Dear colleagues, The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences (BBAW) kindly invites you to the next virtual DH-Kolloquium on August 7, 2020, at 5 pm. Our guest is Antonio Rojas Castro (BBAW, Proyecto Humboldt Digital, and Programming Historian) who will talk about "FAIR enough? Building DH Resources in an Unequal World". The presentation (see the abstract below), will be pre-recorded and made available at the beginning of the Kolloquium, i.e. on August 7, 2020, at 5 pm. The link to the lecture will be posted on the Twitter account of the DH-Kolloquium (@DHBBAW). The discussion with the presenter (@RojasCastroA) will also take place on Twitter (#dhberlin). # FAIR enough? Building DH Resources in an Unequal World Antonio Rojas Castro (Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften) The world that Digital Humanities practitioners inhabit is a place defined by uneven distribution of wealth and systemic oppressions. As Boaventura de Sousa Santos argues in his recent book La cruel pedagogía del virus (The Cruel Pedagogy of the Virus) (Sousa Santos, 2020), the COVID-19 has exacerbated the inequalities in the Global North and in the Global South; but the unmask of inequalities is not a new topic in the field of Digital Humanities. For the last decade many scholars have been defending a critical approach to open access, computational tools, algorithms and cultural datasets (Galina, 2014; Fiormonte, Numerico and Tomasi, 2015, Rio Grande, 2018, Earhardt, 2018, Risam, 2019, Noble, 2019). In addition to the work of individuals, group initiatives like Global Outlook::DH[1]<https://dhd-blog.org/?p=14165#_ftn1> have also enabled debates on social justice, diversity and inclusivity. In this presentation I aim to establish a dialogue with previous interventions that critique the Digital Humanities as a universalist, not situated and scientific field whose epistemological frameworks, methods and tools can be applied anywhere, anytime and under all conditions. To do so I will examine, expand and question the FAIR Principles initiated by FORCE11.[2]<https://dhd-blog.org/?p=14165#_ftn2> These principles are four: Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability. They implicitly suggest a moral idea of “fairness” or “justice” that should guide “data producers and publishers” to maximize the “added-value gained by contemporary, formal scholarly digital publishing” (Wilkinson et al., 2016). Although the FAIR Principles were originated in the context of e-science, they have already been adopted by library associations like LIBER[3]<https://dhd-blog.org/?p=14165#_ftn3> and some DH scholars have also evaluated them (Dunning, Smaele and Böhmer, 2017) and used them as guiding principles for developing digital archives (Calamai and Frontini, 2018). Drawing on examples derived from the Programming Historian en español (PHes)[4]<https://dhd-blog.org/?p=14165#_ftn4> and the Proyecto Humboldt Digital (ProHD), I will argue that, while the FAIR Principles can guide how we build DH resources in the Global North, any attempt to apply them in the Global South (especially in Latin American countries) may replicate colonialist practices that ignore the digital divide and local needs and practices in favor of hegemonic standards (Priani Saisó, 2019). This caveat is especially relevant for cooperation projects that involve scholars, librarians, archivists and other professionals with different backgrounds, that are based in different countries, speak different languages and have different needs and motivations. In brief, building FAIR resources is a praiseworthy goal, but in order to produce an emancipatory knowledge, that (perhaps) will repair some inequalities, we should avoid cultural cloning and cognitive extractivism and instead sustain an ecology of knowledge.

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear Global Outlook (ADHO DH) Community, We are organizing a workshop which focuses on the multimedia data related to our digital cultural heritage. We think that this data has huge implications, from storing, analyzing, studying, scholarship and dissemination. The focus is on the digital part. We think that there are certain common topics for the group and the workshop theme that deserve bigger audience. In light of that, we think that this workshop can/might prove to be a good place for disseminating few of the group's ideas. Please, find the "updated" call for papers below. The workshop will have keynotes from: 1. André Araujo (https://andrefaraujo.github.io/) 2. Livio de Luca(http://www.map.cnrs.fr/ldl/) The first edition of the workshop attracted lot of papers from variety of topics. The related articles could be found at this link: https://dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.1145/3347317 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers SUMAC 2020 - The 2nd workshop on Structuring and Understanding of Multimedia heritAge Contents In conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2020 12 - 16 October 2020, Seattle, United States Note that according to the policy chosen by ACM Multimedia 2020 facing potential travel restrictions in the fall due to covid-19, SUMAC 2020 may happen as a virtual workshop. https://sumac2020.ec-lyon.fr https://2020.acmmm.org *** Aims and scope The digitization of large quantities of analogue data and the massive production of born-digital documents for many years now provide us with large volumes of varied multimedia data (images, maps, text, video, multisensor data, etc.), an important feature of which is that they are cross-domain. "Cross-domain" reflects the fact that these data may have been acquired in very different conditions: different acquisition systems, times and points of view (e.g. a 1962 postcard from the Arc de Triomphe vs. a recent street-view acquisition by mobile mapping of the same monument). These data represent an extremely rich heritage that can be exploited in a wide variety of fields, from SSH to land use and territorial policies, including smart city, urban planning, tourism, creative media and entertainment. In terms of research in computer science, they address challenging problems related to the diversity and volume of the media across time, the variety of content descriptors (potentially including the time dimension), the veracity of the data, and the different user needs with respect to engaging with this rich material and the extraction of value out of the data. These challenges are reflected in research topics such as multimodal and mixed media search, automatic content analysis, multimedia linking and recommendation, and big data analysis and visualisation, where scientific bottlenecks may be exacerbated by the time dimension, which also provides topics of interest such as multimodal time series analysis. The objective of the second edition of this workshop is to present and discuss the latest and most significant trends in the analysis, structuring and understanding of multimedia contents dedicated to the valorization of heritage, with emphasis on the unlocking of and access to the big data of the past. We welcome research contributions related to the following (but not limited to) topics: - Multimedia and cross-domain data interlinking and recommendation - Dating and spatialization of historical data - Mixed media data access and indexing - Deep learning in adverse conditions (transfer learning, learning with side information, etc.) - Multi-modal time series analysis, evolution modelling - Multi-modal and multi-temporal data rendering - HCI / Interfaces for large scale data sets - Smart digitization of massive quantities of data - Benchmarking, open data movement *** Keynote speakers - Andre Araujo (Google, US): Deep Image Features for Instance-level Recognition and Matching. - Livio de Luca (CNRS, France): modelling, semantisation and restitution of 3D digital heritage objects - application to digital restoration of Notre-Dame de Paris *** Important dates Submission Due: 30 July 2020 (11:59 p.m. AoE) Author acceptance notification: 26 August 2020 Camera Ready Submission: 2 September 2020 Workshop Date: 12 or 16 October 2020 (TBA) *** Submission guidelines Submission format. All submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work in progress. One submission format is accepted: full paper, which must follow the formatting guidelines of the main conference ACM MM 2020.
