Brown University Center for Digital Scholarship

robertordtLeave a comment

We are very pleased to announce the launch of the Center for Digital Scholarship, a new digital center in the Brown University Library. The CDS is a focal point for digital humanities research and development at Brown, working in close partnership with individual researchers and academic centers across the campus and at other institutions. Among its activiites are outreach programs, internships, digitization and enhancement of significant library collections, lectures and events, project development and grant development.

Under the leadership of Patrick Yott, Director of Digital Technologies, the CDS brings together several groups, each with its own long history:

The Scholarly Technology Group
Founded in 1994, STG has been a center of activity in digital humanities scholarship, with a strong program of research and publication projects, events and grant development and support.

The Women Writers Project
First funded in 1988, the WWP is a research group with a dual focus on early women’s writing and the impact of digital textuality on humanities scholarship. The WWP publishes Women Writers Online and conducts grant-funded research on text encoding and digital scholarship; it also provides seminars, workshops, and documentation on using the TEI Guidelines.

The Center for Digital Initiatives
Founded in 2001, the CDI provides high-quality digitization, metadata development, repository services, and consultation on digital projects.

Please visit the CDS site at http://library.brown.edu/cds/ and in particular:

• Our database of CDS projects, http://library.brown.edu/cds/ projects

• Our research library of papers, reports, and documentation, http://library.brown.edu/cds/research/publications-and-documents

• Our listing of outreach programs, http://library.brown.edu/cds/programs/education-and-outreach

Survey Request: Digital Resources

robertordtLeave a comment

Dear Colleague,

Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) is a large-scale collaborative research project in the digital humanities directed by Dr. Ray Siemens, Department of English, University of Victoria, and funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). Our research team is examining the complex processes of human engagement with information that is available digitally. Specifically, we are interested in identifying and understanding the ways in which social sciences and humanities readers engage with forms such as the electronic scholarly edition, the academic monograph, scholarly journal and essay collections, and electronic literature.

With this letter, we are inviting you to complete a short survey about how you experience and use digital resources in the context of your research. The findings of this survey will be used to improve existing digital tools and to derive requirements for prospective tools and resources that we hope will be of benefit to you and other researchers.

The questionnaire should take approximately twenty minutes to complete. If you are willing to participate, you will find it online at  http://infopoll.net/live/surveys/s34325.htm . Your identity will be kept confidential. All documents and participants will be identified only by code number. Digital data records will be kept on password-protected hard drives and on disks stored in locked filing cabinets. Only the principal investigator and the co-investigators will have access to the data. If you have any concerns about your treatment or rights as a research participant, you may contact the Research Subject Information Line in the UBC Office of Research Services at 604-822-8598. Your participation in this study is entirely voluntary and you may refuse to participate or withdraw from the study at any time. Your completion and submission of the survey will indicate your consent to participate.

In consideration of your time, you may enter a draw for a $150.00 gift certificate from an online bookstore upon completion of the questionnaire.

We look forward to the prospect of your participation in this study. Please feel free to contact the INKE Graduate Research Assistant, Karen Taylor, at any time if you have questions about this research: 604-737-2873 (British Columbia, Canada) or <katay164@interchange.ubc.ca>.

Best regards,

Digital Humanities Workshops: Metadata, Markup and Emerging Tools for Scholarly Analysis and Presentation

robertordtLeave a comment

The DHO in conjunction with the University of Ulster is proud to present two one-day digital humanities workshop events: Seeing Data Differently and A Date With Data. Lead by Digital Humanities Specialists Shawn Day and Dr K Faith Lawrence these workshops will take place 17th and 18th February at the Magee Campus, University of Ulster.

The first workshop, ‘Seeing Data Differently: Emerging Tools for Scholarly Analysis and Presentation’, will combine a project clinic with hands-on demonstrations of web tools which can be used for managing, communicating and presenting data within and between digital humanities projects.

The second, ‘A Date With Data: What is this Markup Stuff Anyway?’, will provide beginners an introduction to metadata, markup and document encoding.

For more information and instructions on how to register for Seeing Data Differently and A Date With Data, please follow the links below to their respective event pages. Places are free but numbers are limited so early registration is recommended. Registration is done of a first come, first serve basis.

Got Markup? (of course you do!)

Want to get more out of it? Want to stretch it to the limit? Come to Balisage 2010, the peer-reviewed conference that makes you a markup geek (or at least feel like one)! Whether you’re into theory or practice, this is the place to be to find out where the cutting edge is-and go beyond it. Balisage looks at every aspect of markup, from its theoretical and philosophical underpinnings to the newest and coolest ways of applying it to real-world problems.

Got Something To Say About Markup? (of course you do!)

We want to hear from you at Balisage 2010. We welcome submissions on any aspect of markup and structured information in theory or practice, generic or application specific, including by not limited to:

  • principles for the design, development, and documentation of markup vocabularies
  • applications of XML, Topic Maps, and related specifications
  • use or implementation of XSLT, XQuery, XProc, and other tools for processing marked up data
  • XML and databases
  • libraries and designs for supporting XML (or other forms of descriptive markup) in general-purpose programming languages
  • efficiency in XML processing
  • techniques for quality assurance in markup systems
  • handling overlapping structures in markup
  • alternatives to XML
  • formal models of markup and structured information
  • principles and practice of data validation (including uses of XSD, Relax NG, Schematron, and other schema languages)
  • best practice in the organization of XML workflows
