by Naomi Wells 10 May '24

10 May '24

Dear list members, Please find below details of a free training workshop and panel discussion on 30 May, led by the School of Advanced Study’s Institute for Languages, Cultures and Societies<https://ilcs.sas.ac.uk/> and the Digital Humanities Research Group at Royal Holloway<https://twitter.com/dhroyalholloway?lang=en> (DH@RH). Please do share the invite widely. -- Introduction to Text Analysis - using the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) tools to analyse various types of textual data Woburn Suite, G22/26, Ground Floor, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU 30 May 2024, 11:00AM - 1:00PM Add to calendar<https://ilcs.sas.ac.uk/ics/89788> Book HERE<https://ilcs.sas.ac.uk/events/introduction-text-analysis-using-hathitrust-r…> Led by: Dr Isabella Magni (University of Sheffield) Join us for an interactive, hands-on workshop focusing on tools and methods to mine and analyse textual data, using the HathiTrust Research Center’s data and tools as practical case study. The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) facilitates text and data mining uses of the HathiTrust (HT) corpus, which contains over 18 million items digitised by partner libraries. This massive collection is available for computational analysis for users worldwide: the HTRC Analytics site also offers web-based, click-and-run tools to perform computational text analysis on volumes in the HathiTrust Digital Library, including topic modeling, Named Entity Recognition and token count. An example of the use of HTRC data and tools is the SCWAReD project(Opens in new window), which aimed at creating and analysing curated digital collections, highlighting the work of historically under-resourced and marginalised textual communities. This workshop will introduce HTRC, its data and analytical tools using the case study of the SCWAReDproject(Opens in new window), and will include hands-on practice with HTRC Analytics. No previous computations experience required.

Within these intersecting disciplinary contexts, there remains an ongoing need to explore how digital textual studies respond to more recent developments, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). While this critical conversation and event emerges from discussions with colleagues in French and Francophone Studies, and based primarily at French-speaking institutions, the event seeks to draw out broader insights and lessons for Languages and Cultures scholars and textual scholars widely defined across Comparative Studies, English, and Classics, and to contribute to efforts to raise the visibility of DH research from beyond predominantly Anglophone contexts. During the roundtable, speakers representing different research environments and institutional roles, will share their views, reflections, and constructive criticism, on the key points of (1) Innovation in the field of digital textual scholarship; (2) Institutional Policies & Funding; (3) Accessibility; (4) Opportunities/Future Directions. A drinks reception will follow this event, kindly funded by the Cassal Trust.

CFP Extension: Born-Digital Collections, Archives and Memory
by Michael Donnay 10 May '24

10 May '24

Dear colleagues, The Digital Humanities Research Hub at the School of Advanced Study, University of London, invites submissions for the inaugural Born-Digital Collections, Archives and Memory conference, to be hosted at the University of London and online from 2-4 April 2025 in collaboration with colleagues from Aarhus University, the British Library, and the Endangered Material Knowledge Programme at the British Museum. The deadline for submissions for the Born-Digital Collections, Archives and Memory Conference has been extended to Friday, 7 June 2024. We are also delighted to announce our first Keynote Speaker, Dorothy Berry, Digital Curator at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, where her focus is on enhancing public access to digital cultural heritage materials and creating new virtual environments for exploring Black history. Her work explores the intersections of information discovery and African American history, spanning from researching early mentions of African American concert music performances in newspaper databases to curating exhibits showcasing transatlantic art inspired by African American film. Key Information: * Dates: 2 - 4 April 2025 * Venue: University of London, London, UK & Online * CFP Deadline [extended]: 7 June 2024 * Notification of acceptance: early August 2024 * Submission link: https://easychair.org/cfp/borndigital2025 Digital research in the arts and humanities has traditionally focused on digitised objects and archives. However, born-digital cultural materials that originate and circulate across a range of formats and platforms are rapidly expanding and raising new opportunities and challenges for research, archiving and collecting communities. Collecting, accessing and sharing born-digital objects and data presents a range of complex technical, legal and ethical challenges that, if unaddressed, threaten the archival and research futures of these vital cultural materials and records of the 21st century. Moreover, the environments, contexts and formats through which born-digital records are mediated necessitate reconceptualising the materials and practices we associate with cultural heritage and memory. Research and practitioner communities working with born-digital materials are growing and their interests are varied, from digital cultures and intangible cultural heritage to web archives, electronic literatures and social media. This international conference seeks to further an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral discussion on how the born-digital transforms what and how we research in the humanities. We invite contributions from researchers and practitioners involved in any way in accessing or developing born-digital collections and archives, and interested in exploring the novel and transformative effects of born-digital cultural heritage. More details can be found at the conference website<https://www.sas.ac.uk/borndigital2025> and the full CFP and submission portal is available here: https://easychair.org/cfp/borndigital2025 If you have any questions, please contact the Organising Committee at borndigital(a)sas.ac.uk<mailto:[email protected]>.

23rd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2024) Baltimore, Maryland, U.S., November 11-15, 2024 http://iswc2024.semanticweb.org Call for Tutorials: http://tinyurl.com/iswc2024Tutorials Submissions due: May 23, 2024 Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2024 ISWC is the premier venue for presenting state of the art research and innovative systems related to the Semantic Web and Linked Data, attracting a large number of high quality submissions every year and participants from both academia and industry. ISWC brings together researchers from different areas, such as knowledge representation, artificial intelligence, databases, natural language processing, information systems, human computer interaction, information retrieval, web science, etc., who investigate, develop and use novel methods and technologies for representing, accessing, interpreting, and using information on the Web in a more effective way. == Call for Tutorials == Tutorials are the perfect occasion for participants to deepen their knowledge on a topic: for early-stage researchers, it may mean learning about basic or advanced topics mainly related to research methods and Semantic Web technologies; for experienced researchers, it may mean having the chance to acquire new skills on specialised research areas and approaches that could complement their pre-existing research focus; for practitioners, it may mean to gain knowledge and initial “seeds” to start new experimentations and applications. For ISWC attendees, we expect tutorials of the following types: - Tutorials providing an introduction to well established Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph aspects (e.g. RDF, OWL, SPARQL, SHACL, linked data principles, etc.) or to research methodologies in the field (e.g. FAIR principles, Open Science, etc.). - Tutorials describing the cross-link between Semantic Web/Knowledge Graph technologies and other disciplines/application domains (e.g. big data, machine learning, generative AI, etc.) to explore the complementarities and the possible value they could bring each other - Tutorials presenting specific technologies/trends or applications/tools in Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph.
