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 websitehttps://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=uhdl2023. Please use the Springer LaTeX2e, Microsoft Word 2003 or Microsoft Word 2007 templates and guidelineshttps://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui... for formatting your extended abstract. For more information about publishing in Springer-Nature CCIS: Anonymity Guidelines for abstract submission: 1. Remove author and institutional information from the author list on the title page. 2. Remove author information from all paper headers. 3. Remove clues from the main text that would directly identify any of the authors. All submissions will be peer reviewed for their originality, validity, methodology, writing quality and overall contribution to the research fields of the joint event. PUBLICATION PLAN Contributors are invited to submit a full paper to be included into post-conference proceedings which will be published in the Springer CCIS serieshttps://link.springer.com/conference/uhdl. For the proceedings we expect to receive original contributions in one of two formats: 1. FULL PAPER presenting research outcomes (20 pages) 2. PROJECT PAPER presenting research approaches, ongoing research or theoretical perspectives (15 pages) All contributed full paper will undergo a second double-blind peer review to ensure scientific and formal quality.
