Call for Proposals: Encoding Cultures – joint MEC and TEI Conference 2023
by Martin Holmes 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

[With apologies for cross-posting. Please distribute widely] We are pleased to announce a call for papers, posters, panels, and workshops for “Encoding Cultures,” a joint conference of the annual Music Encoding Conference and Text Encoding Initiative Members’ Meeting. The conference will be held 5–8 September 2023 (Tue-Fri) at Paderborn University, Germany, with pre-conference workshops 4–5 September 2023 (Mon-Tue). This event brings together, for the first time, the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) and Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) communities, both of which are involved in the digitization and encoding of cultural heritage artifacts. While musical and textual artifacts have fundamental differences, there are many overlapping approaches in regard to data modeling, encoding theory, and digital publication. MEI and TEI also share technical tools and services, as both XML vocabularies are formally expressed using TEI's customization and documentation language. The conference topic is Encoding Cultures, understood both as the encoding of multiple cultures and cultural outputs as well as the variety of encoding cultures that exist within and across our communities. Encoding Cultures will be the 23rd annual meeting of the TEI community and the 11th annual Music Encoding Conference, a cross-disciplinary venue for the MEI community and all who are interested in the digital representation of music. The deadline for submissions is April 16, 2023. Please find more information and the text of the full Call for Proposals at https://teimec2023.uni-paderborn.de/cfp.html. We look forward to seeing you in Paderborn!

Anyone to share scans of Italian or English handwritten text for my DH class? We transcribe!
by Silvie Cinkova 16 Feb '23

16 Feb '23

Dear colleagues, w ould any of you be able to give me or point me to scans of handwritten English or Italian texts? I happen to teach a [ https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/courses/npfl134 | 4EU+ class ] , where they are going to mess around with Transkribus. T his year the group mysteriously consists purely of Italians from the University of Milan. As I understood, they are economists and social scientists rather than historians, so the texts should preferably not be extremely old and illegible. It does not have to be much, 50-100 pages in total would be great. Since that teaching project was originally set up with Frenchmen, we have plenty of French data, apart from Czech, German, and Russian, but I can't expect the Italians to know these languages well enough. Any hints welcome. We will gladly give the transcriptions back to help a project! Silvie -- Mgr.

Online seminar today: Building an intelligent online library at Arcanum
by Gabriel Bodard 07 Feb '23

07 Feb '23

Material Digital Humanities seminar (London and Cluj-Napoca) 2023 (online) Building an intelligent online library at Arcanum Előd Biszak (Budapest) Arcanum was founded in 1989. In the last 3 decades it has proven itself to be one of the major players in digitizing cultural heritage in Central Europe. Our philosophy is that digitization does not end with having digital reproduction. Analyzing the digital content with modern AI tools plays a huge role when creating a sophisticated easy-to-use search engine. Our workflow includes technologies like automatic newspaper segmentation, OCR-correction, named-entity recognition and face search. It lets the users research our digital library in ways that have not been really possible before. After creating the most prominent digital library in Hungary, we are extending our technologies and content to Romania hoping to create an indispensable tool in the field of Romanian cultural heritage. The Material Digital Humanities seminar is co-hosted by the Digital Humanities Research Hub, University of London, UK, and Star-UBB Institute of Advanced Studies(Opens in new window), University Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj Napoca, Romania. All welcome. This event is free to attend, but booking is required. https://www.sas.ac.uk/events/building-intelligent-online-library-arcanum

Constellate Text Analysis Webinars ✨
by Amy Kirchhoff 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

Hello all ~ I hope the new year is treating everyone well. I like the fresh start aspects of the New Year, but it has been a busy one! I wanted to let folks know that Constellate is running some introductory text-analysis webinars this month. (Constellate is a new text analysis service from ITHAKA that includes clear learning paths, the ability to easily build data sets using content from JSTOR, Portico and partners, and a lab where you can practice using popular and widely available tools and techniques for text and data analysis.) While the ability to use Constellate for teaching and learning is limited to participating institutions, anyone in the world may create and download datasets from Constellate. Our text analysis webinars in February will discuss some useful text analysis concepts (these are similar to the ones we ran last summer during our Open Summer of Text Analysis): * What can you do with Word Counts?<https://constellate.org/events/what-can-you-do-with-word-counts-2>: One session webinar on Wednesday, February 8. * How to Build a Good Dataset<https://constellate.org/events/how-to-build-a-good-dataset>: One session webinar on Wednesday, February 15. I’d love to have you attend, if you are interested. Happy start to the semester! ~ Amy -- Amy J. Kirchhoff (she/her) Constellate<https://constellate.org/> Sr. Manager / ITHAKA Twitter: @AmyPlusFour Take your research further with text and data analysis skills!
