****************** CALL FOR PAPERS (Deadline May 8) ******************
JADH (The Japanese Association for Digital Humanities) conference 2018 co-located with TEI (Text Encoding Initiative Consortium) conference 2018
**********************************************************************
- Submission Deadline: May 8, 2018 - Notification of Acceptance: May 31, 2018 - Conference date: September 9-11, 2018 - Venue: Hitotsubashi Hall, Tokyo
The conference will feature posters, papers and panels. We invite proposals globally on all aspects of digital humanities, and especially encourage papers treating topics that deal with practices that aim to cross borders, for example, between academic fields, media, languages, cultures, organizations, and so on, as related to the field of digital humanities.
Theme: "Leveraging Open Data" Open Data has recently been a driver in various fields. The notion, activities, and the data themselves have gradually been gaining attention in the humanities. Large scale reusable data and greater integration of open data provide new research opportunities with relatively few costs. Open data has been strongly assisted by recent developments in digital tools, guidelines and frameworks that leverage digital cultural resources. It has become more important to share data and tools and to discuss their use in the context of digital humanities. This year we strongly encourage the submission of proposals about methods, results, and problems of leveraging open data in the humanities. With this as our suggested central focus, we nonetheless welcome papers on a broad range of DH topics.
Abstract: 500-1000 words in length in English, including title. Please submit abstracts on the open conference system for conference below by May 8, 2018.
