*apologies for cross-postings* Please circulate this to all scholars who may be interested. We are happy to announce the first edition of DH4MA, the International workshop on tangible and intangible heritage digitization to promote marginal areas and rural development. Title DH4MA - (Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas) About The Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas (DH4MA) workshop aims to investigate the state of the art of tangible and intangible heritage digitization in marginal and rural areas and their accessibility. DH4MA will be held in conjunction with the DH2023 conference <https://dh2023.adho.org/> and is organized in the framework of the KiNESIS Erasmus+ project <https://www.kinesis-network.eu/homesite/1/1/home-page.html>. The digital divide issue affects several areas all over the world, including those that despite being part of the most developed countries, are behind the times of the digital revolution. Museums, libraries and centres of culture located in these areas often cannot foster their cultural heritage. In light of the above, Digital Humanities (DH) techniques represent an opportunity not to be missed to raise awareness of their cultural heritage and to overcome the digital divide. The consciousness of the digital divide, poor visibility and the need to improve communication strategies emerged during the covid-19 lockdown, when several cultural institutions made their cultural heritage available online (Cicerchia et al., 2021; Agostino et al., 2020; Fresh, 2021), allowing people to enjoy it in a new different way (e.g. Guggenheim Museum of New York <https://www.guggenheim.org/group-visits>, The Paul Getty Museum of Los Angeles <https://artsandculture.google.com/streetview/the-j-paul-getty-museum/cwFdGY…>, The Uffizi Gallery of Florence <https://www.virtualuffizi.com/map-%26-virtual-tour.html>, The Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam <https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/masterpieces-up-close>). Nevertheless, small centres of culture were not able to offer their collections online. Only a few of them were able to make a real revolution (Roblek et al., 2021), also by exploiting cooperation between only seemingly distant disciplines (e.g. computer science and librarians, humanists and game creators) to promote tangible and intangible heritage. Topics of interest Relevant topics for the DH4MA workshop include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - Cultural heritage digitization in marginal and rural areas; - Best practices to reduce the digital divide in marginal and rural areas; - Investigation and evaluation of the degree of digitization in marginal and rural areas; - DH techniques to promote cultural heritage; - Promoting cultural heritage through gamification techniques; - Research cooperation between people/teams with different expertise to promote cultural heritage; - Research projects aiming to reduce the digital divide; - Research projects aimed at promoting cultural heritage through cooperation between scholars and local associations Research questions Bringing together scholars dealing with different research fields, the DH4MA aims to answer (not only) the following questions: - Do exist examples of tangible and intangible heritage digitization that can be defined as best practices? - Which are the best strategies implemented at the global level to reduce the digital divide between marginal and rural areas and most developed areas? - Which are the best examples of cultural heritage promotion through the collaboration between people/teams with different backgrounds? - Is it possible to consider cultural heritage promotion through DH techniques as an opportunity to fight the depopulation phenomenon? How? Submission instructions Contributions must be submitted in English and represent original and unpublished work that is not currently under review. Contributions will be evaluated by the Program Committee according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the DH4MA workshop. Contributions must be sent via email at dhformarginalareas(a)gmail.com by Wednesday, 12th April 2023 Sunday, 23rd April 2023 and must not exceed 1,500 words in length (not including the bibliography). The publication of a selection of contributions from the DH4MA workshop is planned. After the workshop, authors of the selected contributions will be asked to send an extended version. Further details on the publication will follow soon. Submissions will be evaluated based on - Reviewers’ general recommendation for acceptance; - Level of innovation of the contribution to DH subject area(s); - Appropriateness of the state of the art presented (including a bibliography); - Clarity and appropriateness of the research methodology described; - Clear and comprehensible submission Venue The DH4MA workshop will take place on-site at the University of Graz, Austria, in the framework of the DH2023 conference <https://dh2023.adho.org/>. Further details on the venue will follow soon. Best contribution award The contribution presenting the best use of DH techniques to promote cultural heritage in marginal and rural areas will be rewarded. The prize is sponsored by the KiNESIS Erasmus+ project <https://www.kinesis-network.eu/homesite/1/1/home-page.html>. All the Program Committee members will have the right to vote for the best contribution. Important dates Submission deadline - 12 April 2023 23 April 2023 Notification of acceptance - 3 May 2023 Workshop - 10 or 11 July 2023 (TBA) In line with the DH2023 conference theme (i.e. Collaboration as opportunity), contributions presenting successful cooperation between only seemingly distant disciplines to promote cultural heritage are highly requested.

SIG-DLS Workshop (bursaries update and new deadline)
by Simone Rebora 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Dear all, We are happy to announce that the SIG-DLS bursaries for the DH2023 Workshop have been increased to the amount of 500 Euros each. Please spread the news! See the updated Call here <https://dls.hypotheses.org/1315> and below (with new deadline 26 April). All the best, Simone Rebora (for the SIG-DLS steering committee) === *DH2023 Workshop – SIG-DLS Seven Years on* Seven years have passed since the constitution of the ADHO Special Interest Group “Digital Literary Stylistics” (SIG-DLS). In the meantime, the research field has changed, with the advent of new methodologies (drawing on the constantly growing field of computational linguistics) and the affirmation of emerging theories and definitions (such as the modeling paradigm in “computational literary studies”). At the same time, some aspects and reference points have remained the same, such as the confirmed success of frequency-based approaches and the pivotal role of statistical methods. With this workshop, we would like to provide a renewed overview of the field of Digital Literary Stylistics, in ideal dialogue with the seminal workshop organized at DH2016, which allowed the constitution of the SIG-DLS. We therefore open a Call for Papers to all related areas of research, including (and not limited to): - understanding and improving “classic” stylometric methods (between Delta and Zeta) - stylometric feature engineering (character n-grams, words, syntax, and beyond) - integration with advanced language models (e.g. word embeddings and Transformer models) - identifying the source(s) of stylistic difference (from authors to genres, epochs, and beyond) - style annotations (e.g. phenomenological dimension of style, gestalt annotations) - style in different contexts (e.g. social media style, style of artificial agents) - style in translation, cross-linguistic and cross-cultural style comparisons - style as reader/text interaction - style and complexity - style and quality - tools, platforms and infrastructures for digital literary stylistics - (FAIR) development and sharing of corpora and collections To submit a contribution, please send a brief abstract for a 20-minute presentation (max 250 words) to simone.rebora(a)uni-mainz.de* by 26 April 2023.* All proposals will be peer-reviewed by the programme committee and notifications of acceptance will be sent by 8 May 2023. *SIG-DLS Bursary:* for this year, SIG-DLS offers two bursaries (500 Euros each) to outstanding papers presented by early stage researchers. If you intend to apply, please add a short letter of motivation to your submission. *Organising & programme committee* Simone Rebora (University of Mainz) Joanna Byszuk (Institute of Polish Language of the Polish Academy of Sciences) Francesca Frontini (Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale “A. Zampolli”, CNR Pisa) Berenike Herrmann (Bielefeld University, Basel University) Suzanne Mpouli (Paris Cité University) Pablo Ruiz Fabo (University of Strasbourg)

Museum Analytics: New Directions - Registration
by Andrea Ballatore 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Museum Analytics: New Directions Organisers: Andrea Ballatore and Jamie Larkin, with the support of Zhi Ye Event date: 18 May 2023 Location: King’s College London and online (Teams) Registration for participants Please register using this <form><https://forms.office.com/e/APq1CxAkFb>. For in-person participation, the registration deadline is the 19th of April 2023. We have a limited number of spaces available in person - we will email you to confirm your reservation. The link for online participation will be circulated by email before the event. If you are a speaker, you need not register on this form. Programme https://kingsdh.net/2023/04/05/museum-analytics-programme/ Event description Data science has the capacity to revitalise our understanding of the museum sector, through reframing the history of museum development, charting museum geographies, and highlighting new data relationships in innovative and dynamic ways (e.g. Ballatore & Candlin, 2022). It can also illuminate broader relationships between museums, society, and the wider Creative and Cultural Industries (e.g. Me|Mind, 2021), to help produce more joined-up cultural policy and strategy (Centre for Cultural Value, 2022). The application of data analytics presents growing opportunities for institutions and researchers across the cultural sector. While museums often use data to develop visitor profiles and drive income generation, there is tremendous scope to leverage data in ways that reimagine the cultural work of the museum and knowledge of the museum sector. Within museums, work has taken place to use data to enhance curatorial decision-making (Tate, 2016), to personalise collections databases (Noehrer et al., 2022), and to enrich and improve visitor experiences (e.g. Villaespesa & Murphy, 2021).

CfP SIG-DLS Workshop at DH2023
by Simone Rebora 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Dear all, To keep up the tradition, the SIG-DLS organizes a workshop at DH2023 in Graz. This year we have opened a Call for Papers and we are also offering two bursaries to outstanding papers by early stage researchers. Please spread the word as widely as possible! You can find the Call at this link ( https://dls.hypotheses.org/1315) and copy-pasted here below. All the best, Simone (for the SIG-DLS steering committee) === *DH2023 Workshop – SIG-DLS Seven Years on* Seven years have passed since the constitution of the ADHO Special Interest Group “Digital Literary Stylistics” (SIG-DLS). In the meantime, the research field has changed, with the advent of new methodologies (drawing on the constantly growing field of computational linguistics) and the affirmation of emerging theories and definitions (such as the modeling paradigm in “computational literary studies”). At the same time, some aspects and reference points have remained the same, such as the confirmed success of frequency-based approaches and the pivotal role of statistical methods. With this workshop, we would like to provide a renewed overview of the field of Digital Literary Stylistics, in ideal dialogue with the seminal workshop organized at DH2016, which allowed the constitution of the SIG-DLS. We therefore open a Call for Papers to all related areas of research, including (and not limited to): - understanding and improving “classic” stylometric methods (between Delta and Zeta) - stylometric feature engineering (character n-grams, words, syntax, and beyond) - integration with advanced language models (e.g. word embeddings and Transformer models) - identifying the source(s) of stylistic difference (from authors to genres, epochs, and beyond) - style annotations (e.g. phenomenological dimension of style, gestalt annotations) - style in different contexts (e.g. social media style, style of artificial agents) - style in translation, cross-linguistic and cross-cultural style comparisons - style as reader/text interaction - style and complexity - style and quality - tools, platforms and infrastructures for digital literary stylistics - (FAIR) development and sharing of corpora and collections To submit a contribution, please send a brief abstract (max 250 words) to simone.rebora(a)uni-mainz.de* by 16 April 2023.* All proposals will be peer-reviewed by the programme committee and notifications of acceptance will be sent by 30 April 2023. *SIG-DLS Bursary:* for this year, SIG-DLS offers two bursaries (275 Euros each) to outstanding papers presented by early stage researchers. If you intend to apply, please add a short letter of motivation to your submission. *Organising & programme committee* Simone Rebora (University of Mainz) Joanna Byszuk (Institute of Polish Language of the Polish Academy of Sciences) Francesca Frontini (Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale “A.

Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas Workshop @ DH2023
by Carola Carlino 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

*apologies for cross-postings* Please circulate this to all scholars who may be interested. We are happy to announce the first edition of DH4MA, the International workshop on tangible and intangible heritage digitization to promote marginal areas and rural development. Title DH4MA - (Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas) About The Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas (DH4MA) workshop aims to investigate the state of the art of tangible and intangible heritage digitization in marginal and rural areas and their accessibility. DH4MA will be held in conjunction with the DH2023 conference <https://dh2023.adho.org/> and is organized in the framework of the KiNESIS Erasmus+ project <https://www.kinesis-network.eu/homesite/1/1/home-page.html>. The digital divide issue affects several areas all over the world, including those that despite being part of the most developed countries, are behind the times of the digital revolution. Museums, libraries and centres of culture located in these areas often cannot foster their cultural heritage. In light of the above, Digital Humanities (DH) techniques represent an opportunity not to be missed to raise awareness of their cultural heritage and to overcome the digital divide. The consciousness of the digital divide, poor visibility and the need to improve communication strategies emerged during the covid-19 lockdown, when several cultural institutions made their cultural heritage available online (Cicerchia et al., 2021; Agostino et al., 2020; Fresh, 2021), allowing people to enjoy it in a new different way (e.g. Guggenheim Museum of New York <https://www.guggenheim.org/group-visits>, The Paul Getty Museum of Los Angeles <https://artsandculture.google.com/streetview/the-j-paul-getty-museum/cwFdGY…>, The Uffizi Gallery of Florence <https://www.virtualuffizi.com/map-%26-virtual-tour.html>, The Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam <https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/masterpieces-up-close>). Nevertheless, small centres of culture were not able to offer their collections online. Only a few of them were able to make a real revolution (Roblek et al., 2021), also by exploiting cooperation between only seemingly distant disciplines (e.g. computer science and librarians, humanists and game creators) to promote tangible and intangible heritage. Topics of interest Relevant topics for the DH4MA workshop include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - Cultural heritage digitization in marginal and rural areas; - Best practices to reduce the digital divide in marginal and rural areas; - Investigation and evaluation of the degree of digitization in marginal and rural areas; - DH techniques to promote cultural heritage; - Promoting cultural heritage through gamification techniques; - Research cooperation between people/teams with different expertise to promote cultural heritage; - Research projects aiming to reduce the digital divide; - Research projects aimed at promoting cultural heritage through cooperation between scholars and local associations Research questions Bringing together scholars dealing with different research fields, the DH4MA aims to answer (not only) the following questions: - Do exist examples of tangible and intangible heritage digitization that can be defined as best practices? - Which are the best strategies implemented at the global level to reduce the digital divide between marginal and rural areas and most developed areas? - Which are the best examples of cultural heritage promotion through the collaboration between people/teams with different backgrounds? - Is it possible to consider cultural heritage promotion through DH techniques as an opportunity to fight the depopulation phenomenon? How? Submission instructions Contributions must be submitted in English and represent original and unpublished work that is not currently under review. Contributions will be evaluated by the Program Committee according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the DH4MA workshop. Contributions must be sent via email at dhformarginalareas(a)gmail.com by Wednesday, 12th April 2023 and must not exceed 1,500 words in length (not including the bibliography). The publication of a selection of contributions from the DH4MA workshop is planned. After the workshop, authors of the selected contributions will be asked to send an extended version. Further details on the publication will follow soon. Submissions will be evaluated based on - Reviewers’ general recommendation for acceptance; - Level of innovation of the contribution to DH subject area(s); - Appropriateness of the state of the art presented (including a bibliography); - Clarity and appropriateness of the research methodology described; - Clear and comprehensible submission Venue The DH4MA workshop will take place on-site at the University of Graz, Austria, in the framework of the DH2023 conference <https://dh2023.adho.org/>. Further details on the venue will follow soon. Best contribution award The contribution presenting the best use of DH techniques to promote cultural heritage in marginal and rural areas will be rewarded. The prize is sponsored by the KiNESIS Erasmus+ project <https://www.kinesis-network.eu/homesite/1/1/home-page.html>. All the Program Committee members will have the right to vote for the best contribution. Important dates Submission deadline - 12 April 2023 Notification of acceptance - 3 May 2023 Workshop - 10 or 11 July 2023 (TBA) In line with the DH2023 conference theme (i.e. Collaboration as opportunity), contributions presenting successful cooperation between only seemingly distant disciplines to promote cultural heritage are highly requested. As workshop organizers, we will ensure a welcoming, antiracist, anti discriminatory and inclusive environment in full respect of human beings.

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

[Call for abstracts] Museum Analytics, new directions - deadline 20 Jan
by Andrea Ballatore 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

📢 Call for abstracts: https://kingsdh.net/museum-analytics/ 🐦 Tweet: https://twitter.com/kingsdh/status/1592082797610647552 💡 Organisers: Dr. Andrea Ballatore, King’s College London, UK • Dr. Jamie Larkin, Chapman University, CA 🌎 Location (hybrid): King’s College London (The Strand, London, UK) and online ⏰ Submission deadline: Friday 20 January 2023 🗓 Event date: Thursday 18 May 2023 Museum Analytics: New directions Call for abstracts Data science has the capacity to revitalise our understanding of the museum sector, through reframing the history of museum development, charting museum geographies, and highlighting new data relationships in innovative and dynamic ways (e.g. Ballatore & Candlin, 2022). It can also illuminate broader relationships between museums, society, and the wider Creative and Cultural Industries (e.g. Me|Mind, 2021), to help produce more joined-up cultural policy and strategy (Centre for Cultural Value, 2022). The application of data analytics presents growing opportunities for institutions and researchers across the cultural sector. While museums often use data to develop visitor profiles and drive income generation, there is tremendous scope to leverage data in ways that reimagine the cultural work of the museum and knowledge of the museum sector. Within museums, work has taken place to use data to enhance curatorial decision-making (Tate, 2016), to personalise collections databases (Noehrer et al., 2022), and to enrich and improve visitor experiences (e.g. Villaespesa & Murphy, 2021). Stemming from the Mapping Museums project (http://www.mappingmuseums.org<http://www.mappingmuseums.org/>), this one-day conference seeks to draw together museum studies scholars, data scientists, cultural policymakers, and geographers to discuss and debate the role and scope of museum analytics and to frame the development of this area of research and practice. We seek presentations of 15 minutes that examine new directions and applications for museum analytics. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Applications of data analytics in new areas of museum practice * Innovative data collection methods in museums * Social media analytics and user-generated content * New methods for audience analytics and profiling * Data-driven museum marketing * Artificial intelligence (AI) and museums * Ethical considerations surrounding data practices and datafication in museums * Innovative data applications in digital museum contexts * Museum analytics and cultural policy * Data vocabularies and linked data for museums * Data infrastructures and capacity across the museum sector * Quantitative geographies and histories of museums * History of data science methods to study museums Please send an abstract of c300 words outlining your proposed contribution by 20th January 2023 by using this form: https://forms.office.com/r/EYEBFMUdkY Decisions on abstracts will be made by 20 February 2023. We will select abstracts in terms of relevance and originality, also considering the balance between in-person and online speakers. The objectives of the event include the development and promotion of a sector-wide agenda and, more modestly, a special issue in an international journal. The event will be free to all participants, in person and online (£0).

[CFP] Second International Workshop on Multisensory Data & Knowledge @ TheWebConf 2023
by Albert Meroño Peñuela 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Call for Papers Second International Workshop on Multisensory Data & Knowledge in conjunction with TheWebConf 2023 https://odeuropa.github.io/mdk/ Important dates: - Workshop papers submissions - 6 February, 2023 - 23:59 AOE - Notification - 6 March, 2023 - Camera Ready Submission - 20 March, 2023 - Workshop Day - 1 or 2 May, 2023 Motivations: Our senses are the gateways to our memories and emotions. However, they are under-represented in language technology and semantic web research. In this workshop, two recently awarded H2020 projects, Odeuropa and Polifonia, are teaming up to advance our understanding of how smells and music are represented in texts and structured data. The topics we want to address revolve around extracting references to smells, music, context, and visual information from text as well as relevant data describing their cultural, historical and political context, and model them in the form of interlinked knowledge graphs. This research has a strong interdisciplinary character, hence the workshop has the potential to attract researchers from diverse disciplines from both social sciences and humanities and computer science. Its potential impact is significant to many application areas including: preservation and valorisation of cultural heritage, data-driven policy making in cultural heritage, urban planning, artistic performances, applications for scholars in musicology and history, applications for museums, innovation in teaching, maintenance and exploitation of large catalogues, archives and libraries. We aim at creating a reference venue where new ideas and results can be shared and lead the way towards a technological and cultural shift in how we understand and experience our cultural heritage. Topics of interest: The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Olfactory, musical and visual information extraction from text Olfactory, musical and visual knowledge representation Resources for olfactory, musical and visual knowledge Extraction of socio-cultural and historical context information from text Extraction of time, space, events, people and (musical, olfactory and visual) artifacts from text Knowledge graphs integrating olfactory, musical and visual knowledge Multilingual text corpora on musical and olfactory heritage Automatic and semi-automatic generation of language descriptions of sensory experience Methods and approaches to represent degrees of sensorial experiences (e.g. intensity, dissipation) Applications for teaching/training/valorisation of multisensory data and knowledge Submission: We solicit submissions of long and short papers covering a wide range of NLP and semantic web topics dealing with the extraction and analysis of information from multisensory data. Papers presenting collaborations among researchers with different backgrounds or from different research communities are particularly welcome. All submissions must be in PDF and written in English, single-blind and formatted in the style of the ACM template and format as the main TheWebConf 2023 conference (see the instruction for authors). Workshop papers should not exceed 12 pages in length (maximum 8 pages for the main paper content + maximum 2 pages for appendixes + maximum 2 pages for references). Papers must be submitted in PDF format according to the ACM template published in the ACM guidelines, selecting the generic “sigconf” sample. The PDF files must have all non-standard fonts embedded. Workshop papers must be self-contained and in English. The MDK 2023 proceedings will be published in the conference’s companion volume. The submission web site is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=thewebconf2023iwpd (select ‘‘2nd International Workshop on Multisensory Data and Knowledge (MDK)’’ when creating a new submission). For any questions, please feel free to contact the organisers directly, or via thewebconf2023companion(a)easychair.org.

DHRH Seminar series, School of Advanced Study, University of London | 'Reframing failure'
by Anna-Maria Sichani 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Hi all, I’m writing to share registration details for the remaining DHRH seminar sessions of the Reframing Failure series. If you’d like to attend, please register so that you can receive the correct Zoom details. All are welcome! ---- Reframing Failure Seminar Series Most of us recognise that failure is an unavoidable part of any scholarly endeavour - let alone life - especially for people who work across disciplines. Yet, for something so central to our experience, it often sits at the periphery of our writing, training, and professional discourse. The Reframing Failure seminar series explores how we can reframe failure within the digital humanities: the ways we can learn from it, talk about it, and hopefully reconsider our collective relationship to it. Conceived as a series of conversations, Reframing Failure presents an opportunity to reflect on practice. It welcomes those from within and outside the digital humanities and takes an international and interdisciplinary approach to failure. Reframing Failure is a virtual seminar series hosted by the Digital Humanities Research Hub <https://www.sas.ac.uk/digital-humanities> at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. If you have any questions about the series, please email the facilitators Anna-Maria Sichani and Michael Donnay at digitalhumanities(a)sas.ac.uk. ---- Seminar 2: DH broken - Between experimentation and degradation <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Wednesday 25 January 2023 at 17:00 GMT In digital humanities, things break. All the time. Whether a project has come to the end of its life or is an early prototype, ‘brokenness’ is something digital humanities practitioners will need to address. What can we learn from these encounters with brokenness and how can that shape future projects? Panellists include: - Jenny Mitcham (Digital Preservation Coalition) - Arianna Ciula (King's Digital Lab) - Sara Namusoga-Kaale (Makere University) - Frances Corry (University of Pennsylvania) - Jentery Sayers (University of Victoria) - Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study) - Chair Seminar 3: Rejected - failed funding bids, project proposals and job applications <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Wednesday 8 March 2023 at 17:00 GMT Rejection is an essential part of the current academic landscape and everyone has a collection of failed funding bids, project proposals and job applications. What can we learn from these rejections? Panellists include: - Lauren Tuckley (Georgetown University) - Naomi Wells (School of Advanced Study) - Additional speakers to be announced. Seminar 4: It’s complicated: collaborations and partnerships <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Thursday 23 March 2023 at 17:00 GMT A common challenge for digital humanities projects - and a place where many stumble - is managing collaborations across disciplines, cultures, and communities of practice. These differences raise questions of translation, inclusivity, and workplace norms for digital humanities practitioners. Panellists include: - Ruth Ahnert (Queen Mary University of London) - Helen Graham (University of Leeds) - Arran Rees (University of Leeds) - Emma Jaster (Laboratory for Global Performance & Politics) - Daniela Major (School of Advanced Study) - Caio Mello (School of Advanced Study) - Jennifer Stertzer (University of Virginia) Seminar 5: Communicating failure <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Thursday 11 May 2023 at 17:00 GMT Failure can be challenging to talk about, especially in the formal publication venues that count for researcher’s career advancement. What can we do to expose the ‘messiness’ of digital research when we discuss our work? Panellists include: - Britt Amell (Carleton University) - Nabeel Siddiqui (Susquehanna University) - Janneke Adema (Coventry University) - Gabby Boddard (School of Advanced Study) - Annika Rockenberger (University of Oslo) Seminar 6: After failure <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Tuesday 23 May 2023 at 17:00 GMT If failure forms an essential part of scholarly practice, what comes after failure? How can national organisations encourage failing productively? Are there alternative approaches to research, such as ‘slow scholarship’ or ‘failure as methodology’, that can be integrated into our own research methods? Panellists include: - Lisa Goddard (University of Victoria) - Scott B. Weingart - David Stevenson (Queen Mary University of London) - Joris van Zundert (Huygens - KNAW) -- *Dr. Anna-Maria Sichani* *Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Digital Humanities | The Congruence Engine: Digital Tools for New Collections-Based Industrial Histories (TaNC-AHRC)* *Digital Humanities Research Hub | **School of Advanced Study , University of London* *UKRI Policy and Engagement Fellow in Digital Research and Innovation Infrastructure* *Editor, The Programming Historian* *Director, ProgHist Ltd. | **ProgHist Ltd is a charity registered in England and Wales (1195875) and incorporated in England and Wales as a company limited by guarantee (12192946).* *programminghistorian.org/ <http://programminghistorian.org/>* @amsichani <https://twitter.com/amsichani> amsichani.github.io *Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail* ** Please note that although my working pattern means that I might send you an email outside of normal office hours, I do not expect a response outside the hours of your own working pattern. * *

CFP: ELO 2023 Coimbra (Jan 20; July 12-15, 2023)
by Alexandra Saum Pascual 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Dear colleagues, The call for the 2023 Electronic Literature Organization Conference in Coimbra, Portugal is here! Please, help us spread the word. Looking forward to seeing you in Coimbra, Alex Link to the call https://eliterature.org/2022/11/cfp-elo-2023-coimbra-jan-20-july-12-15-2023/ pdf. also attached CFP: ELO 2023 COIMBRA (JAN 20; JULY 12-15, 2023) ELECTRONIC LITERATURE ORGANIZATION 2023 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND MEDIA ARTS SHOW *OVERCOMING DIVIDES: ELECTRONIC LITERATURE AND SOCIAL CHANGE* *JULY 12-15, 2023 – COIMBRA, PORTUGAL* Join us this summer for four days of digital art and scholarship at the ELO 2023 Conference and Media Arts Show in beautiful Coimbra, Portugal, the 12th to the 15th of July. The 2023 conference, “Overcoming Divides: Electronic Literature and Social Change,” advocates the dismantlement of economic, political, linguistic, and cultural barriers, focusing on the relation between art and society, as well as on the subversive potential of electronic literature. Art and literature compulsively respond to undergoing socio-political transformations. Whether overtly committed to social causes or inevitably engulfed by waves of change, writers and artists are influenced by dramatic shifts motivated by local or global issues such as climate change, economic crisis, military conflicts, and repressive or coercive government policies. The field of electronic literature, whose continuous reconfiguration is deeply intertwined with technological advancements, is no exception to this pattern. Equipped with the pervasiveness of network technology, as well as with software that can analyze and portray reality with the utmost detail, electronic literature is harnessed with adequate tools to voice environmental and social concerns and to expose oppressive and corrupt regimes. Highly experimental and focused on an introspective journey that aims to explore the creative amplitude of emerging technologies, electronic literature’s self-reflexive nature is also frequently mobilized to defy normative perspectives over literature and art, as well as to challenge deep-rooted cultural misconceptions. During this conference, we aim to explore how electronic literature uses its critical media approach, as well as its close affinity with computation, to assume a socially engaged stance. In a time when walls are being raised once again, this conference examines electronic literature’s role in the dismantlement of new and old barriers between people. ELO23 will be held in a national monument (Convento São Francisco), overlooking the University of Coimbra as well as Coimbra’s Uptown and Downtown areas, both designated World Heritage by UNESCO in 2013. Challenging the social asymmetry represented by the uptown/downtown divide, ELO23 will be extended from the university to the entire city center. Performances will be opened to the public, and exhibitions will take place at different locations in the city, thus integrating ELO Conference into Coimbra’s rich cultural life. Remote (online) participation will be limited to the scholarly dimension of the conference. We welcome scholarly and artistic proposals that explore a connection between electronic literature and the following themes, among others: · the role of literature in social change; · collaborative platforms and activist software; · digital humanities and memory preservation (archive); · environmental damage caused by digital technologies; · the impact of climate change; · language barriers, translation and linguistic diversity; · disabilities and accessibility; · mental health, trauma and cognitive diversity; · social and economic inequality; · digital literacy and societal transformation; · gender divide and identity diversity; · migrations and border enforcement; · hybridity, recombination and multilinearity as aesthetics of subversion; · documentary forms and nonfiction narrative. *ORGANIZERS *Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra (FLUC) *Partners and Sponsors *Center for Portuguese Literature (CLP) Instituto de Comunicação da NOVA (ICNOVA), Universidade Nova de Lisboa Programa de Doutoramento em Materialidades da Literatura, Universidade de Coimbra Universidade Fernando Pessoa (UFP) Câmara Municipal de Coimbra Exploratório – Centro Ciência Viva de Coimbra Museu da Ciência da Universidade de Coimbra Berkeley Center for New Media *HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSALS* All proposals will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process.

[Reminder & Extended Deadline: 15. Dec. 2022] Call for Abstracts - 3rd Workshop Urban History in the Age of Digital Libraries - Munich, Germany - 27-28 March 2023
by Sander Münster 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

[cid:[email protected]] 3rd Workshop on Research and Education in Urban History in the Age of Digital Libraries March 27-28, 2023, LMU, Munich, Germany CALL FOR PAPERS Submission deadline for extended abstracts (1500-2000 words): Extended Deadline: December 15th 2022 Event information: https://www.urbanhistory4d.org/wordpress/index.php/uhdl2023<https://www.urbanhistory4d.org/wordpress/index.php/uhdl2023/> Abstract Submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=uhdl2023 Proceedings<https://link.springer.com/conference/uhdl> will be published with Springer-Nature in their Communications in Computer and Information Science series. We kindly invite you to submit a contribution to the 3rd workshop on “Research and education in urban history in the age of digital libraries”. The event will take place in Munich, Germany on March 27-28, 2023. DESCRIPTION Urban and architectural history are key areas in digital humanities and digital heritage. With respect to these research areas, digital repositories, data and research methods play an important role, especially when hosting visual media like photographs, paintings, or drawings, and last but not least physical and virtual models. Due to the wide field of possible research, different approaches, methods and technologies have emerged – and are still emerging. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a full picture with regards to epistemics, technology and framework conditions. We aim to discuss crucial challenges for further research and encourage exchange and debate. We would like to invite contributions on theoretical and methodological issues, application scenarios and projects, as well as novel approaches and tools. This includes the following five areas: 1. Theory, Methods, and Systematization 2. Data handling and data schemes 3. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence 4. Visualization and Presentation 5. Education in urban history To this cause, we are seeking original and innovative contributions in theoretical and practical applications on Digital Cultural Heritage. TOPICS Theory, Methods, and Systematization Digital humanities research as an inherently interdisciplinary field has created a high demand for critically reflected methods, techniques, valid strategies, classifications, and quality standards. But do computing methods also lead to new and ground-breaking research questions, approaches, or insights into architectural and urban cultural heritage research? In most cases, the use of computing simply extends nondigital possibilities, without much change to the pre-digital approaches and research questions. Nevertheless, digitalization has dramatically altered research qualities, quantities, and workflows. We welcome contributions on: 1. relevant data for architectural and urban history in digital archives and image repositories 2. the effects of the use of digital archives and image repositories on scholarly work 3. concepts and projects for networking and cooperation 4. possible research questions regarding objects, spaces, content or historical events Data handling and data schemes The immense effort invested in digitization and rapid changes in technologies and formats has greatly increased the importance of data standards. Long-term data storage, availability of models and the interoperability of data formats are major challenges to existing digital infrastructures. We welcome contributions on: 1. 3D databases as a tool to support urban historical research 2. Metadata and paradata 3. Remote sensing approaches to support contextualization and intuitive access to data 4. Linked and semantic data related to urban historical research 5. the influence of knowledge of HCI on the design of historic models Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence During the past few years, various new technological opportunities have arisen from big data, Semantic Web technologies, and the exponential growth in data accessible via digital libraries such as EUROPEANA. Data-driven supervised and unsupervised classification approaches have been used to acquire high-level semantic concepts, especially from the interconnection of different types of data. Interdisciplinary collaborations between computer science and humanities disciplines are essential in developing methods and workflows to enable cultural heritage research to exploit machine learning approaches. We welcome contributions on: 1. use cases and best practices of applied machine learning in digital humanities research 2. novel approaches e.g., (semi-) automatic photogrammetric reconstruction of historical buildings from image databases Visualization and Presentation Historians in cultural heritage research today are enabled to explore new research directions due to the availability of multitudes of digitized historical photographs in image repositories. Moreover, novel approaches such as the photogrammetric reconstruction of historical buildings from image databases allow for contextualization and intuitive access to data. Typical motivations for accessing these archives and repositories are scientific research, pedagogical applications, and the study of historical sites. These areas require advances in methods for visualization and presentation of data to support the different target groups. We welcome contributions on: 1. Projects and investigations from urban history concerned with visualizations and presentation of spatial and/or scholarly data 2. Research scenarios for scholars using visualizations of urban history data 3. Interdisciplinarity, e.g. intersections between digital cultural heritage and (sustainable) tourism studies Education in urban history Education and support by digital libraries still only plays a minor role in scholarly discourses on cultural heritage and in particular urban history. There is still no broad consensus on specific education paradigms or a canon of didactic settings in digitally supported teaching on urban history, and as yet no larger studies have been conducted in this area. We welcome contributions on: 1. educational scenarios for teaching urban history supported by digital methods 2. approaches to employing large scale repositories for educational purposes in cultural history 3. the design of virtual experiences as e.g. city tours SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Please submit an extended abstract of 1500-2000 words in PDF format by December 15th 2022 (Extended Deadline) via the electronic upload submission procedure on the EasyChair website<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=uhdl2023>.

Survey on social justice and ethical research in the digital humanities
by Scholger, Walter (walter.scholger＠uni-graz.at) 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

Dear Colleagues, We are developing a new course for #dariahTeach <https://teach.dariah.eu> on the topic of social justice and ethical research in the digital humanities, funded by DARIAH EU. We are keen to cast our net widely to get an overview of what digital humanities projects and research has been or is being undertaken in this space. We would be very interested in learning of your digital scholarship in the area of social justice broadly conceived, including but not limited to gender, ethnicity, religion, indigenous peoples rights and interests, postcolonial, and decolonial research. We are interested in both project-based scholarship as well as more traditional publications. To this end, we have developed a survey that should not take more than 10-15 minutes to complete to gather information from the community. We plan on converting the survey to a registry within the #dariahTeach course so the wider DH community can also have an overview of scholarship in this area. We would appreciate your filling up the survey by 30 November to have the possibility of having your research integrated into the course. The URL for the survey is https://forms.gle/N756a7BnBV2MQcYZA If you have any questions about the development of the course, please email socialjusticeDT(a)gmail.com<mailto:[email protected]> With best wishes Susan Schreibman (University of Maastricht, Netherlands) Marianne Huang (Aarhus University, Denmark) Koraljka Kuzman Šlogar (Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research, Croatia) Costas Papadopoulos (Maastricht University, Netherlands) Walter Scholger (University of Gratz, Austria)

While tutorials may focus on theoretical topics, the organizers should incorporate hands-on exercises to engage the audience. The organizers are invited to include real-world examples of the topics handled, illustrating their relevance to the Semantic Web community. The tutorial should reach a good balance between the topic coverage and its relevance to the community. Tutorials can be half-day or full-day. We suggest having up to two presenters for half-day and up to four presenters for full-day tutorials, preferably from different institutions, contributing different perspectives to the tutorial topic. We privilege diversity in the organizing team as well as the presence of young researchers and PhD students. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * CALL FOR WORKSHOPS * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ESWC is a premier venue for discussing the latest scientific results and innovations in the field of semantic technologies on the Web and Linked Data, attracting a high number of participants from academia and industry alike. Co-located workshops at the ESWC conferences are essential meeting points for discussing on-going work and current results, as well as shaping new ideas and research fields. We particularly invite workshop proposals looking at topics related to Semantic Web from an interdisciplinary standpoint, proposals focussing on novel aspects of the Semantic Web and Web of Data, and proposals aiming at gathering existing and forming new sub-communities. We encourage the submission of workshop proposals on: - Fundamental technical and theoretical problems of the Semantic Web / Linked Data and Knowledge Graphs - Applications of Semantic Web technologies in domains such as Mobility and Smart Cities, Life Sciences, Industry 4.0, Earth Science, Digital Humanities, Law, Media, etc. - Key enabling technologies and their adaptation to the needs of the Semantic Web - Aspects of Semantic Web research that have been neglected or underrepresented so far - Techniques and methods from other research fields that are of relevance for Semantic Web research (e.g., artificial intelligence, databases, NLP, big data analytics, machine learning, human-computer interaction, information retrieval, web science, etc.) - Making the Semantic Web & Linked Data more accessible to end-users and developers alike - New emerging topics and areas -- Kind regards, Eleni and Romana Web and Publicity team of ESWC 2023 https://2023.eswc-conferences.org

Call for abstracts: Museum Analytics, new directions - 18 May 2023
by Ballatore, Andrea 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

📢 Call for abstracts: https://kingsdh.net/museum-analytics/ 🐦 Tweet: https://twitter.com/kingsdh/status/1592082797610647552 💡 Organisers: Dr. Andrea Ballatore, King’s College London, UK • Dr. Jamie Larkin, Chapman University, CA 🌎 Location (hybrid): King’s College London (The Strand, London, UK) and online ⏰ Submission deadline: Friday 20 January 2023 🗓 Event date: Thursday 18 May 2023 Museum Analytics: New directions Call for abstracts Data science has the capacity to revitalise our understanding of the museum sector, through reframing the history of museum development, charting museum geographies, and highlighting new data relationships in innovative and dynamic ways (e.g. Ballatore & Candlin, 2022). It can also illuminate broader relationships between museums, society, and the wider Creative and Cultural Industries (e.g. Me|Mind, 2021), to help produce more joined-up cultural policy and strategy (Centre for Cultural Value, 2022). The application of data analytics presents growing opportunities for institutions and researchers across the cultural sector. While museums often use data to develop visitor profiles and drive income generation, there is tremendous scope to leverage data in ways that reimagine the cultural work of the museum and knowledge of the museum sector. Within museums, work has taken place to use data to enhance curatorial decision-making (Tate, 2016), to personalise collections databases (Noehrer et al., 2022), and to enrich and improve visitor experiences (e.g. Villaespesa & Murphy, 2021). Stemming from the Mapping Museums project (http://www.mappingmuseums.org<http://www.mappingmuseums.org/>), this one-day conference seeks to draw together museum studies scholars, data scientists, cultural policymakers, and geographers to discuss and debate the role and scope of museum analytics and to frame the development of this area of research and practice. We seek presentations of 15 minutes that examine new directions and applications for museum analytics. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Applications of data analytics in new areas of museum practice * Innovative data collection methods in museums * Social media analytics and user-generated content * New methods for audience analytics and profiling * Data-driven museum marketing * Artificial intelligence (AI) and museums * Ethical considerations surrounding data practices and datafication in museums * Innovative data applications in digital museum contexts * Museum analytics and cultural policy * Data vocabularies and linked data for museums * Data infrastructures and capacity across the museum sector * Quantitative geographies and histories of museums * History of data science methods to study museums Please send an abstract of c300 words outlining your proposed contribution by 20th January 2023 by using this form: https://forms.office.com/r/EYEBFMUdkY Decisions on abstracts will be made by 20 February 2023. We will select abstracts in terms of relevance and originality, also considering the balance between in-person and online speakers. The objectives of the event include the development and promotion of a sector-wide agenda and, more modestly, a special issue in an international journal. The event will be free to all participants, in person and online (£0).
