Announcement of Parker Library-Keio EIRI Conference 2011

“Text, Image and the Digital Research Environment: Parker Library-Keio EIRI Conference on Medieval Manuscripts and Printed Books”

Friday 9 September 2011

Parker Library, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge

The monumental Parker on the Web project has now been up and running for several years, with constant updates and improvements. The Parker Library and the EIRI Project at Keio University (Tokyo) are co-organising a one-day conference focusing on new and future advances in digitisation and digitial resources and on the ways in which they are creating new research environments for medieval manuscripts and rare books. Papers will range from individual research papers to institutional projects. More information about speakers and the registration can be found at:

CFP: Spatial and Digital History sessions, ESSHC Glasgow 2012

digitalmedievalistnewsLeave a comment

Following the success of the 2010 meeting in Ghent, the European Social Science History Conference has created a new “Spatial and Digital History” network. The aim of the network is to showcase and advance academic research that uses digital and spatial approaches to gain a better understanding of the past. These include fields such as: Digital History, History and Computing, Historical GIS, Spatial History and Historical Geography.

The 2012 meeting will take place in Glasgow, Scotland from 11-14th April 2012. We welcome papers on any of the above topics. A full CFP is
available from: http://www.iisg.nl/esshc/index.php. The deadline for the submission of papers and sessions is 1st May 2011. Enquiries can be made to Ian Gregory (I.Gregory@lancaster.ac.uk).

Image Analysis and Systematic Palaeography

digitalmedievalistnewsLeave a comment

A 2-day symposium on Image Analysis and Systematic Palaeography will take place at the Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes (Paris) on April 14-15, 2011, serving as the conclusion of the research program ANR GRAPHEM (Grapheme based Retrieval and Analysis for PalaeograpHic Expertise of medieval Manuscripts)

The research program ANR GRAPHEM (2008-2011), lead by the LIRIS (UMR 5205, Laboratoire d’InfoRmatique en Image et Systèmes d’information), federates four resarch teams: 2 laboratories in computer science (LIFO, EA 4022, Laboratoire d’Informatique Fondamentale d’Orléans, and LIPADE, Laboratoire d’Informatique Paris Descartes, former CRIP5) and 2 in human sciences (Institut de recherche et d’histoire des Textes and Ecole nationale des chartes). Its aim is to improve the data mining and image processing techniques applied to medieval scripts and their classification.

This symposium will not only present the technological achievements or the software and tools produced during this research program, but also draw a methodological conclusion on interdisciplinary work in the field of Palaeography and Image Analysis.

Program

— 14 April

* Denis Muzerelle (IRHT): Image Analysis Techniques applied to Medieval Scripts (« Les techniques d’analyse d’images appliquées aux écritures médiévales »)
* Matthieu Exbrayat (LIFO): Spatial Exploration and Interaction: Implementation in the Research Program Graphem (« Exploration et interaction spatiale: mise en œuvre dans le cadre du projet Graphem »)
* Stéphane Brès (LIRIS): Script Characterization from Local Visual Signs (« Caractérisation d’écritures à partir d’indices visuels locaux »)
* Nicole Vincent (LIPADE): A Proposal of Script Property Descriptors for Typological Grouping (« Proposition de descripteurs des propriétés des écritures en vue d’apparentements typologiques »)
* Round table (moderator: Marc Smith, École nationale des chartes): Current applications of informatics in paleography, by which methods and for what purposes?

— 15 April

* Permanent Seminar on Cursive Scripts [specific program: http://www.irht.cnrs.fr/actualites/seminaire-permanent-sur-la-cursivite-paris-irht-15%5D

Call for papers and proposals

Philology in the Digital Age
2011 Annual Conference and Members’ Meeting of the TEI Consortium University of Würzburg, Germany

http://www.zde.uni-wuerzburg.de/tei_mm_2011/

* Deadline for submissions: May 1st, 2011
* Meeting dates: Wed 12 October to Sat 15 October, 2011
* Workshop dates: Mon 10 October to Wed 12 October, 2011 (see separate call)

The Program Committee of the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI – http://www.tei-c.org) Consortium invites individual paper proposals, panel
sessions, poster sessions, and tool demonstrations particularly, but not exclusively, on digital texts, scholarly editing or any topic that applies TEI to its research.

Submission Topics

Topics might include but are not restricted to:
• TEI and scholarly editing
• TEI and textual criticism
• TEI and the evolution of digital philology
• TEI and text corpora
• The relation between representation (encoded text) and presentation (visualisation, user-interface)
• TEI encoded data in the context of quantitative text analysis • Integrating the TEI with other technologies and standards • TEI as metadata standard
• TEI as interchange format: sharing, mapping, and migrating data (in particular in relation to other formats or software environments)

In addition, we are seeking proposals for 5 minute micropaper presentations focused on experiences with the TEI guidelines gained from running projects and discussing one specific feature.

Submission Types

Individual paper presentations will be allocated 30 minutes: 20 minutes for delivery, and 10 minutes for questions & answers. Submission should be made in the form of an abstract of 750-1500 words (plus bibliography).

Panel sessions will be allocated 1.5 hours and may be of varied formats, including:

* three paper panels: 3 papers on the same or related topics

* round table discussion: 5-8 presenters on a single theme. Ample time should be left for questions & answers after brief presentations.

Posters (including tool demonstrations) will be presented during the poster session. The local organizer will provide flip charts and tables for poster session/tool demonstration presenters, along with wireless internet access. Each poster presenter is expected to participate in a slam immediately preceding the poster session.

Micropapers will be allocated 5 minutes.

Submission Procedure

All proposals should be submitted at http://www.tei-c.org/conftool/ by May 1st, 2011 (please check on the conference website for the availability of conftool).

You will need to create an account (i.e., username and password) in order to file a submission. For each submission, you may upload files to the system after you have completed filling out demographic data and the abstract.

* Individual paper or poster proposals (including tool
demonstrations): Supporting materials (including graphics, multimedia, etc., or even a copy of the complete paper) may be uploaded after the initial abstract is submitted.

* Micropaper: The procedure is the same as for an individual paper, however the abstract should be no more than 500 words. Please be sure the abstract mentions the feature to be presented!

* Panel sessions (three paper panels): The panel organizer submits a proposal for the entire session, containing a 500-word introduction explaining the overarching theme and rationale for the inclusion of the papers, together with a 750-1500 words section for each panel member.

* Panel sessions (round table discussion): The panel organizer submits a proposal of 750-1500 words describing the rationale for the discussion and includes the list of panelists. Panelists need to be contacted by the panel organizer and have expressed their willingness in participation before submission.

All proposals will be reviewed by the program committee and selected external reviewers.

Those interested in holding working paper sessions outside the meeting session tracks should contact the meeting organizers at meeting@tei-c.org to schedule a room.

Please send queries to meeting@tei-c.org.

Conference submissions will be considered for conference
proceedings, edited as a special issue of the Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative. Further details on the submission process will be forthcoming.
