Māori got set back hugely initially by official support for non-unicode fonts. * Building a dictionaries for firefox / libreoffice / other open source products to use in auto-correct is really easy if you have a decent word list. * I've already mentioned the He Pātaka Kupu Ture / The Legal Māori Archive at http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-corpus-legalMaori.html I'm happy to answer any questions people have about this work (very little of which is actually mine). cheers stuart On Sat, Jun 21, 2014 at 3:46 PM, Alex Gil <colibri.alex(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I agree with you Stuart.

Badges for DH2014
by Daniel O'Donnell 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

Hi all, So I think if we are going to do this, we need to act: we'd need to find a supplier over the weekend and get them ordered. I looked into flags but I think in the end James was write and we should use ISO language codes or something: flags are too political and hard to source. We're thinking of a small sticker with something like "I can whisper in _________." If possible using Elika's design, but a) we want to keep the costs down and b) it has to stick on the nametags people will have (so it has to be small but readable. An alternative might be a button (i.e. with a pin) if those are cheap enough, easily sourced, and can be written on. Some practical questions: 1) Who's all going to Lausanne and hence able to bring things? It might make sense to source things close to that person (if somebody is able to arrange buttons or stickers, I can reimburse them up to let's say $300 CAD (about US$250)). 2) Are we being too cute with "whisper"? I was among those who liked it, but I wonder if "I speak," "I can interpret," or "I can share" might be more obvious. Ideas? -dan -- From my Ubuntu notebook Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539

Announcements and call for positions
by Alex Gil 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

Dear all, I have some important announcements for the list. Dan O'Donnell, our elected chair, has had to stand down temporarily and has asked me to fill in the role of acting chair, which I have accepted. I look forward to representing our interest group until Dan can return, and I won't let you down. In the past couple of weeks, we have also worked hard to set up our executive board. Because I am acting chair, we have also decided to work with acting vice-chairs for the interim. Here is our board as of now: Alex Gil, Chair (acting) Barbara Bordalejo, Vice-Chair (acting) Øyvind Eide, Vice-Chair (acting) Elika Ortega, Secretary Elena Gonzalez-Blanco Domenico Fiormonte Dan O'Donnell We have decided that our second secretary should come from the general membership. If you would like to volunteer please let me know. We are also looking to staff the following positions: - An editorial committee responsible for the GO::DH website. - An organiser/organisers for planning conference and poster sessions. A webmaster right now is one of our biggest priority. If you want to help drive one of our most important platforms send me a line. This would be a great opportunity to get involved and help out. Looking forward to the work ahead this year! Best to all, Alex.

Inquietud, question
by Luis Rondon Paz 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Hola amigxs, acabo de hacer una investigación (superficial) en buscadores como yahoo.com y Ask.com tratando de encontrar noticias publicadas en los años 1999 y 2000 en Internet y no pude encontrar nada, me viene a la mente la memoria histórica en el mundo digital hacia donde está y cómo se podrá investigar en la red sobre un suceso ocurrido años atras. Ustedes conocen algún sitio que tenga almacenado las noticias publicadas en esos años en sitios como yahoo y altavista que en esa fecha eran los más populares? Hey DH Crew! I just did some small research (tiny one) around yahoo.com and ask.com trying to find some relevant published news around year 1999, 2000 and 2001, saddly the result was cero. i have been thinking how can i do some research in digital world -about news, papers, etc- published in the last 10 years . does anyone know some place where i can find news, documents, pictures, who was in the front page of sites like yahoo.com and altavista, back in year 2000 and 2001 they was very popular...

How Much Does It Cost to Make It to a Conference?
by Élika Ortega 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Dear all, Ernesto Priego and I have put together a short survey that looks into expenses and sources of funding for conference attendance using the upcoming DH2014 as a study case. We hope some of you will help us by responding to it. For more information on the project, please take a minute to read the text preceding the survey.

Re: [globaloutlookDH-l] AroundDH in 80 Days is live

This is an interesting project Alex, thank you for doing it and promoting it! What struck me is that the web today needs -like when it first appeared in 1993- some disciplinary index of resources and projects, could we still say catalogues? Pioneer digital historian Lynn H. Nelson who created -and with full support by Tim Berners Lee- the World Wide Web Virtual Library History Central Catalogue (today still available as history of the web at vlib.iue.it) was right when he was looking in the ’90 for collaborators worldwide and would still be right that the web needs index of resources, Local Area Search Engines or portals/gateways presenting selected resources in a field. And mirroring the site, finding international volunteers, gathering websites on a common document was already an issue in the ’90. Technologies are changing, some basic needs towards information/documentation are remaining: for example at the European University Institute a portal selecting in OA digital primary sources for the history of Europe: EHPS - primary-sources.eui.eu is in a way presenting DH projects when dealing with the creation of digital primary sources. So we are missing projects like Intute closed in 2011 (http://www.intute.ac.uk/) and we should have added a global Intute in DH for informing about the field’s developments, a global WWW VL of DH projects, a place where crowdsourcing information worldwide. Search engines like Google aren’t bibliographies or selected lists of resources and aren’t informing disciplinary about projects. Google founds what you are looking for but is not structuring and presenting information in an intelligent way like archives and libraries do when they have the technology, the time and the staff to do so. Having access to a selection of DH projects worldwide as an embryo of a database of DH projects is extremely useful indeed and like you said, needs a real lot of work by many volunteers!
