Seminar Announcement – George Bruseker, Ontologies for Art History: Modelling Creative Processes and Evolving Meanings (3 November, 4 p.m., Rennes 2 / online)
by clarisse bardiot 29 Oct '25

29 Oct '25

Dear colleagues, Here is a seminar announcement that may be of interest to some of you. Best regards, Clarisse Bardiot George Bruseker - Takins.solutions Ontologies for Art History: Modelling Creative Processes and Evolving Meanings. 3 novembre, 16h, salle T 233 (hybride) This lecture explores how formal ontologies and semantic data modelling can help art historians represent and connect complex cultural information in ways that go beyond the structuration and mindset imposed by traditional databases. We will examine how such approaches can support expressive and representative research datasets that have much more capacity to capture the complexity and nuance of the historical record while also standing as sus- tainable resources that can be reused across projects and disciplines. I will first reflect on the strengths and limitations of existing standards such as the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model, now widely used in cultu- ral heritage documentation. I will then introduce two recent ontological frameworks: the Creative Process Representation Ontology (CPRo), which en- ables the modelling of creative activity as it unfolds across processes, forms into documents, is reinterpreted and performed; and the Art and Architectural Argumentation Ontology (AAAo), which provides a way to repre- sent social facts, conventions, and the evolving meaning and valuation of works over time. Throughout, I will illustrate these ideas with examples from art history, showing how they can illuminate not only objects and texts but also the dynamics of events, collaborations, and reception. No prior knowledge of ontologies or data modelling is assumed; the emphasis will be on making these ideas accessible and relevant to historical research on the arts. George Bruseker is a researcher and practitioner in semantic data modelling and cultural heritage informatics. He is Vice Chair of the CIDOC CRM Special Interest Group and co-founder of Takin.solutions Ltd., where he leads projects on ontological modelling and semantic platforms for heritage data. He is also a Research Affiliate at the Swiss Art Research Infrastructure (SARI). Trained as a philosopher and historian (PhD, University of Athens), Bruseker has contributed extensively to international standards such as CIDOC CRM, Linked.Art, and the Arches platform. His work develops frameworks for representing creative processes, social valuation, and provenance in art history, making complex heritage information more interoperable and reusable across disciplines and time. Seminar L’art des données, les données de l’art – Season 3 As part of the European research project STAGE – From Stage to Data: The Digital Turn of Contemporary Performing Arts Historiography, directed by Clarisse Bardiot, this research seminar offers an in-depth introduction to the issues, concepts, methods, and tools involved in the digital study of texts, images, and cultural data. It aims to address the challenges and opportunities related to the use of digital data in art research – particularly in the developing fields of digital art history and culture analytics – and to show how the digital humanities open new research perspectives in the humanities. The seminar takes place on Mondays from 4 to 6 p.m.: – in person at the Villejean campus of the University of Rennes 2 – or online via Zoom. Registration is required via the following form so that the link can be sent to you.

[RefExtract25] 2025-11-4 Program published
by Wagner, Andreas 24 Oct '25

24 Oct '25

(Apologies for crosspostings you may receive) Dear all, we are excited to publish the final program of the Workshop "Reference Extraction at the Intersection of AI Research and the Digital Humanities: Validation, Interoperability and Collaboration", to be held at the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory<https://www.lhlt.mpg.de/> (mpilhlt) in Frankfurt/Main on Tuesday, 4th Nov 2025. It is the second workshop in the "New Approaches for the Extraction of Heterogeneous Reference Data" series<https://mpilhlt.github.io/reference-extraction/> at mpilhlt started in 2023. This informal meeting is meant mainly to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of data extraction, artificial intelligence, and the digital humanities. In the workshop, we continue to address the challenge of extracting heterogeneous references from texts, particularly from historical documents and humanities or legal scholarship. This second workshop focuses on three key themes emerging from the 2023 discussions: 1. Validation: How can we evaluate and benchmark the performance of different reference extraction tools and approaches, particularly with large language models? 2. Interoperability: How can we ensure that different tools, datasets, and workflows can work together effectively through shared data models and formats? 3. Collaboration: How can researchers, developers, and institutions work together to advance the field of reference extraction? The program is attached and available online at: https://mpilhlt.github.io/reference-extraction/workshop-2025/programme/ The event will take place in-person and online. Please register at https://plan.events.mpg.de/e/refextract25 if you haven't done so already. A link for online attendance will be sent to registered participants before the event. Also, even if you cannot attend, but want to be informed about updates, materials being made available, etc. you can notify us about this at the registration link. We are looking forward to seeing you at the workshop!
