Fördjupning: Digitala textkritiska utgåvor – Historia i en digital värld. Jenny Bergenmar Argumenten för att ge ut textkritiska utgåvor bygger ofta på författarskapets litterära och kulturella betydelse. ”Topelius litterära verk är ett monument i ord över Finlands 1800-talshistoria och utgivningen är därför en nationell uppgift av nordisk bärvidd”, skriver redaktionen för Zacharias Topelius Skrifter.
Det är författare som tillmäts denna betydelse som blir föremål för textkritiska utgåvor. Några av de mest påkostade nordiska utgivningsprojekten är följaktligen Topelius, Henrik Ibsens skrifter och Nationalupplagan av Strindbergs samlade verk. Dessa tre projekt, liksom exempelvis The Rossetti Archive illustrerar väl den kanoniserande och kulturkonserverande funktion en textkritisk utgåva ofta fyller. A Review of Selected Digital Humanities Centers and Initiatives (March 2016) - Harvard University Arts & Humanities Research Computing. A Review of Selected Digital Humanities Centers and Initiatives (March 2016)by: Gosia Stergios Many believe that humanities computing, later called “digital humanities,” (DH) originated in 1949.
It was the year when an Italian Jesuit, Father Roberto Busa, came to IBM, the only organization in the world that possessed the technology (punch card machines) and the expertise he needed to create a concordance of all the words in the works of St Thomas Aquinas—the Index Thomisticus. Almost seven decades later, The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) lists over 175 DH centers, initiatives, labs, collectives and networks, ranging from small labs and virtual support centers to large physical facilities packed with hardware, and even full-fledged, degree-granting academic departments.
Chapter 4: Image processing in the digital humanities. Melissa Terras Chapter Overview Chapter 4 discusses the ways in which images, once digitized, can be manipulated, studied and processed.
Melissa Terras shows how image-processing techniques may be used to reconstruct ancient Theran wall paintings or to help us to read ancient documents, such as the Vindolanda Tablets from Hadrian’s Wall. She discusses different processing techniques and research methods and the new discoveries that these have made possible. In addition to this, Terras explores why image processing is not a commonly used procedure in digital humanities and advises on how an individual may undertake research in this area. Case Study: The Griphos project: reassembling ancient frescoes The reconstruction of fragmented objects is of great interest in archaeology, where artefacts are often found in a fractured state. Academic History Writing and the Headache of Big Data. By way of a preface The post that follows is formed from the text of a presentation I am due to deliver at King's College London on 9 February, but which reflects what I was worrying about in early December 2011 - several months after I wrote the synopsis that was used to advertise the talk, a month before I attended the AHA conference in Chicago with its extensive programme on digital histories, and six weeks before I got around to reading Stephen Ramsay's, Reading Machines: Toward an Algorithmic Criticism.
Both listening to the text mining presentations at the AHA, and thinking about Ramsay's observations about computers and literary criticism have contributed to moving me on from the text below.

Exploratory Programming for the Arts and Humanities. “Exploratory Programming for the Arts and Humanities provides artists and humanists with privileged access to a highly sophisticated understanding of the concepts and practices that make computer code into such a powerful means of human expression.
Nick Montfort is a reassuring guide through this forbidden realm, a master magician who is eager to share his tricks, a fellow humanist/artist who understands computation with an unusual intimacy and historical perspective, and who is bent on demystifying the arcane, celebrating the playful, and generally making the wonders of computation available to a wider range of cultural and creative explorers.” —Janet H.

Omeka is a web publishing platform and a content management system (CMS), developed by the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University. Omeka was developed specifically for scholarly content, with particular emphasis on digital collections and exhibits. While Omeka may not be as readily customizable as other platforms designed for general use, such as WordPress, Omeka has been used by many academic and cultural institutions for its built-in features for cataloging and presenting digital collections.
Developing content in Omeka is complemented by an extensive list of descriptive metadata fields that conforms to Dublin Core, a standard used by libraries, museums and archives (for more on metadata and creating a data repository, click through to the creating a repository section). Omeka.net is a lite-version that does not require its own server. Building a Repository in Omeka. Biodiversity Heritage Library. International Image Interoperability Framework. Conflict Resolution and Peace. Teachers can use these quotes from famous individuals to facilitate student reflection on the importance of conflict resolution.
Objectives Students will read and interpret quotes to their peers Students will learn to paraphrase Students will grow more comfortable sharing with their peers Students will increase their listening, summarizing and paraphrasing skills Materials Teacher cuts quotes into individual strips of paper Step One When students enter the room, have these quotes cut into slips of paper and placed on individual desks. Step Two Have students stand and say, "In 30 seconds, when I say ‘go,' take five steps and share with a classmate what your quote is and then tell them what it means to you. " Step Three To increase listening skills, a major component of culturally responsive conflict mediation, after one student shares their peace quote with another student, the second student then paraphrases back what they believe they have heard.

Francesca Albrezzi of the Getty Research Institute provides a behind-the-scenes look of challenges faced and lessons learned in building “Digital Mellini,” the first of three projects in Getty Scholars’ Workspace, a scholarly collaboration environment that’s been described as “Wordpress for scholars.” For a previous progress update on Digital Mellini, see this post. “But is it innovative?”
That’s a question we’ve asked ourselves time after time about a digital humanities project we’ve been working on for almost two years. Called Digital Mellini, it’s the first in a series of projects that aim to create digital critical facsimile editions of art historical texts. Digital Humanities and the Library.

The Digitization Project of Kindred Languages is not only about the publishing Fenno-Ugric material online,but it also aims to support the linguistic research by developing purposeful tools for its help. In this blog entry, Wouter Van Hemel of the National Library of Finland sheds the light over the OCR editor, which enables the editing of machine-encoded text for the benefit of linguistic research by crowdsourcing.
The PAS (long-time preservation) team at the Kansalliskirjasto concentrates its effort on the digital preservation of valuable historical and cultural materials so that while the physical form of works might deteriorate and even disappear over time, the information therein can live on forever in the digital realm, accessible to all. With the OCRUI editor, the Kansalliskirjasto wants to extend this approach to the correction process of OCR material. The ALTO format The OCRUI application is in essence an editor for these ALTO XML files. Architecture. About Us. What is VUE?
