CfP: 3rd Workshop on Humanities in the Semantic Web - WHiSe III
by Albert Meroño Peñuela 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

==== Call for Papers (WHiSe III) ==== 3rd Workshop on Humanities in the Semantic Web - WHiSe III Date: May 20, 21, or 22, 2019 (to be confirmed) Venue: Leipzig, Germany (co-located with LDK 2019) Hashtag: #whise2019 Twitter: @whiseworkshop Site: http://whise.kmi.open.ac.uk/ Workshop chairs: - Alessandro Adamou - Data Science Institute, NUI Galway, Ireland - Marieke van Erp - KNAW Humanities Cluster, The Netherlands - Albert MeroÃ±o-PeÃ±uela - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands # DESCRIPTION The emergence of tractable and affordable methods for the collection, enhancement and analysis of data generated en masse has helped shape several research fields, such as social sciences, into structured research fields. Digital Humanities are enjoying such a transformation to the point that their very boundaries and methodological foundations are being called into question. The quality and relevance of findings obtained from the thorough, human-driven analysis of a few sources, compared to unsupervised large-scale analytics on masses of data, is a fervent ongoing debate; and yet, the latter cannot prescind from a conscious effort in shaping the world to which the analyses need to relate. This has largely taken the form of knowledge modelling efforts, from which many ontologies, controlled vocabularies and conceptual models like CIDOC-CRM, the Europeana Data Model and FRBRoo have arisen. However, other fields traditionally less reliant on machine-readable data have seen the emergence of â€˜ecologicalâ€™ communities with an approach to the Web of Data. Recent examples include the 2014 ISAW papers for the ancient world, Transforming Musicology for music and musicology (http://www.transforming-musicology.org/) and Linked Pasts for history and archaeology (http://commons.pelagios.org/groups/linked-pasts/). As these emerging research networks deal with the reality of the Semantic Web and the ever-growing Linked Data Cloud, the WHiSe workshop series was conceived from a reflection on the extent to which the Semantic Web community is serving the needs of historians, philologists, cultural critics, musicologists and other humanists that generally: (1) cannot rely on structured data generated en masse through social networks or online media platforms; (2) deal with vague, fragmentary, uncertain, contradictory and yet still valuable evidence that poses a challenge even to Artificial Intelligence research per se; (3) have good reason to value the systematic investigation of a few sources over the (semi-)automated analytical findings on masses of content. WHiSe addresses this need by promoting dialogue between humanists who employ or are contemplating Semantic Web technologies, and Semantic Web scholars providing accounts of applied research in the Humanities. It will also be a forum for raising opportunities to explore novel research problems that can be relevant to both communities. WHiSe III welcomes original research contributions crossing Humanities and the Semantic Web. Scholars who have conducted research or developed impactful applications are invited to submit full papers (12 pages, Springer LNCS typeset) with appropriately evaluated contributions. WHiSe III also welcomes short vision or position papers (6 pages, Springer LNCS typeset) on novel challenges or approaches to existing problems. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Knowledge base generation from classical texts - Linking data within and across gazetteers - Semantic enrichment of data from historical records and biographies - Ecosystems and process descriptions for linking data in the humanities - Linked Digital Libraries and semantic archives - Ontology adoption in specific domains in the humanities - Knowledge graph construction and exploitation within and across domains - Computational methods for the prosopography of historical figures - Capturing, modelling and reasoning on musical data - The role of ontologies and controlled vocabularies in data preservation - Criticism of Semantic Web standards from the point of view of humanities scholarship - Ethical issues in using Semantic Web and Linked Data and their impact on the openness of traditional research data - Notions on integrating digital humanities and data science - Knowledge bottlenecks and practical difficulties in using Semantic Web technologies by humanities scholars - Utopian / dystopian visions of the Semantic Web of the future Submissions in all the categories mentioned above (both full and short papers) will be peer-reviewed by acknowledged researchers familiar with both scientific communities. Accepted papers will be published as online proceedings courtesy of CEUR-WS.org <http://ceur-ws.org/>. # IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: Tuesday, March 5, 2019 Notification to authors: Tuesday, April 2, 2019 Camera-ready due on: Wednesday, April 17, 2019 Workshop day: May 20, 2019 # SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers will be evaluated according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. We welcome the following types of contributions: - Full papers (up to 12 pages) - Short papers (up to 6 pages) All submissions must be PDF documents written in English and formatted according to LNCS instructions for authors http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0).

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

17 Dec '18

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.

Inquiry about ADHO new governance structure
by Domenico Fiormonte 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Dear all, does anyone in this list know what has been decided (if anything) about the new ADHO governance structure, etc.? I've checked the ADHO website, and it seems that the last documents published (and publicly shared) date back to April 2018. For example: https://adho.org/announcements/2018/implementation-committee-proposed-sigs-… I'm finishing to write an article that involves issues of cultural-linguistic diversity and political representation in DH, so I'd be grateful if someone more involved in the procees could illuminate me. Incidentally, I found the proposed tripartion of organizations in three layers of decreasing power a sort of neo-feudal model: CO (consitituent organizations, who put the money and take the decisions), Associate Organization ("allied to ADHO"), and Affiliate Organization ("compatible aims with ADHO"). I have no doubt that in this increasingly imperial world there are and there always will be organizations and groups in search of "international visibility", and will accept to pay the price of subalternity. We see this everyday. However we're talking about a scholarly organization, not NATO, and a tripartion like this, if implemented, will inevitably reflects a caste system based on income (?), to say the least. I wonder what will be the final result of this process if not a reinforcement and widening of current unbalances and discriminations, and of course the perpetuation of the Anglophone hegemony within our field.

Dominance of Global North affiliations also by altmetrics
by Ernesto Priego 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Dear all, I blogged a thing on the Altmetric Top 100 2018. The Altmetric Top 100 is an annual list of the research that has received most attention online on the platforms / services that Altmetric monitors each year. Altmetric has released an annual Top 100 list since 2013. Back in the early days of altmetrics some of us thought they could contribute to increasing the visibility of research outputs from the Global South. I suppose in a way they have, highlighting how few are actually recorded, perhaps in part due to the different publishing infrastructures (e.g. lack of permanent identifiers in some cases), language, etc. This new data reveals again the dominance of the Global North and of non-humanities research. Text and figures in my post: https://epriego.blog/2018/12/12/how-alternative-are-altmetrics-online-atten… As usual my posts are always-already works in progress, so typos and inconsistencies, even errors may have remained, but I have shared the source data so it can all be checked if you so wish.

Electronic Literature 2019 at UCC
by James O'Sullivan 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

*Apologies for cross-posting* I would like to remind members of this group that there is still time to submit to the Electronic Literature Organization Conference & Media Arts Festival 2019, to be hosted in July at University College Cork, Ireland. *The deadline for submissions is December 21st, 11pm GMT. * Details of the call can be found on the ELO2019 website: http://elo2019.ucc.ie/cfp/ Or as follows: Proposals are now being accepted for presentations and exhibition pieces at the annual Electronic Literature Organization Conference and Media Arts Festival, to be held July 15-17, 2019 at University College Cork, Ireland. Electronic literature, or e-lit, refers to literary works wherein computation forms some essential part of the aesthetic. #ELO19 offers an opportunity to share research and creative contributions within an engaging, collegial atmosphere comprising e-lit scholars and practitioners from across the globe. The theme for this year’s ELO gathering is “peripheries”: delegates are invited to explore the edges of literary and digital culture, including emerging traditions, indeterminate structures and processes, fringe communities of praxis, effaced forms and genres, marginalised bodies, and perceptual failings. #ELO19 will mark the first time that the ELO conference has been hosted by an Irish institution: join us for this momentous gathering! *Conference Papers* We invite proposals of ~500 words for conference presentations. Proposals may focus on any topic relating to the wider field of electronic literature, multimodal writing, digital art, literary games, or new media aesthetics. Submissions are welcome across the following two formats: I. 20-minute presentation of a single paper by one or more authors; II. 90-minute panel proposal, incorporating three separate but related abstracts on a consistent topic. In addition to individual abstracts, panel proposals should be accompanied by ~200 word summaries of their overall research emphasis. Please note that we are not in a position to accommodate requests by presenters who wish to present on a specific date. Please submit proposals using EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elo2019 Submissions should include the title of the submission, the name(s) and affiliation(s) of contributor(s), biographical notes, and a 500-word abstract. Submissions will be peer-reviewed, with authors being notified in early 2019. *Exhibition Pieces* We invite proposals of digital artworks and e-lit pieces to be featured as part of #ELO19’s media arts exhibition to be hosted at the Glucksman Gallery <http://elo2019.ucc.ie/glucksman/> throughout and beyond the conference. All forms of electronic literature, multimodal writing, digital art, and screen fiction will be considered. We will also consider performance pieces, for which a session will be scheduled if required. Submissions should conform to the following structure: I. Author name(s), affiliation(s), and biographical notes; II. 500-word artist statement detailing the aesthetic intentions and structure of the piece; III. Technical specification providing exact details of what will be required to facilitate the work’s inclusion in the exhibition. Technical specifications should include information on the materials, technologies, and spatial requirements necessary, and what they will require the Gallery to provide. Please submit proposals using EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elo2019 Submissions will be considered by the exhibition’s curators, with artists being notified in early 2019. *Conference Proceedings* After #ELO19, selected papers will be invited to submit to a conference-themed special issue of the Electronic Book Review <http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/journals/titles/electronic-book-review/> . *Bursaries* Five competitive UCC/ELO bursaries of 500 EUR will be offered to students and independent scholars/artists looking to attend #ELO19. Eligible candidates interested in applying for UCC/ELO bursaries should include a 500-word statement with their submission materials, justifying why they merit such an award. In addition, the Digital Humanities Summer Institute <http://dhsi.org> offers several bursaries to assist graduate students and junior scholars from the DHSI community to attend #ELO19, assisting by defraying some travel and lodging costs. Preference will be given to those presenting at the gathering. Candidates interested in applying for DHSI-sponsored bursaries should do so at https://www.regonline.ca/DHSI-ELO2019. University College Cork and the Electronic Literature Organization regret that they will not be in a position to fund additional delegates beyond these bursaries. *ELO Membership* Participation in the Electronic Literature Organization’s Conference & Media Arts Festival requires ELO membership: eliterature.org/membership

by luctsdh 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Join us for an Online Info Session on Thursday, December 6, 7-8pm CST. We'll discuss the curriculum, classes, and the career paths you can take with a Master's degree in Digital Humanities. Register at: https://gpem.luc.edu/register/?id=e689ad8d-a14c-4ca4-b7e9-65d763f6fb9b Our Master's Program Learn first-hand the ways in which computational technologies are transforming how we ask- and seek to answer- age-old humanistic questions. Gain a theoretical understanding of how technology shapes our lived experience while developing practical knowledge of making and building. Our Students Our students arrive from different fields and disciplines, including literary studies, history, computer science, communications, and library and information science. They come from diverse cultural backgrounds, and find a home in Loyola's interdisciplinary research center, the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities<https://luc.edu/ctsdh/>, where they undertake research projects, present public programs, and gather socially. Our Curriculum In our 30-hour part-time or full-time program, our students are trained in the practice and critical study of the intersections between the humanities and computational social science. Coursework<https://luc.edu/ctsdh/academics/curriculum/> and research projects range from digital textual editing, archiving, publishing, and data analysis, to the study of new media. Students collaborate with world-renowned faculty and curators before embarking on a capstone project of their own design. Your Career MA in Digital Humanities graduates are prepared for careers in the private and academic sectors, including education, libraries, archives, museums, tech firms, and PhD programs. ? What Our Students Say "The diversity and global stature of Chicago are big parts of the reason I love the city. I was drawn to Loyola's strong reputation and emphasis on knowledge not for its own sake but for the service of others and the human community. Loyola's commitment to excellence and global awareness resonated with me during a time when our political leaders at the state and national level seem determined to pull away from science and the global community. Loyola's commitment to social justice in Plan 2020 (https://www.luc.edu/strategicplanning/plan2020/) gave me confidence that a degree from Loyola would prepare me not just for my own future, but to give back to others in Chicago and make a positive difference in the world." - Tyler Monaghan, Class of 2019 We are currently accepting applications for admission<https://luc.edu/ctsdh/academics/maindigitalhumanities/> for the Fall 2019 semester.

Hold the date: Force11 Scholarly Communications Institute @ UCLA August 5 through 9, 2019
by O'Donnell, Dan 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

On behalf of the FSCI 2019 steering committee, I'm pleased to share the following now-official news! # FORCE11 is pleased to announce the third annual FORCE11 Scholarly Communication Institute (FSCI) will take place at UCLA from August 5 to 9, 2019. With this move, FORCE11 begins a long-term collaboration with the UCLA Library to plan and present FSCI, and improve understanding and engagement with the fast-changing world of research communication on campuses everywhere. FSCI started in 2017 as a partnership between FORCE11 and the University of California at San Diego. Now setting down roots in Los Angeles, California, FSCI is a week-long summer school in open research for researchers, librarians, publishers, university administrators, funders, students and post-docs that incorporates intensive coursework, seminars, group activities, lectures and hands-on training. Participants learn from leading experts, have the chance to discuss the latest trends and to gain expertise in new technologies. FSCI is transdisciplinary and relevant across the sciences, social sciences and humanities. “Working together with the academic community to explore frontiers in research communications is key to changing practices,” said Ginny Steel, UCLA Norman and Armena Powell University Librarian. “The UCLA Library has been actively involved in efforts to enhance and expand scholarly discourse through openness, and the summer institute will be a valuable forum for us to consider the opportunities and challenges in concert with the international research community. We look forward to welcoming everyone in August.” FSCI courses explore changing practice in data-sharing, authorship, peer review, research assessment, publishing and more. There are courses for those who know very little about current trends and technologies and courses for those ready to pursue advanced topics. FSCI covers scholarly communication from a variety of disciplinary, regional and international perspectives. “We’re so pleased to name the UCLA Library as our partner for FSCI,” added Daniel O’Donnell, Chair of the FORCE11 Board of Directors and Professor of English at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. “FSCI is a vibrant, inclusive and accessible forum for individuals from across sectors to apply themselves to learn about emerging topics and take them back to their home institutions. The librarian scholars at the UCLA Library are recognised leaders in improving research communication, and together with the wider academic community of UCLA will enrich the FSCI program in fantastic ways.” The 5-day FSCI will take place at UCLA August 5 through 9, 2019. Course information and registration will be available in spring. To be kept up-to-date on details as they emerge, sign up to receive email updates, join us on Facebook, or follow @force11rescomm on Twitter. FSCI2019@UCLA is online at https://www.force11.org/fsci/2019 # About UCLA Library As one of the world’s leading research libraries, the UCLA Library creates a vibrant nexus of ideas, collections, expertise and spaces in which users illuminate solutions for local and global challenges. It constantly evolves to advance UCLA’s research, education and public service mission by empowering and inspiring communities of scholars and learners to discover, access, create, share and preserve knowledge. More information is available on the website at http://www.library.ucla.edu/about About FORCE11 FORCE11 (The Future of Research Communication and eScholarship) is a community of scholars, librarians, archivists, publishers and research funders that has arisen organically to help facilitate the change toward improved knowledge creation and sharing.
