DH, copyright and Article 17 (ex Article 13)
by Ernesto Priego 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Dear all, It seems to me that all researchers using the Internet should care about copyright legislation that affects what we can and cannot do online. European researchers using the Internet should be specifically concern about the Article 17 (ex Article 13). Many of us believe the current proposals that are being discussed would negatively impact researchers, creators and users’ fundamental freedoms. There wouldn't be any academic in the digital humanities (based in Europe or not) who would not be impacted in some way by this piece of legislation. Some resources below: For background: What is Article 13? (BBC) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-47239600# Read more about the possible impact of Article 17 (ex Article 13): https://saveyourinternet.eu/?noredirect=true#impact Final copyright vote: MEPs must choose to save the internet (Open Knowledge Foundation blog) https://blog.okfn.org/2019/03/26/final-copyright-vote-meps-must-choose-to-s… I just signed the petition "European Parliament: Stop the censorship-machinery! Save the Internet!" and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name. The goal is to reach 6,000,000 signatures and we need more support.

MakeWrite is now live
by Ernesto Priego 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Dear all, I am pleased to announce that we have now launched MakeWrite, an iPad app that was co-designed by and for people with aphasia (a language difficulty following brain injury). The app offers an accessible way for anyone to create and share texts in English. However, you don't need to live with aphasia to try it out. Users can use existing text to make their own new piece of creative writing in four simple stages: choose, erase, arrange and share. The project has launched it today as part of UNESCO's World Poetry Day. This is its first release- it is a worldwide release for all iPad models, but if you are not in the UK and you experience difficulties downloading please do let us know- there should be no problems though. Needless to say I'd personally love to see a multilingual MakeWrite, and of course one with a wider variety of source texts and an Android version too. In the meanwhile here's the first release, and as fellow DH folk I thought you'd be interested. Link to the release on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/makewrite/id1456271313?mt=8 <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/makewrite/id1456271313?mt=8> All the best, Enresto @ernestopriego http://epriego.blog/ <https://epriego.wordpress.com/> The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship http://www.comicsgrid.com/ Parables of Care: https://blogs.city.ac.uk/parablesofcare/ Symbola Comics: https://figshare.com/collections/Symbola_Comics/4090025 Subscribe to the Comics Grid Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/iOYAj The information contained in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Virtual poster session for multilingual DH course
by Quinn Dombrowski 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Dear colleagues, The students of Stanford University’s “Digital Humanities Across Borders” DLCL 204 course invite you to join them for a virtual poster session of their final projects. This quarter, the students have been applying a variety of digital humanities tools and methods to texts in a non-English language of their choice (including Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese). Final posters are up at this URL: https://digitalhumanities.stanford.edu/dlcl204 Shorter write-ups and other materials may trickle in over the next couple days. Each project has its own hashtag along with the course hashtag. Students will be reading and responding to questions and comments on Thursday, March 14th from 1:30-2:50 PM Pacific Time. If you have a moment, please take a look at the projects and send along any thoughts or questions. Materials for this course (including tutorials and code) will be finalized and posted over the next week or so at https://github.com/quinnanya/dlcl204. Many thanks, Quinn Dombrowski, on behalf of the “Digital Humanities Across Borders” class.

2nd CfP: 3rd Workshop on Humanities in the Semantic Web - WHiSe III
by Albert Meroño Peñuela 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

==== 2nd Call for Papers (WHiSe III) ==== 3rd Workshop on Humanities in the Semantic Web - WHiSe III *** DEADLINE EXTENSION: March 15, see details below *** Date: May 20 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 Meroño-Peñuela - 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 ‘ecological’ 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 - 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 - 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. # IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: Friday, March 15, 2019 (EXTENDED) Notification to authors: Friday, April 12, 2019 (UPDATED) Camera-ready due on: Wednesday, April 24, 2019 (UPDATED) Workshop day: May 20, 2019 All deadlines are 23:59 Hawaii time # 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). Page limits are inclusive of references and appendices, if any. Papers are to be submitted through the Easychair Conference Management System ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=whise3). Please note that paper submissions to WHiSe III are not anonymous. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop, in order to present the paper there, and to the conference. For further instructions please refer to the LDK 2019 page (http://2019.ldk-conf.org/). ## PRIOR PUBLICATION AND MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS Every submitted paper must represent original and unpublished work: it must not be under review or accepted elsewhere and there must be a significantly clear element of novelty distinguishing a submitted paper from any other prior publication or current submission. # PROGRAM COMMITTEE - Elton Barker, The Open University - Francesca Benatti, The Open University - Victor de Boer, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam - Gabriel Bodard, University of London - Enrico Daga, The Open University - Rossana Damiano, University of Turin - Marilena Daquino, Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna - David De Roure, University of Oxford - Timothy Duguid, University of Glasgow - Nicholas Gibbins, University of Southampton - Jorge Gracia, Universidad de Zaragoza - Paula Granados-Garcia, The Open University - Eero Hyvönen, Aalto University and University of Helsinki (HELDIG) - Antoine Isaac, Europeana & Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam - Ioanna Kyvernitou, National University of Ireland Galway - Sarah Middle, The Open University - Paul Mulholland, The Open University - Kevin Page, University of Oxford - Michele Pasin, Digital Science - Silvio Peroni, Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna - Davide Picca, University of Lausanne - Gimena del Río Riande, Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia - Ryan Shaw, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - Rainer Simon, Austrian Institute of Technology - Konstantin Todorov, University of Montpellier - Francesca Tomasi, Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna - François Vignale, Université du Maine
