Call for Proposals: Living Books about History
by Enrico Natale 26 Jan '26

26 Jan '26

‘Living Books about History <https://www.livingbooksabouthistory.ch/en/>’ is a collection of digital anthologies on current research topics. Each volume will feature an essay written by the editors as well as a selection of annotated texts and research resources. These contributions may include online resources such as open source articles, images, films, websites, or sound recordings. The project offers an innovative form of scientific publication that experiments with the possibilities offered by digital media. It revives the anthology format by virtually compiling scientific papers alongside their sources and resources. Readers can participate in ‘Living Books about History’ by suggesting further contributions, which will be added to the table of contents after approval by the editors. ‘Living Books about History’ showcases noteworthy and hitherto neglected scientific publications and sources on current topics. The selection made by the editors serves as a filter that distinguishes remarkable contributions from the mass of information available online. The project aims to reinforce the principles of ‘Open Science’. The 12 volumes published to date are available online, in both English and a second language. Types of Proposals Expected: infoclio.ch is launching a new series of ‘Living Books about History’ in 2026. The collection publishes research primarily in the field of historical sciences but welcomes diverse perspectives from other disciplinary fields. Proposals may address a variety of topics, without chronological, or geographical restrictions. The selected sources and scientific papers shed light on the respective research topics from different perspectives. ‘Living Books about History’ can have different objectives, such as providing a historiographical overview of a research trend, defining the contours of a new area of study, offering an introduction to a topic, illustrating different ways of interpreting a specific corpus of sources, or analyzing the challenges of a paradigm shift. Format of ‘Living Books about History’: Each volume consists of an original introduction of 20,000 to 40,000 characters and a selection of 20 to 30 resources already available online, accompanied by a brief commentary. Each volume is assigned a DOI and an ISBN. Submission of Proposals: This call for proposals is open to advanced researchers. We welcome proposals for volumes in the form of an abstract of no more than 4,000 characters outlining the theme and focus of the project, 2-3 examples of online resources to be included in the anthology, and a short CV of the editors. Proposals may be submitted in English, French, or German. The deadline for submitting proposals is March 20, 2026. Notification of accepted proposals will be sent on April 2, 2026. Please send proposals by email to: livingbooks(a)infoclio.ch <mailto:[email protected]> Accepted anthologies will be published during the summer and fall of 2026. The costs of editing and online publication will be covered in full by infoclio.ch (Diamond Open Access). If the text is written in a language other than English, editors are invited to participate in fundraising for translation. Contact: ‘Living Books about History’ is a publishing project of infoclio.ch, the Swiss professional portal for historical sciences. infoclio.ch is an institute of the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences (SAGW). Questions can be addressed to Enrico Natale: enrico.natale(a)infoclio.ch <mailto:[email protected]> Enrico Natale infoclio.ch Gutenbergstrasse 37 3011 Bern Tel: +41 31 311 75 72 Abonnez-vous à la newsletter <https://www.infoclio.ch/fr/newsletter> d’infoclio.ch Follow infoclio.ch on Mastodon <https://fedihum.org/@infoclio> À découvrir: Perspectives on the History of Forecasting <https://www.chronos-verlag.ch/public-download/4873> Histoire et informatique #24, 2025.

[CfP: SemDH 2026]
by Bruno Sartini 26 Jan '26

26 Jan '26

Dear all Apologies for crossposting. I gladly share with you the call for papers and panels of the third Edition of the International Workshop of Semantic Digital Humanities, that will be held on May 10th or 11th in Dubrovnik, Croatia, co-located with the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) CFP: Exploration, analysis, and preservation of the rich cultural and historical tapestry of the world are essential for our understanding of humanity's past and shaping our future. In recent years, there has been increased interest in the creation and application of Ontologies, Knowledge Graphs, and other Semantic Web Technologies within Cultural Heritage (CH) and Digital Humanities (DH). However, to date, the distinct areas of expertise, methodologies and traditions across the fields have led to a noticeable gap between tech solutions and humanities’ needs. The aim of the International Workshop of Semantic Digital Humanities (SemDH) is to bridge this division and encourage closer collaboration and networking across diverse fields. To accomplish this goal, we invite all members of Semantic Web, CH and DH communities actively involved in the development of systematic approaches and advanced technologies for handling heterogeneous, diverse and challenging humanities data. This includes, but is not limited to, constructing and utilizing of knowledge graphs for the humanities, extracting and representing knowledge from historical texts, data linking across disciplines, enriching semantics of historical records and biographies, analyzing social networks, ontology adoption, extension and evaluation for specific domains. In addition, it includes the exploitation of recent technologies, e.g. LLM(s), in the context of semantic technologies, to tackle the diverse challenges associated with working with data in the humanities domain. We welcome presentations that not only focus on technological endeavours but also explore the analysis of CH and DH data landscape through the perspective of philosophical, historical, social, and other research questions. Apart from research, resource and work-in-progress papers, we encourage the audience to submit panel proposals. By this, authors will be provided with a platform to share and discuss their challenges and/or showcase research findings by gaining immediate feedback from diverse perspectives encompassing computer science, humanities, and cultural heritage. Workshop topics: - Fundamental Concepts and Questions in Digital Humanities (DH) Research - Vocabulary, Schema, Ontology Development and Design Methodologies in DH - Application of Formal Ontologies (UFO, BFO, etc.) in DH - Practical Use of Standard Ontologies (CIDOC-CRM, FRBR) in DH: Case Studies, Challenges and Lessons Learnt - Harmonization of established standards like TEI, MEI, LIDO and Ontologies - Philosophical and Sociological Analysis of DH Models and Modeling Practices - Social Studies on Ontology Standardization Policies in DH - Temporal Knowledge Graphs in Context of DH - Semantic Web Applications for DH - Software Architectures, Structural Frameworks and Infrastructures for DH KGs - Interoperability and Linking in DH - Application of FAIR Principles and KG-based Data Curation Strategies in DH - (Automated) Construction of Knowledge Graphs for DH - Searching, Querying, and Visualization of DH Knowledge Graphs - Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Knowledge Extraction in DH Research - Workflows and Tools for Knowledge Extraction in DH, e.g. Crowdsourcing - Access Management, Trust and Provenance in the DH context - Evaluation of DH Ontologies and KGs: Methods, Metrics and Criteria - Retrieval Augmented Generation techniques applied to DH KG - Agentic AI applied to cultural heritage knowledge graphs All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome: - Full Papers (10-15 pages including references) - Short Papers (5-9 pages including references) - Panel Proposals (2-3 pages, including references) Full papers are expected to showcase innovative and substantive research at the intersection of Digital Humanities and the Semantic Web, presenting results and evaluations. Short papers may share intermediate results, ongoing research, positions and ideas within these fields. We welcome any types of research, resource and application papers, as well as (short only) demonstration submissions. Both full and short papers will undergo review based on the following criteria: - Relevance to the workshop - Grounding in the literature and related work - Originality and soundness - Potential influence and significance - Reproducibility and availability of resources - Design and execution of evaluation (for full papers) Panel proposals should include a motivation of a highly relevant while controversial topic with suggestions for panellists and description of their expertise towards the topic. Panel proposals will be peer-reviewed, based on: - Relevance to the workshop - Grounding in the literature - Potential significance and impact - Clear presentation of controversial topics After the workshop, the authors of panel proposals will be given two additional pages to extend their abstracts with insights of the panel discussion for publication in the proceedings. Deadline: March 3rd 2026 All submissions must be written in English and formatted using the template for submissions to CEUR Workshop Proceedings <https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-w…>. All papers and proposals have to be submitted electronically via EasyChair <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semdh2026>. All questions about submissions should be emailed to semdh2026(a)easychair.org . Best, Bruno
