A good question from the pedestrian's or cyclist's perspective. But let's be fair to automobiles, trains, and planes: if one of your great pleasures in life is hiking in the mountains (as it true of me), how do you get to wherever you want to hike in the first place? A major minor character in Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain (1923) is the train that brings people to the then still rather sleepy Davos. A lot of hiking and cycling depends on other modes of transportation. The application to humanities computing is obvious--or not so obvious. I think there are two major factors that stand in the way of the intelligent and imaginative use of information technology in the humanities. The first of these is the myth, encouraged by consumer oriented applications of technology, that you can interesting scholarly things by pushing some combination of buttons, and that if you can't learn to push those buttons in five minutes, it isn't worth doing or the program sucks. The second is the humanist's fear that the technology will take over and replace treasured forms of human(e) inquiry. But think of the new, strenuous, and pleasurable forms of hiking or skiing that are enabled by technology. Switzerland is after all a triumph of civil engineering. And if one thinks of the humanities as a kind of Switzerland, perhaps it points to productive ways of seeing the interaction of man and machine (I am aware of aspects of Switzerland where the humanities perhaps do not want to go) Return-Path: Received: from fep13.clear.net.nz (fep13 [192.168.16.114]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JW8004E4FIR8TE0@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz;

Final submissions should aim to be 2,500-5,000 words in length and may address digital projects, programs of research, digital tools and practices, or theory related to the digitization of material culture to the end of the seventeenth century. Complete papers will be circulated in advance of the conference and participants (presenters and non-presenters) will sign up for and participate in two to three sessions on Thursday, 16 October, having read the complete papers (2-3 per session) in advance. Each session will comprise short introductory summaries by presenters (5-10 minutes) followed by extensive discussion of the circulated texts. Participants can expect to receive concrete and expert advice from other participants as they pool expertise (together with our invited speakers) to consider how the project, tool, or theory can be further developed toward publication or implementation. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be available subsequently through the conference Web-site. Complete papers will be published on the conference Web-site prior to the conference. Contributors to the digitizing material culture seminar will also be invited to submit papers for a planned collection on "Digitizing Early Material Culture". Proposal abstracts should be sent electronically as a MS Word, WordPerfect, or pdf file to: Brent Nelson, conference committee chair, brent.nelson@usask.ca The deadline for proposal submissions is 15 May 2008, and complete papers will be due 15 September 2008 ----- Call for submissions for "New Directions in Text Analysis" The organizing committee of CaSTA 2008 also invites proposals from Canadian and international scholars and practitioners working in any area of technical or textual studies addressing the conference theme, "New Directions in Text Analysis". This will be the sixth annual CaSTA conference, held in association with TAPoR (the Text Analysis Portal). The two days of the conference (17-18 October) will feature keynote and plenary addresses, papers, panels, and posters on a wide range of topics related to the future of digital text analysis. Presentations might address such topics as changing notions of what constitutes a text the relationship of the material text (its physical manifestation) to the ideal text (the text as an abstraction of words in a particular combination) editing and publishing digital texts for a changing readership new media and digital textual scholarship new tools and methodologies for text analysis digital texts and analysis in the scholarly mainstream working with graduate students and research teams Abstracts of 500-700 words should propose presentations in one of three forms: Single papers (max of 3,000 words) Panels (three to five papers on a common theme) Posters (max of 750 words), either hard copy (approximately two square metres of board space) or digital with terminal access provided. Posters will remain on display throughout the conference and there will be a designated session time for presenters to discuss their work. Abstract proposals should include the following information: title of paper, author's name(s); complete mailing address, including e-mail; institutional affiliation and rank, if any, of the author; statement of need for audio-visual equipment. Abstracts of papers should clearly indicate the paper's thesis, methodology and conclusion. CaSTA 2008 especially wants to encourage the participation of graduate students, whose work is even now incubating many of the new directions that this conference will begin to explore. Cara Leitch (PhD candidate, University of Victoria) will conduct sessions of particular interest to graduate students and to projects that involve significant student training and participation. Travel grants will be available to students who travel to attend the conference. All accepted papers and posters will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be available subsequently through the conference Web-site. Abstracts will also be published on the conference Web-site prior to the conference. Selected papers from the conference will be included in a special issue of the peer reviewed journal, Text Technology.

It is being organized by a consortium of research projects in association with the journal Information Communication and Society (iCS). The Oxford e-Research Conference 08 seeks to stimulate and inform multi-disciplinary research on the development, use and implications of information and communication technologies (ICTs), like the Internet, in shaping research across the disciplines. It will bring together research from key e-Research projects from around the world examining the role of the Internet, Web and the Grid in research. The conference seeks to facilitate scholarly communication and publication on this topic, and help foster a broader public understanding of the significance of this area to the sciences and humanities as well as to the public at large. Anyone with a serious interest in conducting research on the development or use of ICTs across the disciplines should attend, as well as those with questions about how new research tools might impact the range, significance and quality of research. The conference is intended to complement and extend the activities of key research projects and programmes in this area, representatives of which are among the organizing committee. Topics will include, but not be limited to: * Major e-Research initiatives, such as e-infrastructure and cyberinfrastructure programmes in Europe and North America; * E-Social Science, including social, legal and institutional dynamics of e-Research; * Case studies of e-Research projects, programmes, and policies; * Policy analyses of key issues, ranging from IPR to privacy; * Ethical and legal analyses of innovations in e-Research, focusing on risks as well as approaches to resolving ethical dilemmas; * Research on e-collaboration, including new platforms for scientific collaboration, such as those using social networking sites; * Survey research and in-depth interviews focused on the attitudes and practices of researchers; * Usability of e-Research tools, and related issues of human-computer interaction; * Showcasing new methods, practices, and tools afforded by new ICTs; * Research on the social shaping and impact of e-Research; * Take-up, diffusion and sustainability of e-Research infrastructures; * Technical advances of relevance to any stage of research, from agenda-setting and budgeting to data collection, analysis, dissemination and evaluation of research; * Social and technical perspectives on innovations in metadata, the development of ontologies, and the semantic Web; * Overviews and comparisons of particular schools of research, including Web Science, e-Social Science, e-Research, and e-Infrastructure communities. Individuals may submit abstracts, or drafts of full papers; workshop or panel proposals; and demonstration projects, which can be showcased at the conference. Top papers presented at the conference will have an opportunity to be prioritized for review by the journal iCS.

How are health, dis/ability, and the body theorized, materialized, and politicized in visual autobiographies, including forms such as photography, video art, graphic memoir, film, body art and performance, and digital media? We are particularly interested in the potential of visual autobiographies to: -explore how bodies negotiate disciplinary regimes and technologies -produce counterdiscursive manoeuvres and new representational spaces -investigate how power/knowledge relations constitute embodiments -provoke critical and ethical reflection We welcome contributions from academic- and arts-based researchers and practitioners. We encourage a wide range of critical perspectives: cultural studies, critical theory, disability studies, feminist studies, critical race studies, diaspora studies, queer studies, Aboriginal studies, globalization studies, literary studies, art history, music, media studies, theatre and performance studies. Analytic approaches could involve: textual analysis; histories, presents, and futures; practices and practitioners; and pedagogy. Possible topics: dis/ability sickness/wellness disease bodies negotiating borders and boundaries traded and disappeared bodies trauma and testimony memory and memorializing monstrosity care of the self care-giving fatness and body size aging body alterations and transformations environments activisms Send a 300- to 500-word abstract, working title, and a brief bio, by email in a Word attachment, to Sarah Brophy (brophys@mcmaster.ca ) and Janice Hladki (hladkij@mcmaster.ca on or before May 15, 2008. Inquiries are also welcome. Final papers should range in length from 4000-8000 words. About the editors: Sarah Brophy is an Associate Professor in English and Cultural Studies, McMaster University. Janice Hladki is an Associate Professor in Theatre and Film Studies, McMaster University. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2008 14:26:10 +0000 From: Zapopan Martin Muela-Meza Subject: cfp: THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF ACADEMIC JOURNAL PUBLISHING The Political Economy of Academic Journal Publishing Call for Papers & Proposal for a Special Issue of ephemera: theory & politics in organization (www.ephemeraweb.org) to be edited by Craig Prichard & Steffen Böhm ‘Publish or perish’, that famous diktat, is without doubt the central, pervasive and unassailable logic governing most academic work in the current period. The central figure, the one around which this decree currently revolves, is, of course, the academic journal article. While the book and perhaps the lecture remain important in some locations, the journal article has become the core currency and the very measure by which academic jobs, careers, reputations and identities are made and traded. Yet despite all the hours congealed into ‘the article’, and the years spent perfecting the craft of writing for journal publications, many of us know very little about the industry that surrounds our work and to which we contribute so much. Of course, we may recall certain events: Some will have noted the sale, for nearly US$1 billion, of Blackwell’s 875-strong journal collection to US company Wiley in late 2006. Others will be aware that they can now, if they so wish, purchase their already published papers as individual downloads on Amazon.com. There will be some for whom internet-based open access journals (such as ephemera) or online repositories are now the natural home of their written academic work. There may be others whom have confronted the crisis that surrounds journal subscription pricing and are seeing the demise of library journal collections in their university libraries. And there may be a few among us who recognize those journals and publishers that feature in Ted Bergstrom’s hall of shame for the most expensive journals currently published (http://www.journalprices.com). But for all those that recognize such events and processes there are many more for whom such events have ‘taken a while to get our attention’, as Ron Kirby, the University of California mathematician who led the editorial revolt against Reed Elsevier’s pricing strategy at the journal Topography, said recently. This special issue is an invitation to begin to change that. It is a call for contributions that directly and critically explore the dynamics, problems, tensions, and issues that surround the political economy of academic journal publishing. Part of this is an invitation to explore alternative ways of organizing the production of academic work, particularly the theory, politics and organization of open access publishing, which is, perhaps, the most promising initiative to challenge corporate forms of journal publishing today. This exploration of alternatives is an acknowledgement that the writer and academic author could be regarded, at various moments, as agent, challenger and also victim of hegemonic regimes. We invite inter-disciplinary contributions from around the world and particularly welcome submissions from countries of the Global South, which have seen particular growth of open access publishing initiatives. Possible topics include (this is not an exhaustive list): - Political economy of open access publishing - Academic publishing and the knowledge society - How to organize an open access journal? - Political economy of corporate and university press publishing - The place of journal publishing in the overall apparatus of academic publishing - Historical perspectives of academic journal publishing - The hegemony of UK/US publishing & referencing and its global economy - Issues of censorship in the process of publishing - Issues of inclusion/exclusion in journal publishing - Academic publishing in the Global South - Desires and identities connected to journal publishing - The public sphere and journal publishing: Who do we really reach? - The role of journal publishing in the setup and maintenance of professions and disciplines - Cases of open access publishing - The organisation of open access repositories - Case histories of open access repositories - Copyright vs Copyleft - Publishing and language: the hegemony of English - Intellectual property and the impact on academic publishing - What is a journal’s ‘impact’ and how to measure it? - The specific role of ephemera: theory & politics in organization in the world of journal publishing and potential ‘alternative impact factor measurements’ - Academic evaluation and performance measurement systems (such as the RAE in the UK) - Publishing outside academia Full papers should be submitted to the special issue editors via email by 1 November 2008. Papers should be between 5000 and 9000 words; multimedia work is welcome. All submissions should follow ephemera’s submission guidelines: http://www.ephemeraweb.org/journal/submit.htm. All relevant submissions will undergo a double blind review process. The special issue is scheduled to be published in late 2009.

The need for or desirability of annotation at all is also disputed. Providing information will do what? Make the text clearer? or Limit its meanings? Give what readers need in order to make sense of obscurities? or Annoy readers who already know the information? Participants in this roundtable have all had a hand at annotating texts. Shared experiences will no doubt lead to new insights. Please consider coming.

This will be the sixth annual CaSTA conference, held in association with TAPoR (the Text Analysis Portal). The two days of the conference (17-18 October) will feature keynote and plenary addresses, papers, panels, and posters on a wide range of topics related to the future of digital text analysis. Presentations might address such topics as: changing notions of what constitutes a text -- the relationship of the material text (its physical manifestation) to the ideal text (the text as an abstraction of words in a particular combination) -- editing and publishing digital texts for a changing readership -- new media and digital textual scholarship -- new tools and methodologies for text analysis -- digital texts and analysis in the scholarly mainstream -- working with graduate students and research teams Abstracts of 500-700 words should propose presentations in one of three= forms: -- Single papers (max of 3,000 words) -- Panels (three to five papers on a common theme) -- Posters (max of 750 words), either hard copy (approximately two square metres of board space) or digital with terminal access provided. Posters will remain on display throughout the conference and there will be a designated session time for presenters to discuss their work. Abstract proposals should include the following information: title of paper, author's name(s); complete mailing address, including e-mail; institutional affiliation and rank, if any, of the author; statement of need for audio-visual equipment. Abstracts of papers should clearly indicate the paper's thesis, methodology and conclusion. CaSTA 2008 especially wants to encourage the participation of graduate students, whose work is even now incubating many of the new directions that this conference will begin to explore. Cara Leitch (PhD candidate, University of Victoria) will conduct sessions of particular interest to graduate students and to projects that involve significant student training and participation. Travel grants will be available to students who travel to attend the conference. All accepted papers and posters will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be available subsequently through the conference Web-site. Abstracts will also be published on the conference Web-site prior to the conference. Selected papers from the conference will be included in a special issue of the peer reviewed journal, Text Technology. Proposal abstracts should be sent electronically as a MS Word, WordPerfect, or pdf file to: Brent Nelson, conference committee chair, brent.nelson@usask.ca. The deadline for proposal submissions is 15 May 2008 Call for submissions for "Digitizing Early=20 Material Culture: from Antiquity to Modernity" The organizing committee also invites proposals (approx. 500-700 words) from Canadian and international scholars and practitioners working on the application of digital technology to the study of material culture up to c.1700 (computer science, archaeology, anthropology, geography, history, literature, etc.) for a pre-conference seminar on "Digitizing Early Material Culture: from Antiquity to Modernity." Final submissions should aim to be 2,500-5,000 words in length and may address digital projects, programs of research, digital tools and practices, or theory related to the digitization of material culture to the end of the seventeenth century. Complete papers will be circulated in advance of the conference and participants (presenters and non-presenters) will sign up for and participate in two to three sessions on Thursday, 16 October, having read the complete papers (2-3 per session) in advance. Each session will comprise short introductory summaries by presenters (5-10 minutes) followed by extensive discussion of the circulated texts. Participants can expect to receive concrete and expert advice from other participants as they pool expertise (together with our invited speakers) to consider how the project, tool, or theory can be further developed toward publication or implementation. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be available subsequently through the conference Web-site. Complete papers will be published on the conference Web-site prior to the conference. Contributors to the digitizing material culture seminar will also be invited to submit papers for a planned collection on "Digitizing Early Material Culture." Proposal abstracts should be sent electronically as a MS Word, WordPerfect, or pdf file to: Brent Nelson, conference committee chair, brent.nelson@usask.ca The deadline for proposal submissions is 15 May 2008 and complete papers will be due 15 September 2008 Please see the conference website for further developments: http://ocs.usask.ca/casta08 --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2008 14:12:00 +0000 From: "Humanities" Subject: ESF Conferences Call for Proposals - now open The ESF Research Conferences Call for Proposals is now open The European Science Foundation invites European scientists to submit proposals for high-level research conferences to take place in 2010 within the framework of its Research Conferences Scheme.

Begin forwarded message: ... A story: http://chronicle.com/news/article/3943/harvard-faculty-adopts-open-access-re= quirement February 12, 2008 Harvard Faculty Adopts Open-Access Requirement Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences adopted a policy this evening that requires faculty members to allow the university to make their scholarly articles available free online. Peter Suber, an open-access activist with Public Knowledge, a nonprofit group in Washington, said on his blog that the new policy makes Harvard the first university in the United States to mandate open access to its faculty members' research publications. Stuart M. Shieber, a professor of computer science at Harvard who proposed the new policy, said after the vote in a news release that the decision "should be a very powerful message to the academic community that we want and should have more control over how our work is used and disseminated." The new policy will allow faculty members to request a waiver, but otherwise they must provide an electronic form of each article to the provost's office, which will place it in an online repository. The policy will allow Harvard authors to publish in any journal that permits posting online after publication. According to Mr. Suber, about two-thirds of pay-access journals allow such posting in online repositories. Lila Guterman ... Text of the motion (unammended?) from http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~secfas/February_2008_Agenda.pdf On behalf of the Provost's Committee on Scholarly Publishing, Professor S. Shieber will move: The Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University is committed to disseminating the fruits of its research and scholarship as widely as possible. In keeping with that commitment, the Faculty adopts the following policy: Each Faculty member grants to the President and Fellows of Harvard College permission to make available his or her scholarly articles and to exercise the copyright in those articles. In legal terms, the permission granted by each Faculty member is a nonexclusive, irrevocable, paid-up, worldwide license to exercise any and all rights under copyright relating to each of his or her scholarly articles, in any medium, and to authorize others to do the same, provided that the articles are not sold for a profit. The policy will apply to all scholarly articles written while the person is a member of the Faculty except for any articles completed before the adoption of this policy and any articles for which the Faculty member entered into an incompatible licensing or assignment agreement before the adoption of this policy. The Dean or the Dean's designate will waive application of the policy for a particular article upon written request by a Faculty member explaining the need. To assist the University in distributing the articles, each Faculty member will provide an electronic copy of the final version of the article at no charge to the appropriate representative of the Provost's Office in an appropriate format (such as PDF) specified by the Provost's Office. The Provost's Office may make the article available to the public in an open-access repository. The Office of the Dean will be responsible for interpreting this policy, resolving disputes concerning its interpretation and application, and recommending changes to the Faculty from time to time. The policy will be reviewed after three years and a report presented to the Faculty.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/cch/research/publications/humanist.html www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 08:10:01 +0000 From: Mark Davies Subject: New: 360+ million word "BYU Corpus of American English" (1990-2007) We are pleased to announce the release of the 360 million word "BYU Corpus of American English" (1990-2007), which is freely available online (http://www.americancorpus.org). New texts will be added at least two times each year from this point on (20 million new words each year; 4 million words in each of the five genres), and it will thus serve as a unique linguistic history of American English since 1990. CONTENT The corpus is composed of more than 360 million words in nearly 150,000 texts, including 20 million words each year from 1990-2007. For each year (and therefore overall, as well), the corpus is evenly divided between the five genres of spoken, fiction, popular magazines, newspapers, and academic journals. The texts come from a variety of sources: Spoken: (76+ million words) Transcripts of unscripted conversation from nearly 150 different TV and radio programs (examples: All Things Considered (NPR), Newshour (PBS), Good Morning America (ABC), Today Show (NBC), 60 Minutes (CBS), Hannity and Colmes (Fox), Jerry Springer, etc). Fiction: (70 million words) Short stories and plays from literary magazines, children's magazines, popular magazines, first chapters of first edition books 1990-present, and movie scripts. Popular Magazines: (78+ million words) Nearly 100 different magazines, with a good mix (overall, and by year) between specific domains (news, health, home and gardening, women, financial, religion, sports, etc). A few examples are Time, Men's Health, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, Christian Century, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, etc. Newspapers: (73+ million words) Ten newspapers from across the US, including: USA Today, New York Times, Atlanta Journal Constitution, San Francisco Chronicle, etc. There is also a good mix between different sections of the newspapers, such as local news, opinion, sports, financial, etc. Academic Journals: (73+ million words) Nearly 100 different peer-reviewed journals. These were selected to cover the entire range of the Library of Congress classification system (e.g. a certain percentage from B (philosophy, psychology, religion), D (world history), K (education), T (technology), etc.), both overall and by number of words per year QUERIES -- The interface is the same as the interface for the 100 million word British National Corpus and 100 million word TIME Magazine corpus (see http://corpus.byu.edu/) -- Queries by word, phrase, alternates, substring, part of speech, lemma, synonyms (see below), and customized lists (see below) -- The corpus is tagged by CLAWS, the same tagger that was used for the BNC and the TIME corpus -- Chart listings (totals for all matching forms in each genre or year, 1990-present, as well as for sub-genres) and table listings (frequency for each matching form in each genre or year) -- Full collocates searching (up to ten words left and right of node word) -- Comparisons between genres or time periods (e.g. collocates of 'chair' in fiction or academic, nouns with 'break the [N]' in newspapers or academic, adjectives that occur primarily in sports magazines, or verbs that are more common 2004-2007 than previously) -- One-step comparisons of collocates of related words, to study semantic or cultural differences between words (e.g. comparison of collocates of 'small' and 'little', or 'men' and 'women', or 'rob' vs 'steal') -- Include semantic information from a 60,000 entry thesaurus directly as part of the query syntax (e.g. frequency and distribution of synonyms of 'beautiful', synonyms of 'strong' occurring in fiction but not academic, synonyms of 'clean' + noun ('clean the floor', 'washed the dishes') -- Create your own 'customized' word lists, and then re-use these as part of subsequent queries (e.g. lists related to a particular semantic category (clothes, foods, emotions), or a user-defined part of speech) NOTE Due to copyright and licensing issues, the corpus is not available in full-text form. Rather, as with our interface to the BNC and TIME, all access will be via the web interface, which allows full frequency and distributional charts, and limited KWIC displays (up to 100 words per entry) ============================================ Mark Davies Professor of (Corpus) Linguistics Brigham Young University (phone) 801-422-9168 / (fax) 801-422-0906 Web: davies-linguistics.byu.edu ** Corpus design and use // Linguistic databases ** ** Historical linguistics // Language variation ** ** English, Spanish, and Portuguese ** ============================================ Return-Path: Received: from fep13.clear.net.nz (fep13 [192.168.16.114]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JWK000XWY0CW3F0@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz;

One key challenge of the development of intelligent and cooperative information system is to balance the autonomy of networked data, information, and knowledge sources with the potential payoff of leveraging them by the appropriate use of such agents. Research on intelligent information agents and systems is inherently cross disciplinary covering themes from domains such as AI, HCI, Internet and Web technologies, information systems, information retrieval, P2P computing, and multiagent system technologies. The objective of the international workshop series on cooperative information agents (CIA), since its establishment in 1997, is to provide a small but distinguished, interdisciplinary forum for researchers, programmers, and managers to get informed about, present, and discuss latest high quality results in research and development of agent-based intelligent and cooperative information systems, and applications for the Internet and Web.

This interdisciplinary workshop will address three related topics: (a) how metaphor and sentiment interact in everyday communication; (b) language/conceptual resources properties to support sentiment analysis (c) evaluation of sentiment analysis programs and evaluation methodologies. Prof Sam Glucksberg will give the keynote lecture of the workshop entitled Beyond Similarity: How Metaphors Create Categories. Workshop Aims This workshop will deal with the recent advances in the processing of sentiment in arbitrary collections of text. Sentiment can be expressed about works of art and literature, about the state of financial markets, about liking and disliking individuals, organisations, ideologies, and consumer goods. It is necessary to examine what aspects of emotional experience sentiment analysis aims to capture, how and in what way this may be evaluated. This workshop focuses on three strands of research which will serve to enhance the development of automated sentiment analysis systems of free text for real world applications. Firstly, in psychology and computational linguistics, the notions of emotion and metaphor interact in a number of complex ways. It has been argued that conceptual metaphors underlie human understanding and processing of emotion. In addition, it can be argued that the expression of sentiment and its interpretation can rely critically on how a speaker or writer uses metaphor. Therefore, an understanding of how emotion is expressed and perceived in language is not complete without addressing the role of figurative language and metaphor as basic scaffolding or tool for modulating affective text content. Secondly, to date, sentiment analysis typically deals with a specific domain of ideal objects. In order to build a sentiment analysis system, one has to understand `what there is' in a given domain, i.e. the ontology of the domain. In this context, is it possible to conceive of generic sentiment analysis? Practitioners in this area need to examine the requirements and challenges of an approach that could cross boundaries of domain or time or even language where different communities of use, languages or cultures may express or even experience sentiments in different ways. Finally, work in sentiment analysis may be regarded as work in intelligent information retrieval and success is evaluated in terms of accuracy in identifying the affective content of information segments. Yet sentiment analysis has the potential to have a powerful impact in other domains that require input about emotional context. Researchers in Human-Computer Interaction, Affective Computing, Lexicography and Terminography, may become end-users of work in sentiment analysis and sentiment analysis folks may have much to learn from how a machine artificially endowed with emotions/sentiments behaves. It may become feasible to evaluate sentiment analysis systems in terms of the performance of such applications. An examination of alternative end-user systems and evaluation mechanisms can only serve to enrich the field of sentiment analysis and present new challenges for researchers to address.

Dear colleagues, I've been nosing around in the relatively early history of humanities computing, from ca 1962 to 1989, looking in particular at what people were saying about the promise and realities of computing for the study of literature. In broad strokes, the story that seems to be emerging is of visionary statements from the early 1960s, continuing up through the mid 1970s, then in 1978 an interesting pile of whistle-blowings. In the latter category I have found: Susan Wittig, "The Computer and the Concept of Text", CHum 11 (1978): 211-15. Colin Martindale, "Sit with Statisticians and Commit a Social Science: Interdisciplinary Aspects of Poetics", Poetics 7 (1978): 273-82. Richard W Bailey, "The Future of Computational Stylistics", in Rosanne Potter, Literary Computing and Literary Criticism (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1989): 3-12 -- but originally given as a talk at King's College London, 15 December 1978, then published in the ALLC Bulletin 7 (1979): 4-11. All of the above identify the chief problem as inattention to theory. Martindale notes that if only empirical and theoretical approaches would get together, the complementary strengths of each would cancel out their corresponding weaknesses. Bailey quotes both Wittig and Martindale. Wittig (who dropped out of academia and for the last many years has been a mystery story writer), put her finger on the failure to ask the central question, "what is text?" -- to which Jerome McGann has prominently drawn attention in the early years of this century. Potter, in 1989, famously declared that literary computing had not been rejected but simply neglected. I say that this is at least in part because it has been neglectful. Interestingly also in 1978, Leonard Forster, in a Presidential Address to the (British) Modern Humanities Association, "Literary Studies as Flight from Literature?", Modern Language Review 73 (1978): xxv-xxxiv, also argues that the alternation of approaches, each hardening into blind dogma in turn, is the chief problem of literary studies. He says nothing about computing per se but should give pause to those who foresee a dawn (one cannot really say a new dawn) for literary computing now that Theory is shuffling off the stage. Anyhow, I am in weak moments tempted to think that there was some sort of special awakening in 1978. Can anyone here shed light on the question?

Ulijn, Eindhoven University of Technology Deadline for Proposals/Abstracts: April 10, 2008 OVERVIEW The information economy is based on the=20 collection and the exchange of data and=20 ideas. We all either contribute to or use=20 materials from the information economy in most=20 aspects of our everyday lives. Thus, the=20 information economy exists as an environment in=20 which we are all contributors and consumers.=20 Within this system, effective communication is=20 essential to success and means individuals can=20 contribute ideas and information effectively and=20 can make efficient use of the goods and=20 services. In this way, each individual can play=20 the dual role of content user (audience) and=20 content creator (professional=20 communicator). This ability to create new=20 content also allows individuals to become online=20 innovators and cyberspace entrepreneurs on a previously unprecedented level. All of this content, however, requires continual=20 evaluation and updating in a way that emphasizes=20 the importance of information management and of=20 hiring and employment practices that prioritize=20 such activities (e.g., strategic human resource=20 management). At the same time, organizations and=20 individuals alike need to consider how to=20 maintain open access to needed information=20 without sacrificing personal privacy or corporate=20 security. Few of us, however, understand all of=20 these nuances of the information economy or the=20 related communication factors that affect its=20 operations. Yet such an understanding is needed=20 for individuals to better conceptualize their=20 professional roles in relation to this=20 economy. For this reason, an examination of the=20 information economy and its effects on=20 professional communication practices can greatly=20 benefit individuals in the professional and=20 technical communication industries. This special issue of the IEEE Transactions on=20 Professional Communication (IEEE-TPC) seeks to=20 =93examine=94 this economic model by providing=20 research articles, commentaries, and tutorials=20 that explore the connections between=20 communication practices and the products,=20 practices, and services that constitute the=20 information economy. The objective of the=20 special issue is to help individuals involved in=20 professional communication practices better=20 understand and participate in the information=20 economy as both contributors and consumers. POSSIBLE TOPIC AREAS Possible topic areas for this special issue=20 include but are not limited to the following: =95 Establishing and assessing the value of knowledge work and knowledge= products =95 Innovation and entrepreneurship issues related=20 to communication in the information economy =95 Information design, usability, and accessibility =95 Virtual teams, online collaboration, and distributed models of work =95 Strategic human resources management (SHRM) of=20 globally dispersed and mobile employees =95 Cross-cultural communication, globalization,=20 outsourcing, translation, and localization =95 Legal policies and social issues related to the information economy =95 Media selection and multimodality =95 The role of and perspectives on teaching and=20 training within the information economy =95 Content management, open source software, single sourcing, and XML SUBMISSIONS Please email abstracts (250-500 words) to Kirk=20 St.Amant at kirk.stamant@gmail.com Please include the following information in your abstract: =95 Title of the proposed article =95 Name, institutional affiliation, and contact information for author(s) =95 Overview of proposed article topic =95 Outline of the major ideas or concepts covered in the proposed article =95 Discussion of the contribution this article=20 will make to research, teaching, or other=20 professional practices in the field of technical communication TIMELINE =95 Proposals/Abstracts due: April 10, 2008 =95 Invitation to submit full papers for peer review: April 15, 2008 =95 Full papers due: June 16, 2008 =95 Tentative publication date: September 2009 GUIDELINES You can find guidelines for submitting manuscripts on the IEEE-TPC site: http://ewh.ieee.org/soc/pcs/?q=3Dnode/50 PLEASE NOTE An invitation to submit a full paper for=20 peer-review does not mean a paper has been=20 accepted for publication. Rather, all papers will=20 undergo a peer-review process, the results of=20 which will be used to determine whether the paper=20 will be published in this special issue of the IEEE-TPC. QUESTIONS The guest editors encourage you to contact them=20 to discuss possible topics for an article. You=20 can email any questions about this special issue=20 to Kirk St. Amant at kirk.stamant@gmail.com.

Rather than focusing on cross-cultural studies that compare IT development and use in different countries, the focus of this mini-track is to provide a forum for research that seeks to understand the values and assumptions embedded in both the technology, and the human group served by the technology (i.e. the occupational group, the organization, the society). Recent articles (e.g. Leidner & Kayworth, 2006) continue to call for more attention to values and cultural assumptions associated with IT if we are to be successful in addressing various types of conflict. We would like to make AMCIS the main venue for reporting issues and research associated with occupational, organizational, and social cultural issues. Specifically, we would like to see a forum for exploration of changes in embedded values, assumptions and social change related to information and communication technologies. Even the concept of "IT culture" can be interpreted in many ways. We see this concept of "IT culture" as a complex organizational phenomenon thatis suitable for an AMCIS mini-track. Suggested topics: * The IT culture, the information culture, the digital culture, the online culture, the geek culture, and culture in virtual environments * Organizational culture, information systems and management * IT cultural issues in organizations and in modern society, such as the "generational divide", and cultural change due to information and communication technologies * IT Culture and other issues such as education, security, change, etc. * IT culture and system conflicts within organizations and society * Impact of IT culture on occupational, organizational and societal use of IT * Occupational Culture, the IT workforce, end-user studies where culture matters * Methodological issues conducting IT culture research (i.e. case studies, ethnography, mixed methods) * An assessment of software for supporting culture studies * Ethnography and culture in virtual environments Mini-track Chair(s): Michelle Lynn Kaarst-Brown, Syracuse University, mlbrow03@syr.edu Indira R.

Ubiquity Associate Editor Arun Tripathi writes that the article discusses "the crucial relation between computerized information processing and human reasoning in modern information technology." Dr. Capurro, who is creating a new research program in the field of Hermeneutics of Technology, is an internationally known scholar in Information Ethics. * Sanjay Kumar Pal, NSHM Business School in India, takes a look at Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and says: "It is the duty of a software provider to help us to get there by doing their part to make sure our next system will be our last ERP system replacement." He discusses some of the criteria that allow us to identify and select the solution that will meet these expectations. * Consultant/strategist Tom Clark of ProjectSuccessInc discusses project operating procedures for multiple organization projects by developing a Linear Responsibility Chart.

Candidates have put forth positions about technology policy and have recognized that it has its own set of economic, political, and social concerns. In the areas of privacy, intellectual property, cybersecurity, telecommunications, and freedom of speech, an increasing number of issues once confined to experts now penetrate public conversation. Our decisions about technology policy are being made at a time when the architectures of our information and communication technologies are still being built. Debate about these issues needs to be better-informed in order for us to make policy choices in the public interest. This year, the 18th annual Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference will focus on what constitutes technology policy. CFP: Technology Policy '08 is an opportunity to help shape public debate on those issues being made into laws and regulations and those technological infrastructures being developed. The direction of our technology policy impacts the choices we make about our national defense, our civil liberties during wartime, the future of American education, our national healthcare systems, and many other realms of policy discussed more prominently on the election trail. Policies ranging from data mining and wiretapping, to file-sharing and open access, and e-voting to electronic medical records will be addressed by expert panels of technologists, policymakers, business leaders, and advocates. Open participation is invited for proposals on panels, tutorials, speaker suggestions, and birds of a feather sessions through the CFP: Technology Policy '08 submission at http://www.cfp2008.org/submissions/. Suggested topics for discussion include: * Information Privacy * Anonymity Online * Government Transparency * Voting Technology * Online Campaigning * Social Networks * Citizen Journalism * Cybercrime & Cyberterrorism * Digital Education * Copyright and Fair Use * Patent Reform * Open Access * P2P Networks * Information Policy and Free Trade * Media Concentration * Genes & Bioethics * Electronic Medical Records * Web Accessibility * Open Standards * Network Neutrality * High-Speed Internet Access Policy * Freedom of Information * Technology Policy Administration Submission Deadlines: Panel, Tutorial, and Speaker proposals: March 21, 2008. Birds of a Feather Session (BoFs) proposals: April 21, 2008. Panel, Tutorial, and Speaker proposals accepted by the Program Committee will be notified by April 7, 2008.

Jinan is the capital of Shandong Province, which is known for the home of Confucius, the Taishan Mountain, and the Baotu Spring. ICNC'08-FSKD'08 aims to provide an international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of intelligent methods inspired from nature, including biological, ecological, and physical systems, with applications to data mining, manufacturing, design, and more. It is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of techniques and methods are being studied for dealing with large, complex, and dynamic problems. Previously, the joint conferences in 2005, 2006 and 2007 each attracted over 3000 submissions from more than 30 countries. All accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be indexed by both EI and ISTP. Furthermore, extended versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of Soft Computing: An International Journal (SCI indexed). To promote international participation of researchers from outside the country/region where the conference is held (i.e., China), foreign experts are encouraged to propose invited sessions. Each invited session should have at least 4 papers. Invited session organizers will solicit submissions, conduct reviews and recommend accept/reject decisions on the submitted papers. All invited session organizers will be acknowledged in the conference proceedings. Each invited session proposal should include the following information: (1) the name(s) and contact information of invited session organizer(s); (2) the title and a short synopsis of the invited session. Please send your proposal to nc2008@sdu.edu.cn For more information, visit the conference web page. If you have any questions after visiting the conference web page, please email the secretariat at nc2008@sdu.edu.cn Join us at this major event in historic Jinan !!!

Each year the European Science Foundation (ESF) awards funding for some 50-60 Exploratory Workshops across all scientific domains. With their small format, the Exploratory Workshops are a privileged venue for the articulation of emerging research needs in the Humanities. Workshop proposals should show that convenors want to use them to open up new questions and directions in research or to explore emerging research fields. Proposals should demonstrate the potential for initiating follow-up research activities and/or developing future collaborative actions. Interdisciplinary topics and topics related to the building and use of research infrastructures are also eligible. Awards of up to max. 15000 EUR are intended to cover costs for small, interactive and output-oriented discussion meetings of maximum 30 participants to be held between 1 February and 31 December 2009. The deadline for the receipt of proposals is 29 April 2008 (16:00 CET). Full details at Please do feel free to circulate this announcement through relevant mailing lists, through your European and national subject associations, and inside your institutions and organisations.

Subject: Humanities e-learning tool demonstration workshop Evaluating Multiple Interpretations in the Humanities: a demonstration workshop of an innovative e-learning tool 10.30am-3.30pm 15th APRIL 2008, HIGHER EDUCATION ACADEMY, YORK (please register with Marion Cochrane, Administrator, SC-HCA: m.cochrane@arts.gla.ac.uk: by 4th April 2008) For the map link and programme please see http://tinyurl.com/257bq4 This hands-on limited-place workshop presents an e-tool (eMI - evaluating Multiple Interpretations) modelled on the pedagogy of the Humanities seminar that has been developed by HCA and the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Reusable Learning Objects. eMI is designed to develop critical thinking skills amongst students, by encouraging them to engage with and differentiate between scholarly interpretations. The demonstration package focuses on promoting the recognition of disciplinary difference with regard to interpretation. However, eMI is fully customisable by tutors, and has been designed to be used by those with a minimal knowledge of e-learning technologies. The first part of the workshop will introduce eMI and the second part will enable participants to use it, as well as comment on its usefulness and usability, before being able to take it home with them. For further information on the e-tool if you are interested but not able to attend this workshop please contact Eleanor OKell (SC-HCA, Classics Project Officer), as other demonstrations are being planned and some materials can be made available by e-mail.

This workshop will build on two previous Service Oriented Computing in the Humanities events held in 2006 and 2007(under the auspices of SOSERNET and the AHRC ICT Methods Network). The workshop is structured around four invited presentations from different humanities disciplines. These disciplines are concerned with (e.g.) archaeological data, textual data, the visual arts and historical information. The presentations will approach humanities data, and the various uses of it, from different perspectives at different stages in the research lifecycle. There will reflection on the issues that arise at the conception of a research idea, through to data gathering, analysis, collaboration and publication and dissemination. A further presentation from Computer Science will act as a =91technical response=92 to these papers, showcasing different tool types and how they can be applied to the kinds of data and methods discussed. The presentations will be interspersed with scheduled discussion sessions and The emphasis throughout is on collaboration, and what the humanities and computer science communities can learn from one another: do we have a common agenda, and how can we take this forward? The day will conclude with a moderated discussion that will seek to identify and frame that agenda, and form the basis of a report. The workshop is organized by Stuart Dunn (Centre for e-Research, King's College), Nicolas Gold (Computing Science, King's College), Lorna Hughes (Centre for e-Research, King's College), Lisa Lena Opas-H=E4nninen (English, University of Oulu) and Tapio Sepp=E4nen (Information Engineering,= University of Oulu).

Traditionally, a huge gap is perceived between the symbolic representation of knowledge used in modern logic and the sub-symbolic representation considered dominant in human reasoning. Psychological experiments of the past even suggested that people often don't reason logically and, in general, that logic seems to play only a minor role in human reasoning. However, recently, new ways of explaining human reasoning seem to revive its relatedness to logic. For this reason this summer academy attempts to bring together researchers from both sides for an exchange of views. REGISTRATION If you want to attend the summer school, we'd prefer that you register by April 1, 2008. (See the online registration on the web page mentioned above.)

This workshop is about how to create and represent information or ideas through visualization techniques with a view to achieving better understanding through collaboration in visualization. The workshop is an opportunity for researchers working in science and engineering or the arts and humanities to develop practical experience across a broad range of visualization practice and thus a framework for articulating new ideas about working together. Who should attend? -- Arts and Humanities researchers, performers and artists, expert in one or more areas of visualization, who would like an introduction to, and overview of, other areas of visualization, including the latest research results, ideas and applications. -- Arts and Humanities researchers, performers and artists, new to visualization, who would like and introduction to, and overview of, the latest visualization practices and techniques. -- Arts and Humanities researchers, performers and artists who would like to contribute their expertise and insight to define the grand challenges in visualization in the Arts and Humanities, and in the emerging intersections in visualization between the Arts and Humanities and the Sciences and Engineering. Networking focus and invitation to participate vizNET 2008 is an excellent opportunity to network and to look for potential collaborators for your next research project while gaining an overview of what is available and who is working in what areas. You can showcase your latest visualization results in a 2-3 minute video, an A1 poster (printed for you by vizNET), and by giving a demo at your poster. In addition, information about your submitted video or poster will be included in the delegate pack. Call for video: http://www.viznet.ac.uk/viznet2008/callforvideo Call for posters: http://www.viznet.ac.uk/viznet2008/callforposters Format of workshop Full programme available at http://www.viznet.ac.uk/viznet2008/programme 7 May: Full day workshop with an up-front participant focus: a video showcase, participant introductions and poster viewings, and an intersections orientation workshop in networking across domains. We follow with vizNET introductions to modelling & simulation and data visualization, a presentation on visualization realism requirements in serious games & virtual worlds, and live hands-on vizNET demos including stereoscopic visualization. A networking dinner for all participants concludes the first day. 8 May: Full day workshop with ten sessions providing introductions to, overviews of, and recent results in -- Data visualization -- Combining real world and abstract visualization in the Humanities -- 3D capture -- Game engines for visualization -- Humanities visualization (2) -- Motion capture in Sports Science visualization -- Audiovisualization in the Arts -- Web-based visualization -- Grid-based visualization To be followed by a plenary session on how vizNET can help you to achieve your visualization needs, and the presentation of the best poster award. 9 May: Half-day workshop beginning with technical sessions; followed by the grand challenges in visualisation, and intersections in visualisation workshops. Will there be follow-up activities? vizNET 2008 is hosted by vizNET (http://www.viznet.ac.uk ), the UK Visualization Support Network, and 3DvisA (http://3dvisa.cch.kcl.ac.uk/index.html ), the 3D Visualisation in the Arts Network. Your input will assist us to determine which communities of practice and which areas of visualization could benefit from dedicated courses and training materials. It will also assist us to identify emerging Intersections (http://www.viznet.ac.uk/intersections ) in visualization practices and techniques within which additional network support could facilitate cross-domain collaboration. How much will it cost? Registration by 18 April is just £40 with a discounted student rate of £15. Participants must register online at http://www.viznet.ac.uk/conftool/index.php?page=index to reserve a place at the workshop. Participants are asked to pay their own travel and accommodation expenses. Further details on special accommodation rates for vizNET 2008 participants will be announced on the vizNET 2008 website shortly.

To find out more about the meeting, to register, or to learnabout accommodations and travel options, please visit our website at: http://www.elpub.net ELPUB has a reputation for providing a relaxed yet stimulating venue for discussion on diverse aspects of scholarly communications and publishing. In order to keep with past ELPUB tradition, conference enrollment is limited to 200 individuals (including speakers). We encourage you to register online as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. *Early bird fee is closed on April 30th, 2008.* We look forward to welcoming you to Toronto this June! About ELPUB 2008: Scholarly communications, and in particular scholarly publications, are undergoing tremendous changes. Researchers, universities, funding bodies, research libraries and publishers are responding in different ways, from active experimentation with new models and adaptation of existing practices, to strong resistance or rejection of new communication methods. ELPUB 2008 will focus on a number of key issues surrounding the future of scholarly communications that arise as a result of the intersection of semantic web technologies, the development of cyberinfrastructure for the humanities and the sciences, and new dissemination channels and business models. The three-day event will begin with a full day of technical workshops. The following two days will feature contributed papers examining a broad range of technical, conceptual, policy, and financial aspects of scholarly communication. Poster presentations and demonstrations of new publishing and research tools will form part of the program. A plenary session on funding and access policies for publicly funded research, and a special session on open access developments in transitional and developing countries will round out the program. The conference will begin and end with special keynotes by John Willinsky and Stevan Harnad. The final agenda for the conference will be available online in late March, after the peer-review of submitted papers has been completed and acceptances have been confirmed.

Academic Literacy and New Media New Models of Scholarly Communication Science Blogging Learning Trends in Learning Trends Emerging Technologies in 2008 Accessible Technology Guide Recommended Reading ...................................................................... ACADEMIC LITERACY AND NEW MEDIA "The process of composing texts in a world full of new media technologies requires us to reconfigure teaching and learning in remarkably innovative and, perhaps, ungrammatical ways." In "Re-Inventing the Possibilities: Academic Literacy & New Media" (FIBRECULTURE JOURNAL, issue 10, 2007), Cheryl Ball and Ryan Moeller present a webtext that both discusses and "demonstrates the possibilities of using new media to teach students critical literacy skills applicable to the 21st century." The authors express their perspectives as "converging narratives," sometimes speaking individually, sometimes together, and providing the reader visual cues in the text. The paper is available at http://journal.fibreculture.org/issue10/ball_moeller/index.html Fibreculture Journal [ISSN 1449-1443] is a peer-reviewed international journal that "explores the issues and ideas of concern and interest to both the Fibreculture network and wider social formations."

NEW MODELS OF SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION "In the past, it was useful to equate scholarly communication with the publication of monographs and journals, a process that could be clearly distinguished from other communication practices employed by scholars. The substantial expense, organized effort, and prolonged production and distribution process all readily distinguished communication involving tangible publications. These historic distinctions are now substantially blurred. As most forms of communication become untethered from the production of physical artifacts, some of the terminology of scholarly communication has been stretched to adapt. At the same time, publishing itself has become a term of much fuzziness." In "Talk About Talking About New Models of Scholarly Communication" (JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING, vol. 11, no. 1, Winter 2008), Karla L. Hahn considers some "dangers" that could impede creation of new scholarly communication systems, including: "Too many believe that change can wait." "Focusing on the publishing market can become myopic." "Scholarly communication cannot be considered somehow distinct from the research process." Hahn, Director of the Office of Scholarly Communications at the Association of Research Libraries, argues that greater dialogue is needed between scholars and researchers and the library community that supports them. She proposes questions to get the conversation started. Some include: "Who has access to the scholarly communication system and scholarly publications?" "What do quality and value mean in the Internet age?" "What is the right balance between the market and the gift economy that underpins all research and scholarly publishing?" "What are appropriate roles of research institutions in supporting change in scholarly communication and providing publishing infrastructure and dissemination capabilities?"

SCIENCE BLOGGING On January 20, 2008, the second annual North Carolina Science Blogging Conference was held in Research Triangle Park, NC. Over two hundred scientists, educators, and journalists from the U.S., Canada, and Sweden attended. The conference was a day of discussions, readings, and demonstrations about science and blogging. A variety of issues and perspectives on science communication were addressed, including science literacy, how science students are using blogs, science in classrooms and in homes, debunking pseudoscience, using blogs as tools for presenting scientific research, writing about science, and health and medicine. Although the conference is over, the conversations raised at the event continue online.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES IN 2008 Each year since 2001, MIT's TECHNOLOGY REVIEW has published a list of ten emerging technologies -- those "most likely to alter industries, fields of research, and even the way we live." Some in the area of information technology include: -- Modeling Surprise "Definition: Surprise modeling combines data mining and machine learning to help people do a better job of anticipating and coping with unusual events." "Impact: Although research in the field is preliminary, surprise modeling could aid decision makers in a wide range of domains, such as traffic management, preventive medicine, military planning, politics, business, and finance." -- Offline Web Applications "Definition: Offline Web applications, developed using Web technologies such as HTML and Flash, can take advantage of the resources of a user's computer as well as those of the Internet." "Impact: Developers can quickly and cheaply build full-fledged desktop applications that are usable in a broad range of devices and operating systems." -- Reality Mining "Definition: Personal reality mining infers human relationships and behavior by applying data-mining algorithms to information collected by cell-phone sensors that can measure location, physical activity, and more." "Impact: Models generated by analyzing data from both individuals and groups could enable automated security settings, smart personal assistants, and monitoring of personal and community health."

Building on this growth, Semantic Web technologies aim at providing a shared semantic information space, changing qualitatively our experiences on the Web. As Semantic Web technologies mature and permeate more and more application areas, new research challenges are coming to the fore and some unsolved ones are becoming more acute. These issues include creating and managing Semantic Web content, making Semantic Web applications robust and scalable, organizing and integrating information from different sources for novel uses, making semantics explicit in order to improve our overall experience with information technologies, and thus enabling us to use the wealth of information that is currently available in digital form for addressing our everyday tasks. To foster the exchange of ideas and collaboration, ISWC brings together researchers in relevant disciplines such as artificial intelligence, databases, social networks, distributed computing, web engineering, information systems, natural language processing, soft computing, and human-computer interaction. General Information ----------------------------- ISWC 2008 calls for papers to its research track. The research track solicits the submission of original, principled research papers dealing with both analytical theoretical and practical aspects of Semantic Web research. Papers of the latter type are encouraged to present repeatability of their experiments, and share with the community their data and test harnesses. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following. * Applications of the Semantic Web - Applications with clear lessons learned or evaluations - Semantic Web for large scale applications, desktops or personal information management - Semantic Web technologies for multimedia, sensors, and situational awareness - Semantic Web technologies for P2P, services, agents, grids and middleware * Management of Semantic Web Data - Languages, tools and methodologies for representing and managing Semantic Web data - Database, IR and AI technologies for the Semantic Web - Search, query, integration, and analysis on the Semantic Web - Robust and scalable knowledge management and reasoning on the Web - Machine learning and information extraction for the Semantic Web - Cleaning, assurance, trust, provenance of Semantic Web data, services and processes * Ontologies - Ontology modeling, reuse, extraction, and evolution - Ontology mapping, merging, and alignment - Searching and ranking ontologies - Ontology evaluation * Social Semantic Web - Social networks and processes on the Semantic Web - Semantic Web technologies for collaboration and cooperation - Representing and reasoning about trust, privacy, and security * User Interfaces - Visualization of and interacting with Semantic Web data - Semantic Web content creation and annotation - Mashing up Semantic Web data and processes general questions can be send to iswc2008'at'gmail.com ('at'=@) [...] Return-Path: Received: from fep15.clear.net.nz (fep15 [192.168.16.116]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JXP002APV4BW750@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz;

From: Yorick Wilks Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 18:41:41 +0000 FOURTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON HUMAN-COMPUTER CONVERSATION CALL FOR PAPERS 6-7 October, 2008 Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, Bellagio The purpose of the workshop is to bring together academic researchers and industrialists concerned with all aspects of human-computer conversation and the associated research issues of emotion, relationships, companionship, embodiment, ECAs, memory, evaluation etc. that persistent, personalised computational agents will need solutions for if they are to exist, as they will, in the reasonably near future. The earlier workshops in this series (see the first at http://icon.shef.ac.uk/meetings/bellagio/) were highly successful at getting industry groups to display their interests and prototypes as did university and independent researchers. Since 2000, there has been a great upsurge in research funding, and another aim of the meeting will be to bring together members of currently active research consortia in the EU and US, such as CALLAS, CALO, COSY, AMIDA, INDIGO, SOPRANO and others; the workshop is being held under the auspices of the EU 6FP IP COMPANIONS (www. companions-project.org)(2006-2010). Bellagio and the Villa Serbelloni are among the finest spots in the world for thought and reflection: see http://www.villaserbelloni.com/ IMPORTANT DATES: Abstracts due: 1 July 2008 Authors notified: 31 July 2008 Final papers due: 5 September 2008 Abstracts should use a simple template (modelled on two-column AISB format) at (Word version): http://www.companions-project.org/downloads/Bellagio08_template.doc Abstracts should not exceed two pages.

It is a continuation of the Australasian Ontology Workshop series: http://www.comp.mq.edu.au/conferences/aow/. The primary aim of the workshop is to bring together active researchers in the broad area of ontologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Ontology models and theories - Ontologies and the Semantic Web - Interoperability in ontologies - Ontologies and Multi-agent systems - Description logics for ontologies - Reasoning with ontologies - Ontology harvesting on the web - Ontology of agents and actions - Ontology visualisation - Ontology engineering and management - Ontology-based information extraction and retrieval - Ontology merging, alignment and integration - Web ontology languages - Formal concept analysis and ontologies The proceedings of the three workshops in the AOW series were published as volumes 58, 72, and 85 of the Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology (CRPIT) series (http://crpit.com/), and this will also be the case for the KROW 2008 proceedings. We also expect that extended versions of selected papers will appear in a special issue of an appropriate journal. Submission information such as format, page limits, etc. can be found on the CRPIT website: http://crpit.com/AuthorsSubmitting.html.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/cch/research/publications/humanist.html www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:39:04 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: complaints & a glimmer of hope Dear colleagues, No one is more aware than I am of the less than perfect performances of Humanist these last many months, failures principally manifested by long stretches of nothing followed by great lumps of something. Some of you, I suppose, have sent messages that have never appeared but been too reticent to enquire whether they were judged wanting in some mysterious respect. The fact is that these, if there be any, have simply disappeared in the works somewhere. Said works are sad and creaky. Much goes wrong behind the scenes -- and I am speaking of scenes I see and cannot get behind. Then, still, there's the bad habit of pasting in text directly from MS Word to a message bound for Humanist, which continues to multiply the work of preparing a batch of messages for distribution. Yes, this is a genuine complaint, made with some feeling, though I realise that it really should have been solved by software a long time ago, so that the likes of us, who have better things to think about, don't have to be concerned with the charming ways of Word and the disturbing effects of what we STILL think of as "special characters". In the blessed year of 2008, mind you. But at least I can use current problems as an excuse to relate a story, and so perhaps charm the pasters-from-Word into a laughing compliance. In a conference in Toronto in 1986, "Today's Research, Tomorrow's Teaching", organized some here will recall by Ian Lancashire, a young academic gave a paper on a system he had built, during which he boasted that he had greatly simplified the design by eliminating all accented characters (at the time a real problem to accommodate). The location being Canadian, the audience was rather prominently bilingual. Sitting in the back of the audience were Paul Bratley and Paul Fortier, both perfectly bilingual, who (I later learned from Paul F) tossed a coin to determine which of them would deal with this fellow. Fortier won the toss. In the question period he stood up and said something along these lines: "You are to be commended for your brilliant suggestion that we eliminate accented characters -- but I don't think you've gone far enough. Let's eliminate lower-case letters. After all, we did without them once. And we don't really need marks of punctuation either, and spaces between letters are, after all, superfluous. People once read perfectly well without them. And we know that Hebrew can be read quite well without vowels, so let's get rid of those as well...." During this time tittering turned into raucuous laughter, the poor young chap got redder and redder. Never made that mistake again, I reckon. What a pity we no longer have occasion for such comedy. Anyhow, back to the main story. After a year of unfortunate inaction, Humanist is being fixed, thanks to the fine and generous support of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations. Soon, perhaps even before DH2008 kicks off, there will be a shiny new interface with all sorts of features to make my life easier. You won't see the benefits directly; you'll have to infer the improvements in software from the better performances of Humanist. You may recall that a survey taken of Humanist members about a year ago established that very few if any wanted changes in how the postings look or how the subscriber mechanisms work. So the 21 year-old will look just like the toddler did. You'll also see some evidence of a much happier editor, which cannot be bad. All the best.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/cch/research/publications/humanist.html www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 17:13:14 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: the future is Bamboo? Some here will have heard by now of the Bamboo Planning Project (pdf of 16 January 2008 linked from http://cavlec.yarinareth.net/archives/2008/01/31/bamboo-one-to-watch/). Bamboo is a proposal being made by the University of California (Berkeley) and the University of Chicago "to develop shared technology services for research". David and Dorothea Salo, on their blog, Caveat Lector for 31 January, say that "Mellon would be *fools and madmen*" (emphasis theirs) not to fund it, and since Mellon is not stocked with fools and madmen, we are to expect great things. If by "great" one means "big", and if it is funded, then I think the expectation will be fulfilled. But if by "great" one means the best of what could be with an equivalent amount of money, then I wonder. From where I sit Bamboo seems only more of what has kept the digital humanities in the U.S. from fulfilling great (in the second sense) promises. I am thinking here of the promise that the British computational linguist Margaret Masterman saw in 1962, that the computer would become a "telescope of the mind" that would "enlarge the whole range of what its possessors could see and do" and so change "their whole picture of the world" ("The Intellect's New Eye", Times Literary Supplement, 27 April 1962, sixth in a series on computing titled, Freeing the Mind, later published separately as a booklet). Ok, I can hear the objections coming: the AI folks were saying reckless things of this kind in 1962 also, and look what happened to them.... But, I argue back, she did know what she was talking about. It turned out that the job was much, much harder than anyone thought at the time, for reasons closely related to the difficulties with Bamboo. It turned out that it meant rethinking what we mean by what we compute -- and that job requires the *fusion* of computing and the humanities, not the *servicing* of the humanities by computing. The problems begin on the title page, with, yes, the word "services" -- which makes an unfortunately persistent distinction between a technologist underclass and the scholarly upperclass. I am exaggerating somewhat by using such terms, but not all that much. The proposal speaks in the bland terms of five "communities", but these fall more or less on either side of the old sheep-and-goats divide. The communities are: arts and humanities scholars (underfunded, disadvantaged but tenured); computer scientists (equipped with solutions but in need of challenging problems, hence disadvantaged, but tenured); information scientists (good at managing flows of information in the networked world, of which the humanists' sort is particularly challenging, also tenured); librarians (obvious players, for whom such problems are just their cup of tea, not tenured in most places, or tenured in a different sense?); and last, campus information technologists (untenurable, and mostly not mentioned by name on university websites). Allow me to repeat an eloquent quotation I have published here before. It's from the historian Jaroslav Pelikan's fine book, The Idea of the University (1992), embarrassingly for some published 16 years ago: >the total university network of support services >for research must be seen as a free and >responsible community if it is to be equal to >the complexities that are faced by >university-based research. Scholars and >scientists in all fields have found that the >older configurations of such services, according >to which the principal investigator has the >questions and the staff person provides the >answers, are no longer valid, if they ever were; >as both the technological expertise and the >scholarly range necessary for research grow, it >is also for the formulation and refinement of >the questions themselves that principal >investigators have turned to "staff", whom it is >increasingly necessary -- not a matter of >courtesy, much less as a matter of >condescension, but as a matter of justice and of >accuracy -- to identify instead as colleagues in the research enterprize. (p. 62) The lack of this collegial relationship in most circumstances where humanities computing is at work is the primary cause of the fragmentation of which the Bamboo proposal rightly complains: >The fragmented way in which technology has so >far been created and used in the arts and >humanities means that researchers across these >fields do not have a shared sense of what >technology they need now and what technology >they would like to have in the future. (p. 4) That shared sense is created when an academic centre or department of humanities computing brings together on an equal footing the researchers who need to be involved. What then happens then is research on both sides -- which means, in the UK, research returnable under the Research Assessment Exercise. What does NOT happen is that some tenured PI, having imagined a project, then tells the technologists what to do. Often, in fact, the scholar-originator undergoes a considerable metanoia, and what emerges is far better than could have otherwise. Now whatever one may think of the RAE (seldom is heard an encouraging word), the marker of social equality is clear. This is not to argue that the answers are known and that there's an administrative template ready to copy. It is to argue that the desirable future for the digital humanities lies along such a trajectory. A full commentary on Bamboo would tax the patience of everyone. There are many good ideas in it. Perhaps there are some who would like to discuss it here?

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/cch/research/publications/humanist.html www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 13:31:11 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: becoming rich and famous In "I'm a Surfer", a review of Craig Venter's A Life Decoded: My Genome: My Life" (2007), in London Review of Books 30.6, Steven Shapin recounts how until fairly recently "you did not choose a scientific career with the idea of getting rich". Starting salaries for American scientists at the end of WWII were the equivalent of $17,000, and a few full professors at the peak of their careers commanded about the equivalent of today's $85,000. Shapin quotes an article in Science to the effect that the scientist was not concerned with hours of work, fame or fortune but simply wanted a salary to keep him (as mostly it was then) going so that he could do his research. "To boil it down," this article concluded, "he is primarily interested in what he can do for science, not in what science can do for him." Shapin goes on to document how the enormous wealth thrown at American scientists from early in the Cold War on changed the outlook of the average scientist, down to the kind of car he drove, perhaps the most obvious distinguisher of status within the ranges of the middle class. Physicists felt the change first, of course. For a time it was assumed that the biological sciences were immune, but with the rise of the biotechnologies all that changed. Life scientists who came of age in the period from 1960s to 1980s "experienced seismic shifts in the material and institutional possibilities of scientific life". "What changed everything was new technology", Shapin concludes. The rub, of course, is in the tradeoff -- what a scientist loses in order to gain a life in the fast and well-provisioned lane. The humanities have always been a cheap date, as Jim O'Donnell has said at one time or another. We're still cheap in comparison to our scientific colleagues, even those of us who need fast kit to visualise possible worlds. But we're connected, increasingly by necessity, to the funding pipeline. The imperative to demonstrate one's relevance to the larger society figures in, if for no other reason than the comparative difficulty of persuading by means of argument rather than by means of an impressive looking object. That imperative is important to obey. It is a good sign that the Arts and Humanities Research Council (the primary UK funding body for the humanities) is requiring explanations be made to an intelligent but ignorant audience as well as to experts in one's area of research. What concerns me isn't some fantasy of one day being on a gravy-train as opulent as the scientists', rather it is of the managerialism which eats some researchers I know alive. There's the huge overhead of applying for grants, then the huge overhead of managing the work and the people involved. Few in the humanities will ever have the wherewithal and necessity to hire a full-time manager and fund-raiser, as the physicist Louis Alvarez had done when I worked for him in the 1960s. That job will fall and does fall on the individual researcher. I have heard all the rationalizations used under these circumstances. But I wonder, is this the life we want to have? Where are the long spoons to be found? How have working scientists coped? Are there administrative structures now in place that deal with the situation satisfactorily? Comments?

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/cch/research/publications/humanist.html www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 09:02:51 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Greg Dening Yesterday morning I received the sad news of the death of Greg Dening, pre-eminent ethnographic historian of the South Pacific, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Melbourne and Adjunct Professor at the Centre for Cross-Cultural Research, ANU. He was the author of Mr Bligh's Bad Language: Passion, Power and Theatre on the Bounty (Cambridge, 1992); The Death of William Gooch: A History's Anthropology (Hawai'i, 1995); Performances (Chicago, 1996); Readings/Writings (Melbourne, 1998); Beach Crossings: Voyages across Times, Cultures and Self (Pennsylvania, 2004); and most recently, Church Alive! Pilgrimages in Faith 1956-2006 (UNSW Press, 2006), about which he was recently interviewed on the Sunday Nights programme, www.abc.net.au/sundaynights/stories/s1794696.htm. Stan Katz's memorial for him, in the "Brainstorm: Lives of the Mind" column, Chronicle of Higher Education, may be found at http://chronicle.com/review/brainstorm/katz/greg-dening-rip. Stan told me, over lunch at the 1991 ACH/ALLC conference in New York, that whatever else I did in Australia (where I had been invited to speak the next month), I had to go see Greg Dening, whom he called "one of the greats". I'm not sure that the visit itself accomplished very much other than to get some idea of the man sufficient to push me toward his books, some of which I read on return home. After I did that I knew what Stan meant. In conversation Greg compared the publishing of a book to dropping a rose petal into a deep canyon and waiting for the splash. What I heard was thunder, especially from his curiously powerful memoirs, Readings/Writings; from his essay on historiography, "A Poetic for Histories", in Performances; and from the short book, The Death of William Gooch. What it was the thunder of, I suppose, occurs to me now as a fusion of enormous intellect and enormous courage, or rather, what that fusion allows to happen, what it unlocks, lets loose in the mind and into the world. Stan talks in his obituary about the creation of ethnographic history by colleagues at Princeton during the 1970s and 1980s and simultaneously by Greg and Rhys Isaac in Australia. For some here the importance of that kind of history won't need any explaining. Suffice it to say that for something as recent as computing, with its struggles to become a real subject of study, ethnographic history is crucial -- as it is to the history of anything very recent. But Greg's work has far greater importance, the kind that does not require that you be a student of this or that subject, only that you be intellectually alive and so feel the need to expand beyond the next set of walls you haven't yet encountered. The sense of loss when someone of that stature dies is profound, literally. One wonders, what will we do now? I suppose, having eaten such a meal, "grow stronger and feed others" is one answer. The great thing about books is that the meal can be eaten over and over again. The great thing about reading books is that it's co-creative. And so one has to ask, what am I now that I have become reader of such words?

Proposals may be for individual paper presentations, panel sessions or poster sessions (including tool demonstrations). This year's meeting will feature three days of keynote lectures, parallel sessions, the annual TEI business meeting, a poster session/tools demonstration and slam, as well as a full meeting day (8 November) for TEI Special Interest Groups (SIGs). We are especially pleased to announce keynote talks by Vanda Broughton (University College London), Dino Buzzetti (University of Bologna), and Charlotte Roueché (King's College London). Please join us in participating in this 21st anniversary meeting of the TEI. ** Submission Topics ** Topics might include but are not restricted to: - TEI-based projects involving cultural heritage - Using TEI to create: - scholarly editions - hybrid publications (digital and print) - Tools that use TEI - TEI used in conjunction with: - different technologies - other standards - TEI as: - metadata standard - interchange format: sharing, mapping and migrating data - TEI and its contribution to digital scholarship - TEI and markup theory In addition, we are seeking P5 micropaper proposals for 5 minute presentations on the topic "My favourite (or least favourite) P5 feature, chapter, or addition". ** Submission Types ** Individual paper presentations will be allocated 30 minutes: 20 minutes for delivery, and 10 minutes for questions & answers. 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; **- Working paper session: 3-6 papers circulated and read by the audience in advance, so the entire session is dedicated to discussion of and questions & answers about, the papers rather than presenting the papers; **- Round table discussion: 3-6 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 will have the opportunity to participate in a slam immediately preceding the poster session. P5 micropapers will be allocated 5 minutes. For submission procedures, please see All proposals should be submitted at http://www.tei-c.org/conftool/ by 30 April 2008.

It will consider how collaboration between the two parties is best achieved and examine potential, and actual, areas of friction and conflict. Papers will focus on how decisions are made about the presentation of the text, and its apparatus, both explanatory and textual; on how questions of typographic design relate to scholarly choices, and on the role, if any, of the editor in paratextual matters such as dust-jacket design and advertising. Twenty-minute papers are invited on all aspects of the scholarly edition involving decisions by publishers and editors: general textual representation and design; issues of typography and layout; presentation of explanatory notes and textual apparatus; design of prelims and covers; publicity and advertising. The emphasis of the conference will be on print editions, but contributions on electronic editions that consider issues of presentation will be welcomed.

W. Beth Dissertation Prize: 2008 call for submissions E. W. Beth Dissertation Prize: 2008 call for submissions Since 2002, FoLLI (the European Association for Logic, Language, and Information, www.folli.org) awards the E. W. Beth Dissertation Prize to outstanding dissertations in the fields of Logic, Language, and Information. We invite submissions for the best dissertation which resulted in a Ph.D. degree in the year 2007. The dissertations will be judged on technical depth and strength, originality, and impact made in at least two of the three fields of Logic, Language, and Computation. Inter-disciplinarity is an important feature of the theses competing for the E. W. Beth Dissertation Prize. Who qualifies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nominations of candidates are admitted who were awarded a Ph.D. degree in the areas of Logic, Language, or Information between January 1st, 2007 and December 31st, 2007. There is no restriction on the nationality of the candidate or the university where the Ph.D. was granted. After a careful consideration, FoLLI has decided to accept only dissertations written in English. Dissertations produced in 2007 but not written in English or not translated will be allowed for submission, after translation, also with the call next year (for 2008). Respectively, nominations of full English translations of theses originally written in other language than English and defended in 2006 and 2007 will be accepted for consideration this year, too. Prize ~~~~~ The prize consists of: * a certificate * a donation of 2500 euros provided by the E. W. Beth Foundation. * an invitation to submit the thesis (or a revised version of it) to the new series of books in Logic, Language and Information to be published by Springer-Verlag as part of LNCS or LNCS/LNAI. (Further information on this series is available on the FoLLI site) How to submit ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Only electronic submissions are accepted. The following documents are required: 1. the thesis in pdf or ps format (doc/rtf not accepted); 2. a ten page abstract of the dissertation in ascii or pdf format; 3. a letter of nomination from the thesis supervisor. Self-nominations are not admitted: each nomination must be sponsored by the thesis supervisor. The letter of nomination should concisely describe the scope and significance of the dissertation and state when the degree was officially awarded; 4. two additional letters of support, including at least one letter from a referee not affiliated with the academic institution that awarded the Ph.D. degree. All documents must be submitted electronically to bethaward2008@gmail.com. Hard copy submissions are not admitted. In case of any problems with the email submission or a lack of notification within three working days after submission, nominators should write to goranko@maths.wits.ac.za or policriti@dimi.uniud.it. Important dates ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Deadline for Submissions: April 30th, 2008. Notification of Decision: July 15th, 2008.

I'm not really aware of recent work in this area and I'm wondering what, if anything, is being done at this time or in the recent past. Last time I looked into it good OCR from handwritten texts was a long way off - for nicely written, straight English text, to say nothing of heavily abbreviated medieval Latin or Old English writing. But I'd be delighted to be proven wrong. I know this is off-topic, so please send me citations and comments off-list. (The query was sent within the context of TEI, which is why I'm asking here at all...) Thanks!

KR&R techniques are key drivers of innovation in computer science, and they have led to significant advances in practical applications in a wide range of areas from Artificial Intelligence to Software Engineering. Explicit representations of knowledge manipulated by reasoning engines are an integral and crucial component of intelligent systems. Semantic Web technologies, the design of software agents and Bio-Informatics technologies, in particular, provide significant challenges for KR&R. We intend KR2008 to be a forum for the exchange of new ideas, issues, and results among the community of researchers in the principles and practices of KR&R systems. We encourage papers presenting substantial new results in the principles of KR&R systems that clearly contribute to the formal foundations or show the applicability of the results to implemented or implementable systems. We also encourage ``reports from the field" of building knowledge bases, applications, experiments, developments, and tests. Such papers should be explicitly identified as reports from the field by the authors, to ensure appropriate reviewing, and should include a section on evaluation. Papers must be submitted in AAAI style (pdf only) <http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php> Paper length is 7 pages maximum including title, author information and references. Authors may add to the paper an optional, clearly marked Appendix containing technical material (such as proofs, evaluation results etc.) supporting claims made in the paper. The Appendix must not exceed 2 additional pages in AAAI style. The evaluation of the submission will be based on the quality of the paper. The optional Appendix will be used in case reviewers are in doubt about claimed results. Submission will be through the Easychair conference management system http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=KR-2008 Conference proceedings will be published by AAAI Press. Final versions of papers will be considerably longer than the submissions: for each accepted paper 11 pages in AAAI style will be allocated in the proceedings.

A few poster sessions and many panel addressed issues of digital archives, other panelists theorized the digital. I'd like to write this year's MLA into my travel grant so I can attend panels on the digital. However, the program is not yet set. Is anyone on this list planning to present on digital issues (practical, pedagogical or theoretical)? Thanks, Kathy Harris ****************** Dr. Katherine D.

Professor McCarty has suggested I should post a short statement about myself to the list, so here goes... I am a 44 year old, single (unattached, for those who are interested in these things) male student, returning to university study after sixteen years, undertaking an MA (Research) degree, over two years full-time (in 2008 and 2009) at the University of Sydney, culminating in a Thesis on: The origins, development, and impact of Anti-Americanism (Anti-American sentiment) on the World Wide Web (English language sites only) between 1993 and the present. I am the author of three non-fiction (but non-academic) books and was a High School teacher of History (and English) previously (more details are available at http://gregbabic.com). I am returning to full-time university postgraduate study this year as part of a career change to Academia. A life-long and passionate devotee of the study of (and teaching of) History, I am hoping that my Masters study will give me a taste for professional scholarship. Having just started (on 3 March 2008) I am only now beginning to fully understand how challenging this project might be, so I would naturally welcome any suggestions, guidance, or assistance that list members would care to provide. I look forward to being part of the Humanist list from now on. Thank you. -- GREG BABIC | Candidate Master of Arts (Research) Degree DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry (SOPHI) Faculty of Arts c/- Quadrangle Building (A14) The University of Sydney | NSW | 2006 AUSTRALIA ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

KLUGE CENTER AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS OPENS LECTURE SERIES ON "DIGITAL NATIVES" Press Release: < http://www.loc.gov/today/pr/2008/08-057.html >. Young people today born into a digital world are experiencing a far different environment of information-gathering and access to knowledge than a generation ago. Who are these "digital natives" and what are they thinking? How are they using the technology, and are IT experts adequately responding to them? These questions will be addressed in a new Library of Congress series titled "Digital Natives." The first lecture will explore how young people think, learn and play. Distinguished scholar and child-development expert Edith Ackerman will present "The Anthropology of Digital Natives" at 4 p.m. on Monday, April 7, in the Montpelier Room on the sixth floor of the James Madison Building, 101 Independence Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C. Sponsored by the LibraryE28099s John W. Kluge Center, the event is free and open to the public. No tickets or reservations are needed. In addition, the lecture will be webcast live at www.loc.gov. Ackerman is an honorary professor of developmental psychology at the University of Aix-Marseille in France. She is currently a visiting scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the School of Architecture and a visiting professor at the University of Siena in the Department of Communications. The four-lecture series will examine the generation that has been raised with the computer as a natural part of their lives, with emphasis on the young people currently in schools and colleges today. The series will seek to understand the practices and culture of these digital natives, the cultural implications of the phenomenon and the implications for education - schools, universities and libraries. Ackerman is particularly interested in helping shape the future of play and learning in a digital world. "I study how people use place, relate to others and treat things to find their ways - and voices - in an ever-changing world," she said. Future lectures in the series will be at 4 p.m. in the Montpelier Room of the James Madison Building. They include: --Monday, May 12: "Internet, the Private Mind?" by Steven Berlin Johnson, author of "Everything Bad is Good for You." --Monday, June 23: "The Anthropology of YouTube" by Michael Wesch, assistant professor of cultural anthropology at Kansas State University. --Monday, June 30: "Screenology" by Douglas Rushkoff, author of "Playing the Future: What We Can Learn from Digital Kids." --The moderators and coordinators for these events are Deanna Marcum, associate librarian for Library Services at the Library of Congress, and Derrick de Kerckhove, holder of the Harissios Papamarkou Chair in Education at the Kluge Center. The Papamarkou Chair in Education was established at the Library of Congress by a gift from Alexander Papamarkou (1930-1998), an investment banker who was generous in his support of the arts, education and medicine, in honor of his grandfather, a Greek educator. Holders of the Papamarkou Chair focus their research on the LibraryE28099s role in education and examine the impact of education on individuals and society. Through a generous endowment from John W. Kluge, the Library of Congress established the Kluge Center in 2000 to bring together the worldE28099s best thinkers to stimulate and energize one another to distill wisdom from the LibraryE28099s rich resources and to interact with policymakers in Washington.

KR&R techniques are key drivers of innovation in computer science, and they have led to significant advances in practical applications in a wide range of areas from Artificial Intelligence to Software Engineering. Explicit representations of knowledge manipulated by reasoning engines are an integral and crucial component of intelligent systems. Semantic Web technologies, the design of software agents and Bio-Informatics technologies, in particular, provide significant challenges for KR&R. We intend KR2008 to be a forum for the exchange of new ideas, issues, and results among the community of researchers in the principles and practices of KR&R systems. We encourage papers presenting substantial new results in the principles of KR&R systems that clearly contribute to the formal foundations or show the applicability of the results to implemented or implementable systems. We also encourage ``reports from the field" of building knowledge bases, applications, experiments, developments, and tests. Such papers should be explicitly identified as reports from the field by the authors, to ensure appropriate reviewing, and should include a section on evaluation.

In turn it is derived from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (U.S.), whose online archives do not go back that far. At last we have a claim on betterment of the world! Yours, WM > >The toy theory of Western history > > >Monday, December 19, 1977 >M. E. D. Koenig > >BY M. E. D. KOENIG Mr. Koenig is director of development at the >Institute for Scientific Information in Philadelphia, Pa. The >following extract is reprinted by permission of the Bulletin of the >Atomic Scientists, copyright 1977 by the Educational Foundation for >Nuclear Science. > >THE EXCESS of militarism which has plagued Western society for the >past century and a half is largely the result of a motivation which >our society consistently underestimates. That motivation is very >simply the desire to play with toys. The phrase play with toys is >used here in the very broad sense of manipulating devices which are >both novel and high-performance, devices which push the state of the art. > >The consequences of this seemingly harmless propensity have been >extraordinarily significant and rather unfortunate. We have >rationalized and built large military organizations primarily for >the purpose of providing those technophiles among us with the >opportunity to play with the neatest and newest toys. The military >is in reality simply a gigantic communal toy-owning organization. >That is its fascination and its true raison d'etre. > >The insidious nature of our predilection for toys lies not only in >the consequences of the rationalizations that we have used, but in >the blindness of the non-technophile to the importance that toys >possess for a major portion of our society. > >The motivations of most people in the military are for the most part >unrecognized, even by themselves. They are, like most of us, unaware >of their unconscious motivations. Those who are aware suppress it. >Playing with toys is not perceived as a mature man-like thing to do >in our society and, even if it were, the admission of it would >jeopardize the military's existence by violating its rationale for existence. > >How many people are, on the face of it, willing to spend a vast >amount of our national resources on a toy co-operative? If the >military functioned only as a toy-owning organization, its function >would be innocuous enough. However, the problem is that once a >military organization has been created, its momentum builds and >there is a tendency to use the organization for its avowed purpose. >This problem arises primarily because of society's refusal to admit >the importance of toys as a form of manipulation. > >The military and the technophiles must find a way of rationalizing >their toy co-op, and the rationalization takes the all-too-familiar >form of national defence, national preparedness, missile gap and so >on. This rationalization has been determined in large part by the >nature of technology itself. The most enjoyable toys are the most >powerful, those that push the state of the art the hardest. For the >past 150 years the nature of technology itself has been such that >those applications which pushed the state of the art have been >defensible only for the military. . > >Democratic the military may not be, but it is in a sense a populist >institution which can make available the toys of our culture to >millions of people for whom they would have been otherwise >unobtainable. Great personal wealth is the only alternative and not >many of us are blessed with it. > >The unconscious realization of this state of affairs was a major >motivation behind the hippie movement, or counterculture, of the >1960s. The hippies were saying, in effect: Society, your goddam toys >are dangerous; we want to substitute something else - love, drugs, >beads. Hippies were also prisoners of our culture, and they were, >unfortunately, in the main unaware of what they were really trying >to say. They diluted and disguised their message with political >propaganda, rationalizing their actions just as effectively as the >technophiles rationalized theirs. > >The irony is that while the technophiles' rationalizations continued >to serve military purposes, the rationalizations of the hippies were >counterproductive, alienating many of their potential supporters. . . > >Despite the basic logic and relevance of the hippie protest, it was >in a very real sense beside the point and after the fact. That is, >new technology has been increasingly applicable directly to >non-military applications. In this trend lies our hope of breaking >the spiral of escalation. Toys are inevitable, and our task is to >provide access to these fruits of technology outside the military, >and to increase the opportunities for the public to participate in >their pleasures. > >This trend away from military dominance of the forefront of >technology is composed of three basic elements: (1) One element has >been the introduction of nuclear weapons. The nature of military >hardware has been changed; it has been dehumanized. Destructive >power has been incredibly concentrated, and the opportunity to play >with the toys correspondingly lessened. > >One individual ICBM in a silo in Montana contains far more >destructive power than a squadron of 21, B-17s carrying 10 men each, >but delivers not nearly so much visceral excitement. Only a few men >are directly involved, and their opportunity to practice with their >toys is severely limited. . (2) Involvement with the military's most >impressive hardware has also been limited to a select few. >Increasingly, the military provides sport for spectators rather than >direct participation. > >And the stronger this trend becomes, the greater the importance of >NASA's better-quality, toy-dominated spectaculars. These spectator >sports - NASA and manned-space exploration (now sadly moribund) - >are tthe second element. > >The visceral thrill, the gut-filling rumble, that a Saturn V >provides is important and will be so as long as man occupies a >physical self. The point is that a civilian organization, NASA, has >toys the military cannot match - fascinating powerful toys that are >also of relative safety to society. (3) The third and most important >element has been the introduction of the computer. The computer is a >toy of such a vast spectrum of potential use that the military can >dominate only a very small part of it. Any university computation >centre, or any major industrial organization, has computers of a >power that are quite comparable to what the military possesses. > >A further consequence of the unique nature of the computer, and one >that is equally as important, is that not only is the hardware >available outside the military but the most interesting and >satisfying opportunities to use that hardware are also in the >non-military sector. > >That is, even if the DC-3 had possessed the performance potential of >a P-40, a commercial pilot, with passengers or cargo aboard, simply >would never have an opportunity to wring his plane out in the >fashion of a military pilot. But with computer technology, this >position is reversed. The opportunity to put a computer through its >paces is far greater in the groves of academe than in any military >organization. . . > >A trend toward decreasing military control of our toys is obviously >one to be encouraged. Along these lines some suggestions and ideas >are herewith offered: (1) We should promote the rapid acquisition of >computer expertise by societies other than our own, particularly >Soviet and Chinese societies, and embargoes and restricted lists >should be modified. . . (2) We should continue with manned space >exploration. There is no real need for space exploration to be a >race. Indeed, it can be a very appropriate vehicle for international >co-operation. However, it must be supported at a level that will >allow it to maintain a technology that is substantially in advance >of the military. We must also admit that an element of the >spectacular is a necessary and a quite legitimate aspect of >exploration. Space spectacular should no longer be a phrase of >condescension. (3) Not all of us are intrigued by computers, >however, and the need to provide non-military access to traditional >toys is of equally great importance. Given the nature of modern >military weapons, the speed with which we can provide this access >becomes crucial. . . (4) An even more direct solution was hinted at >earlier: a direct substitute for the military - a straightforward >government-supported organization or agency whose explicit purpose >is to provide access to toys. > >Such an agency need not start with its own toys, it need only >provide access - the establishment's equivalent to the Whole Earth >Catalog. (5) It has been a stock remark for years among technophiles >that the Government could reduce its defence budget simply by >charging for access to its toys: renting brief rides in an F-4 with >supersonic speeds guaranteed; holding public firepower >demonstrations; selling space aboard a destroyer for a weekend of >antisubmarine warfare operations. (6) There is, of course, no >requirement that this toy access department (TAD) specialize in >military toys. Many technophiles covet, for example, the chance to >operate powerful Peterbilt's (if all the legendary prowess of >Rolls-Royce, Bugatti and Ferrari were combined in one automobile, >that car would be to cars what Peterbilt is to trucks) or GGIs (the >classic electric locomotive). What is crucial is that the hurdles >obstructing non-military access to toys be drastically lowered.

Frankfurt, published by >Princeton University Press, and picking up >Mindfucking by Colin McGinn, published by >Acumen, we wondered when the new discourse would >spread to mainstream publishers, such as >Penguin. We didn't have to wait long: customers >who bought On Bullshit and Mindfucking will also >want to buy A$$hole by Martin Lihn (Penguin, >£7.99). A$$hole, which carries the subtitle "How >I got rich and happy by not giving a s*** about >you", offers "an effective program of Assholism: >Ten Steps toward your awakening as a prick". >These include "Keep your eye on the (Ass)hole, >Not the Donut" and "Act As If... pretending >you're a dick - and totally loving it". > >If you find yourself beset by fears that >everything is getting worse, take heart. We have >observed that when one form of socially approved >behaviour disintegrates, another is >automatically established to take its place. So >you may feel better about A$$hole on learning >that, while it is repellent according to the old >standard, it is virtuous when judged by the new. >A$$hole is printed on "mixed sources" paper, >produced in "well managed forests and other >controlled sources. Penguin Books is committed >to a sustainable future for our business, our >readers and our planet. The book in your hands" >-- A$$hole: How I got rich and happy by not >giving a s*** about you -- "is made from paper >certified by the Forest Stewardship Council". What does this have to do with computing, you ask. Apart from the doctrine of the paperless office supposedly brought about by computing, which shines in the same Light of Virtue as Penguin's A$$hole (where the sun don't shine? Ha!) , there's the common concern with sustainability. But more than anything else, it's Friday, and if like me you've been sitting in front of your computer(s) all day and had one in your pocket for most of that time etc etc, you need to know that we truly are a silly lot. All the best for a fine weekend.

For those here possibly the most interesting to date is Sarai Reader 03: Shaping Technologies. This from the introduction: >Sarai Reader 03: Shaping Technologies sets out >to ratchet our engagement with the contemporary >moment a notch higher, in directions that are >sober, exhilarating and discomfiting, all at once. >Technology, which figures as an important strand >in both previous Readers -- Sarai Reader 01: The >Public Domain and Sarai Reader 02: The Cities of >Everyday Life -- has here taken centre-stage as a >multi-faceted constellation of ideas, images, >reflections, debates, histories and >provocations. The first Reader held an encounter >with the discourse around free software with >which we viewed the possibility of the formation >of a new public domain, and the second raised >issues such as biotechnology, surveillance, and >the politics of information technology. This >third volume in the series presents a drawing >together of many threads that echo and carry >forward earlier themes and discussions to offer >an array of considerations that locate >themselves squarely within the present, while >facing the future, and with an eye towards >history. This collection seeks to bring to the >fore a series of situations and predicaments >that mark the encounter between people and >machines, between nature and culture, and between knowledge and power. But there is much else of great interest in other Readers.

It is held biennially in Bulgaria and grew out from the international summer schools "Contemporary topics in Computational Linguistics" organised for many years in Bulgaria as international training events. The RANLP conferences in 1995, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007 had invited talks by leading names in NLP and accepted papers of high quality, rigorously reviewed by an international Programme Committee of well-known experts. Most of the RANLP conferences published a volume with Selected papers in the John Benjamins series "Current trends of linguistic research". The conferences also featured tutorials on hot NLP topics delivered by leading researchers. RANLP 2007 was accompanied by nine international workshops. Submission deadline: End of April/beginning of May 2009 (the conference web site will have updated information) RANLP-09 will be held in the picturesque resort of Borovets. Located in the Rila mountains, it is one of the best known ski and tourist resorts in South-East Europe. Hotel Samokov, the conference venue, offers excellent study and leisure facilities.

Vision and Perception in a Digital Culture - CALL FOR PAPERS - CALL FOR PAPERS - CALL FOR PAPERS - SEEING... VISION AND PERCEPTION IN A DIGITAL CULTURE CHArt (Computers and the History of Art) 2008 Conference Thursday 6 - Friday 7 November 2008 (central London venue to be confirmed) This year's CHArt conference takes seeing as its theme and the associated questions of vision, perception, visibility and invisibility, blindness and insight - all in the context of our contemporary digital culture in which our eyes are assaulted by ever greater amounts of visual stimulus, while we are also increasingly being surveyed, on a continual basis. What does it mean to see and be seen nowadays? How have advances in neuroscience or developments in technology altered our understanding of vision and perception? What kind of visual spaces do we now inhabit? What new kinds of visual experiences are now available? And what are now lost or no longer possible? How does the increasing digitalisation of media affect the experience of seeing? What and who might be rendered invisible by the processes of digital culture? What are our current digital culture's blindspots? What are its politics of seeing? For the twenty-forth CHArt conference we are looking for papers that reflect upon these issues. We welcome contributions from all sections of the CHArt community: art historians, artists, architects and architectural theorists and historians, curators, museum professionals, scientists, cultural and media theorists, archivists, technologists, software developers, educationalists, philosophers and any others who have a stake in the question of seeing in a digital culture. Please email a three to four hundred word synopsis of the proposed paper with brief CV of presenter/s by 30 May 2008 to Hazel Gardiner (hazel.gardiner@kcl.ac.uk).

The keynote invited talk of the workshop is Abstracting Biological Development to Evolve Large-Scale Artificial Neural Networks presented by Kenneth O. Stanley. In his talk Kenneth will focus on recent work in indirect encoding of neural networks through an abstraction of biological development called Hypercube-based NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (HyperNEAT). The primary conceptual focus will be on the critical role of abstraction in biologically-inspired systems. More can be found at: http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/ Note that the program of the workshop will continue with plenary lectures and poster session. You can submit your workshop contribution through the conference system (http://icann2008.org/submit). Contributions will be included in conference proceedings published by Springer. If you have already submitted your paper to ICANN 2008 and you want to present your contribution at the workshop, indicate it in the the "Comments to the Chair" field in the submission system or by email to info@icann2008.org. Please note that the deadline for the submissions is April 7 2008.

This contains, for example, the annotated notes to the lecture he gave on 14 November 1957, to the Operations Research Society of America meeting, at which he made his predictions (later published with Allen Newell in Operations Research 6.1: 1-10) of what would happen by November 1967.

CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Proposal Submission Deadline: 05/30/2008 Full Chapters Due: 10/31/2008 Literary Education and Digital Learning: Methods and Technologies for Humanities Studies A book edited by Willie van Peer, University of Munich, Germany Sonia Zyngier, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Vander Viana, Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Introduction We live at a time of enormous realignments in the use of media. Each day more information can be retrieved from the Internet. The world is not one of knowing how to access and manage information rather than storing and processing it. In the area of literature, ever more information on literary production is being disseminated and retrieved in electronic form. This has considerable consequences for the form and use of such information. It also has consequences for learning and research environments at educational institutions. Today's popularization of modern technologies has allowed scholars in the Humanities, including literature specialists, to access an array of novel opportunities in the digital medium, which have brought about an equal number of challenges and questions. In spite of the vast amount of information now at hand, very little has been provided for the advance of literary education. Objective of the book This volume aims at providing a deep probe into the most relevant issues in literary education and digital learning. The chapters will be organized into two categories: research and education. The first group will collect studies investigating the impact of technoloies in literary research. Its main aim is to understand how computers and other new technologies may help scholars investigate literary works in novel ways, thus bringing new perspectives to the area. The second group will look into the potential of applying distance learning methods/concepts/environments to the field of literature. In other words, it will collect contributions on how these resources may be used by scholars and students either inside or outside regular classrooms, provided that these classroom applications are not accounts of experience but based on research. In sum, the volume will offer a survey of how digital literary education has developed, where it stands now, how research in this area has progressed, and what the prospects are for the future. Target audience This volume will be of interest to those interested in digital learning/teaching and/or literature, especially in the university context. This book will also interest literature professionals who would like to see how digital learning works in practice. In addition, the book will be highly valuable to those researchers in the field interested in keeping abreast with current developments in the confluence of their fields of expertise and technological settings. Recommended topics The topics to be covered in Parts I (Research) and II (Education) should encompass literature and one of the following aspects (the list below is not comprehensive, other topics may be welcomed, and especially those in which authors are considered specialists): *Applications in Distance Learning *Authoring Tools *Collaborative Learning *Corpus-based Research *Empirical Research on Digital Learning/Teaching *Future Challenges *Learning Technologies *Methods in Distance Education Teaching *Online Education Tools and Technologies *Online Learning *Shortcomings of Distance Learning Applications and Technologies *Web-Based Course Authoring Tools Submission procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before May 30, 2008, a 2-4 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by July 31, 2008 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by October 31, 2008. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the "Information Science Reference" (formerly Idea Group Reference) and "Medical Information Science Reference" imprints.

From our collective experience to date, what can be said about the wisdom of hybrid publication? Let's say, to focus discussion, that one has a print journal with a strictly limited number of pages and some constraints on publication of colour images. (This is not, I would think, an unusual set of constraints.) An obvious way around the limitations is to put the overflow and/or the colour plates online, with the URL given in the appropriate places in the journal. Obviously one needs to be able to guarantee, to the extent one can, that the URL will be valid for a long time to come. Apart from the infirmity of all such guarantees, are there any problems? If you were editor of a journal, would you do this, or would you practice and enforce restraint?

Have you looked at your desk lately? Yes? Shouldn't you be ashamed? No? Shouldn't you be ashamed? * This paper by Tom Clark called "Resource Overloads" focuses on the resource that is of greatest concern to most organizations =96 personnel. In a project management system, personnel resources may be identified as individuals by name or as functional groups, such as computer programmers. * Donna Barron closes with a short and practical article on how to avoid disaster when your hard drive fails. This should be read and re-read by everyone, especially Ubiquity's chief editor, who recently lost a ton of data (meticulously weighed). And this from a man who's been using computers since computing was done by rubbing two sticks together.

Although there exist separate histories of single humanities disciplines, a comparative history would satisfy a long-felt need, and fill a conspicuous gap in intellectual history. Call for Abstracts: We invite submissions that explore the connections between different disciplines in the history of the humanities. While the focus is on the early modern period when the humanities started to emerge (roughly 1400-1800), we also welcome proposals for papers exploring interesting links with earlier or later periods. Topics include all aspects of the history of philology, linguistics, logic, rhetoric, music theory, 'ars historica' and 'ars poetica', with an emphasis on their interrelations as well as their impact on the natural sciences, philosophy and theology, and on the broader cultural and political context Deadline for abstract submissions: 1 July 2008 Notification of acceptance: 20 July 2008 Date of the conference: 23-25 October 2008 The conference will take place in the historical Doelenzaal (built in 1509) of the University Library at the University of Amsterdam.

Conf. on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems - Call for Papers (revised) RR 2008 The Second International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems http://www.rr-conference.org/RR2008 Karlsruhe, Germany, October 31 - November 2, 2008 Call for Papers The International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR) aims to be the major forum for discussion and dissemination of new results concerning Web Reasoning and Rule Systems. RR 2008 builds on the success of The First International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems RR 2007, which received enthusiastic support from the Web Rules community. In 2008, RR will continue the excellence of the new series and aim to attract the best Web Reasoning and Rules researchers from all over the world. The reasoning landscape features theoretical areas such as knowledge representation (KR) and algorithms; design aspects of rule markup; design of ontology languages; engineering of engines, translators, and other tools; efficiency considerations and benchmarking; standardization efforts, such as the Rules Interchange Format activity at W3C; and applications. Of particular interest is also the use of rules to facilitate ontology modeling, and the relationships and possible interactions between rules and ontology languages like RDF and OWL, as well as ontology reasoning related to RDF and OWL, or querying with SPARQL. Suggested topics include the following, which is not to be considered as an exhaustive list: * Acquisition of rules and ontologies by knowledge extraction * Combining open and closed-world reasoning * Combining rules and ontologies * Design and analysis of reasoning languages * Efficiency and benchmarking * Implemented tools and systems * Standardization * Ontology usability * Ontology languages and their relationships * Querying and optimization * Rules and ontology management (such as inconsistency handling and evolution) * Reasoning with uncertainty and under inconsistency * Reasoning with constraints * Rule languages and systems * Rule interchange formats and Rule markup languages * Scalability vs. expressivity of reasoning on the web * Semantic Web Services modeling and applications * Web and Semantic Web applications [...] --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:13:46 +0100 From: Dominic Rathbone Subject: EUROCORES Call for themes 2008 - now open To whom it may concern: We are pleased to inform you that the ESF Call for EUROCORES themes 2008 is now open.

If I were designing such a thing from the ground up, I would treat the two versions as different products, in the same way that we write differently for conference presentations vs. publication. The paper journal would have longer versions of the essays, and the best possible reproductions of any illustrations (black-and-white is fine), printed on heavy stock--it would be, in short, the luxury edition of the piece. The text for the on-line version might be slimmed down a bit for reading on a monitor, with the full version of the text available as well. It would do the obvious things that being on-line permit--have many more (but necessarily lower quality) images, include animation, if appropriate, and link to everything imaginable. The text would, presumably, be edited to account for the additional illustrations. For maximum utility and persistence, one version would be deposited, finally, in an archive of articles with similar content, a la www.ArXiv.org. The job of the on-line version would be to develop, as richly as possible, the relevant network of information for the subject matter; the job of the print version (beyond some assurance of permanence) would be to point to that network, make sense of a piece of it, and to permit the romantic pleasure of off-line reading. I suspect, however, that such a thing might be more trouble than it's worth. Jeff Jeffrey E.

From our collective experience to date, what can be said about the wisdom of hybrid publication? Let's say, to focus discussion, that one has a print journal with a strictly limited number of pages and some constraints on publication of colour images. (This is not, I would think, an unusual set of constraints.) An obvious way around the limitations is to put the overflow and/or the colour plates online, with the URL given in the appropriate places in the journal. Obviously one needs to be able to guarantee, to the extent one can, that the URL will be valid for a long time to come. Apart from the infirmity of all such guarantees, are there any problems? If you were editor of a journal, would you do this, or would you practice and enforce restraint?

Rather than "hybrid" publication, by which I infer one work stradding two media, I would try to achieve companion publication of two works, each complete in itself, but enriched further by reference to its sister. This way, if either is or becomes inaccessible, it is not a debilitating loss to the other. More importantly, each can exercise freely the strength-in-restraint imposed in and by its own medium.

Hart Founder, 1971 Project Gutenberg Inventor of eBooks It's all over for those hefty paper encyclopedias. No less an authority than The New York Times tells us it is time to "Start Writing the Eulogies for Print Encyclopedias," that it is all over other than rolling out the last few editions of some last few hard-boiled Luddites who insist on paper encyclopedias, at a price that could easily buy you a decent used car. $1500 would buy you an encyclopedia when I was a kid, and that's not so much less than we paid for our first brand new $2100 car. Obviously this pricing has taken a beating to remain competitive with electronic resources, as I just clicked on an ad for a 2007 Britannica, there doesn't seem to be a 2008, and got three kinds labeled as follows: "Encyclopedia Britannica, 2007 Edition, Price: $1,295.00" "2007 Encyclopedia Britannica Set Package, Price $1,379.00" "2007 Encyclopedia Britannica Family Package, Price $1,959.00" I presume the extra money buys the optical disc versions and the Merriam-Websters reference set, as you move up. This from http://encyclopediacenter.com Also listed is: "Encyclopedia Americana, 2006 Edition [latest] Price: $879.00." "Compton's Encyclopedia by Britannica, 2008 Edition." "$739.00." "World Book Encyclopedia, 2008 Ed." "Classic Binding""$1,029.00." "World Book Encyclopedia, 2008" "Spinescape Binding" " $939.00." "Oxford English Dictionary" "Price: $949.00." "Websters Third New Intnatl Dictionary w/CDROM Price: $144.00." I saw no other references to CDROMs or DVDROMS other than in the pictures, which discs I mentioned above. No separate mentions. However, I have purchased and witnessed optical disc products of many of these items advertised. A Personal Interest I have dozens of paper encyclopedias, right here in my house, so this is a particularly personal article for me to write, even if I AM the inventor of the eBooks that sounded their death-knell. True, I would certainly give up nearly all of my paper books for eBooks containing the same information. After all, my house has literally sagged under the weight of all my books. However, I wonder if all of my paper encyclopedias should /EVER/ be expected to be available on optical discs, since most of them are still under copyright, and given the latest US Supreme court decision in "Eldred v Ashcroft" [once labeled "Hart v Reno" and yes, that would be myself], it would appear US copyright will be permanent from now on with nothing ever expiring, contrary to an opinion expressed by Larry Lessig, the lawyer in those cases. Even if Mr. Lessig gets is stated wish, most of my reference set will not enter the public domain in my expected lifetime, and I, and I will bet on it, expect Mr. Lessig is wrong. My prediction is that most of these encyclopedias I grew up with and even those my parents grew up with, will remain copyrighted, and thus out of reach of Internet providers that a public domain access renders possible. True, I have always predicted that paper books could not compete with eBooks simply on the basis of cost/benefit ratios; the cost of the shelving alone for my encyclopedias is as much as I spent to replace them with CD and DVD versions. Electronic encyclopedias allow you to have any page open next to any other pages, something that was difficult, if not impossible with their paper counterparts. Electronic encyclopedias allow for exact quotations in seconds-- as opposed to those interminable stacks of Oxford 3x5 index card boxes used by the average student before finishing high school. 1990 Was The Big Year For Paper Encyclopedias 18 years never seemed like much to encyclopedists, after all the Britannica refused to mention Einstein in its index for 18 years after his famous 1905 papers that turned the world upside down. However, 18 years is forever on the Internet, and Britannica did not have anyone on the Internet who could tell them just how big the changes were and how fast they were coming. Those little mammals scurrying beneath their feet would soon see themselves taking over the world, and it wouldn't take millions, and millions of years. . .it would only take two decades. 2008 marks two decades since the earliest attempts at newsletter email lists promoting Project Gutenberg eBooks. It seems so short in years not associated with the Internet, but the truth is that 99% of the people on the Internet today never, ever, had tried the Internet in 1988. People who started on the Internet in 1988 are considered oldest veterans by most, except for those of us who started in 1971, or even 1969, but that's another story. Most experts, including myself, agree that things peaked out for the paper encyclopedia business around 1990, after all you could buy the earlier electronic versions of Grolier, Encarta, and the others that followed suit, for less money, less storage hassles, and they were easy to use and to quote. Britannica sales dropped an average of 5% per year in the years, 18 of them, since 1990, leaving a paltry 10% remaining, even if, as was the case, that the various head of Britannica denied, and sometimes vociferously, that there was any such trouble. I happened to know a family that worked at Britannica for years, in the Chicago area, and heard about the secret Britannica CD's, even as far back as 1986, which were also vociferously denied. Personally, I think Britannica could have easily stolen the new show from Grolier's, Encarta, and all the others, simply if the new CD Britannica had been released then, and for the $99 their price people said would be the most effective. Instead Britannica turned even more Luddite than in the past in cases when they refused to mention Einstein, for years after he became front page news, or published wildly racist articles for the various topics they could be used for. Every year Britannica refused to release on CD was another year they lost 5% of the market, and trends like that, if going year after year for a decade, do not stop on a dime. It was already all over. All that was left was for Tyrannosaurus Rex to "bite the dust," it was already dying. Today People used to think encyclopedias and unabridged dictionaries, and the like were big. . .simply because they weighed enough to give you a hernia if you tried to pick them up incorrectly. They bragged about millions of words, tens of thousands of page numbers, and thousands of articles. Internet resources offer millions of articles, pages, whatever, including Britannica and all the others. I won't go into all the details of the largest Europeans making encyclopedias since 1808, but stopping in 2008, this is so much obviously a worldwide event, not just something happening to an assortment of English language reference books. The list of full-sized encyclopedia editions in 2010 is not the thing people celebrate. . .it might contain the last efforts of major publishers, or it might be empty of them already. Worries Anyone who has thought about this over the years is already now aware that whatever CD or DVD encyclopedia they buy today, even if it is only $99 or less, will probably not work on a computer they are using ten years from now. Most may not want such an old encyclopedia, but it might be the loss of being able to compare the present to the past that cost the most in terms of our intellectual input. The REASON I have dozens of encyclopedias is to compare what is in each decade to the rest of the decades. . .I have Britannica editions for each decade back over 100 years. People wonder why I can predict the future as well as I do, and the answer is because I have studied how the past moved into an array of futures from the 1800s to the 2000s. A hundred years from now you'll be VERY hard pressed to find an individual such as myself, who has compared articles from every single decade for over a century.

The Exploding Digital Universe Emerging Technologies for Learning Assessing Effectiveness of New Technologies Do Students Prefer Intensive Courses? Biological Research "YouTube" WikiEducator Recommended Reading ...................................................................... THE EXPLODING DIGITAL UNIVERSE "Contemplating the digital universe is a little like contemplating Avogadro's number [the number of carbon atoms in 12 grams: 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000]. It's big. Bigger than anything we can touch, feel, or see, and thus impossible to understand in context.... In 2007, the number of 'atoms' in the digital universe =97- the digital bits, or binary 1s and 0s created, captured, and replicated during the year =97- was less than a hundredth of Avogadro's number. But the number of digital 'atoms' in the digital universe is already bigger than the number of stars in the universe. And, because the digital universe is expanding by a factor of 10 every five years, in 15 years it will surpass Avogadro's number." -- "The Diverse and Exploding Digital Universe: An Updated Forecast of Worldwide Information Growth Through 2011" (IDC White Paper, by John F. Gantz, et al., March 2008) Updating last year's white paper forecast, this IDC report provides these numbers not only to astonish the reader, but also to underscore the future implications of living with, working with, and understanding vast amounts of data. While the main audience of the paper is information technologists in business and government, the educational field must also grapple with the issues related this data deluge: "information security, privacy protection, copyright protection, screening for obscenity, detecting fraud, reporting on and archiving the content, searching and retrieving, and disposal."

ASSESSING EFFECTIVENESS OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES "From the perspective of instructional designers and instructors, the decision to adopt a new technology can be exceedingly difficult. On the one hand, we all want to create the best possible learning environment for our students. On the other, there is the persistent fear that integrating a new technology will be onerous in terms of integration and only marginal in terms of impact, or worse, it may have a negative impact." In "How Do We Assess the Effectiveness of New Technologies and Learning Environments?" (SLOAN-C VIEW, vol. 7, issue 2, February 2008), Philip Ice suggests using the Community of Inquiry Framework (CoI): "a theoretical model that seeks to explain the online learning experience in terms of three overlapping presences: teaching, social and cognitive." He cites two studies that support the application of CoI for exploring the impact of new technologies in education. The article, including links to the cited studies, is available at http://www.aln.org/publications/view/v7n2/viewv7n2.htm (Please note: registration is required to view some articles; registration is free.)

Sloan-C is funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. ...................................................................... DO STUDENTS PREFER INTENSIVE COURSES? Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin conducted a study to determine which was preferred by students: "regular" courses (typical for traditional, residential institutions) or "intensive" courses -- "those taught on a tighter than normal schedule, with more class time each week, but fewer weeks" (typical of online courses taught at for-profit institutions). Students rated the intensive courses significantly higher, causing the researchers to suggest that residential colleges may want to consider offering more courses of this type. Results of the study were presented at the 2008 Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association. An article about the research (along with reader comments) is available: "Students Prefer Intensive Courses" INSIDE HIGHER ED March 28, 2008 http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2008/03/28/intensive ......................................................................

"Why Visual Aids Need to Be Less Visual" By Philip Yaffe UBIQUITY, vol. 9, issue 12, March 25, 2008 - March 31, 2008 http://www.acm.org/ubiquity/volume_9/v9i12_yaffe.html "I was recently invited to a presentation by an accomplished speaker. Needless to say, his speech was well structured, his manner relaxed and confident, his eye contact and body language excellent, etc. He normally spoke without slides, but this time he felt they would reinforce and illuminate his message. They didn't. In fact, they were more of a hindrance than a help." Marketing communication consultant Jaffe provides useful advice to anyone adding visual materials to their lectures, conference presentations, and other public speaking activities. ......................................................................

This implementation of Perseus under PhiloLogic has been worked on by Charles Cooney of the ARTFL project, and since the summer of 2007, by Richard Whaling, classicist and computer scientist all-in-one. Work was sponsored in part by the Perseus Project, for whose support we are very grateful. Besides the built-in possibilities in PhiloLogic of KWIC concordances, frequencies, and collocation data, among others, of special interest in this current release are: -navigation and search results better reflect expectations of classicists (standard citations, which are also browsable). -Note however that line numbers in search results for poetry refer to the closest preceding 'milestone' -not the exact line. -morphological/lexical information directly from a Chicago server, by selecting a word and hitting d on your keyboard. -limiting searches in Greek texts of tragedy and comedy to the text of individual characters. (Find me all instances where Ismene uses Greek _men_) It should be clear that there is both significant overlap with capabilities at Perseus, but also significant differences. This is made possible by the fact that the Perseus Project uses a Creative Commons License for its texts and thereby allows its significant investment in text encoding to be seen in places far beyond its own site, not restricted to its own set of reading and analysis tools.

It it true the reference book publishing community feels the demise of general purpose print encyclopedias may be upon us soon. Bowker's Annual contained a comment recently about how separately reporting on the sales of this category of book might drop below their threshold for separate inclusion in their annuals. However, the print encyclopedia isn't JUST about large general purpose encyclopedias, whose purchase these days is largely supported by libraries. It is also about small special-purpose encyclopedias, and those aren't dying off at all. There is no evidence that the special-purpose print encyclopedia as a format for information is going away. Just that the notion of a single large reference work on general knowledge may have crossed the line over cost of publication and the half-life of information. "The half-life of information" is a concept I think needs exploration. If indeed we are revising our knowledge of the world at an ever-increasing speed this would indeed change a lot of the printed reference book universe. However, world almanacs, published annually, are still thriving, with several being published each year whereas decades ago it was possible to refer only to "The World Almanac". So, perhaps what has changed most is our willingness to deal with hefty books? Could the sheer mechanics of looking up information be a factor destroying the print encyclopedia? Do reference books have too large a footprint in our homes? Has access to electronic Boolean search and instant display of information ruined our willingness to take a book down from the shelf, manually look through an index, turn pages to find a page number, and prop open the volume to read or copy information down? Could be. The special purpose encyclopedia, however, remains an exquisite joy in print. Perhaps the world has just grown so large that it has outgrown the idea of a general encyclopedia. Even Wikipedia seems to be spawning other Wikis for special subject domains. Robert A. Amsler Computational Lexicologist --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 07 Apr 2008 08:38:26 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: lessons of history for the encyclopedia? Undoubtedly someone has written a history of the encyclopedia from Diderot's great 18C work to the present day, if not from the Suda to now, or perhaps even from before that time. I'm wondering what such a history would teach us (who tend, smitten by our latest inventions, to preach The End of the World as It Is) about the relationship between attitudes to knowledge and its expression in comprehensive or cumulative form. I think we badly need an historian and sociologist of knowledge here, don't you? We might also learn from learned speculations on the commentary form, esp Don Fowler's "Criticism as commentary and commentary as criticism in the age of electronic media", in Glenn W Most, ed., Commentaries -- Kommentare (Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht, 1999), where the virtues of unrestricted accumulation are discussed.

Every project to digitize medieval primary sources, whether undertaken by major libraries or by individual scholars, must take into account issues of legality (can I post these digital images on the web?), equipment (can I use a flatbed scanner, or should I use a camera?), specifications (300 or 600 dpi? And what's dpi??) and metadata standards (what's metadata?). Our seminar, "Elements of Digitization Project Planning" will describe why a Digitization Project Plan is essential for every project, and will go over what each element of a project plan entails. We will discuss the nine elements of successful project planning, and show resources and references for developing digitization project plans. Experienced professionals, including librarians and image experts, will share their expertise and provide examples of previous successful project plans. We will also cover other important aspects of digitization technology, including the methodology and technology of digital preservation. Registration is $50 for members of the Medieval Academy of America and $65 for non-members. To register, contact Dot Porter at dporter@uky.edu.

It it true the reference book publishing community feels the demise of general purpose print encyclopedias may be upon us soon. Bowker's Annual contained a comment recently about how separately reporting on the sales of this category of book might drop below their threshold for separate inclusion in their annuals. However, the print encyclopedia isn't JUST about large general purpose encyclopedias, whose purchase these days is largely supported by libraries. It is also about small special-purpose encyclopedias, and those aren't dying off at all. There is no evidence that the special-purpose print encyclopedia as a format for information is going away. Just that the notion of a single large reference work on general knowledge may have crossed the line over cost of publication and the half-life of information. "The half-life of information" is a concept I think needs exploration. If indeed we are revising our knowledge of the world at an ever-increasing speed this would indeed change a lot of the printed reference book universe. However, world almanacs, published annually, are still thriving, with several being published each year whereas decades ago it was possible to refer only to "The World Almanac". So, perhaps what has changed most is our willingness to deal with hefty books? Could the sheer mechanics of looking up information be a factor destroying the print encyclopedia? Do reference books have too large a footprint in our homes? Has access to electronic Boolean search and instant display of information ruined our willingness to take a book down from the shelf, manually look through an index, turn pages to find a page number, and prop open the volume to read or copy information down? Could be. The special purpose encyclopedia, however, remains an exquisite joy in print. Perhaps the world has just grown so large that it has outgrown the idea of a general encyclopedia. Even Wikipedia seems to be spawning other Wikis for special subject domains. Robert A. Amsler Computational Lexicologist --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 07 Apr 2008 08:38:26 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: lessons of history for the encyclopedia? Undoubtedly someone has written a history of the encyclopedia from Diderot's great 18C work to the present day, if not from the Suda to now, or perhaps even from before that time. I'm wondering what such a history would teach us (who tend, smitten by our latest inventions, to preach The End of the World as It Is) about the relationship between attitudes to knowledge and its expression in comprehensive or cumulative form. I think we badly need an historian and sociologist of knowledge here, don't you? We might also learn from learned speculations on the commentary form, esp Don Fowler's "Criticism as commentary and commentary as criticism in the age of electronic media", in Glenn W Most, ed., Commentaries -- Kommentare (Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht, 1999), where the virtues of unrestricted accumulation are discussed.

COSMOLOGICAL SIMULATION Detailed computer simulations are a powerful tool to study one of the biggest challenges for theoretical cosmology: How did the galaxies we see in the universe today form out of the small fluctuations in matter density that were present in the primordial universe? Having carried out the largest cosmological simulations ever, scientists of astrophysics are able to follow the hierarchical galaxy formation process with unprecedented accuracy and detail, allowing new theoretical insights into dark matter dynamics, and novel tests of the cold dark matter theory for galaxy formation. Simulations in this area, at present can be categorized under: The Millenium Simulation, Galaxy Formations Simulation, First Objects, Mock Catalogues, Dark Matter Halos, Intergalactic Medium, Semi-Analytical Modelling and Hubble Volume Simulation, Star Formation etc... WORKSHOP SIMULATION WITH PETRI NETS Petri nets were introduced by C.A. Petri as a "finitary combinatorial model of event topology which, is in close correspondence with the models of modern physics, is capable of describing total information flow, and has proven superior to some conventional models both in construction and in analysis of systems of complex organization". Although many other models of concurrent and distributed systems have been developed, Petri nets are still considered "a central model for concurrent systems with respect to both the theory and the applications" due to the natural way they allow to represent reasoning on concurrent active objects which share resources and their changing states. The huge amount of work invested in making the modelling power of Petri nets formalism more and more intensive, led to a continuous evolution of this area, such that "Petri nets" is currently a generic name for a whole class of models divided into three main layers (ranging from Elementary Net Systems and Place/Transition nets to traditional High Level nets and High Level nets with abstract data types). For the performance evaluation of the modelled system, time execution and/or stochastic processes have also been considered, leading to important extensions to the above general Petri nets classification: Timed and Stochastic Petri nets. Petri nets are widely considered as an operational (rather than denotational) formalism for Discrete Event Systems. They have proven to be useful in solving difficult discrete-event problems in a variety of application domains such as in software engineering, operating systems, databases, communication and co-operation protocols in distributed systems, manufacturing systems, defence command and control, business processes and telecommunications, etc. As investigations in this area show, Petri nets also cover a large number of currently active research areas. Despite the great amount of work and achievements, much effort is still to be done to meet the applications requirements. This workshop is intended to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of original ideas, recent results and achievements by researchers, students and system developers on issues and challenges related to the above domain. We invite to submit original contributions addressing, but not limited to one of the following topics: -- Simulation using Petri Net Systems, -- Place/Transition nets, -- High-level Petri nets, -- Timed and Stochastic Petri nets, -- Temporal and real-time logics with respect to Petri nets, -- Analysis methods of High Level nets and their time extensions, -- Modular Petri nets, -- Object-oriented Petri nets (OOPNs), -- Computer tools based on OOPNs, -- Applications of OOPNs.

This is a matter of increasing concern. How should we understand, control or avoid such potential crisis on a local/global scale, where local interactions play a major role? Simulations are powerful tools in a context where risk is the product of probability of accident by the losses per accident. This risk can be major when it is collective, the occuring frequency is low, the impacts on humans or environment are very important. In this kind of risk, it is necessary to engage exceptional resources to prevent, to forsee and to help. This aspect is very important, but some crises have demonstrated that the problems can be in upstream and it is also necessary to consider the detection, the defects diagnosis and the supervision of risk systems. We solicit contributions on (not exhaustive): * Modeling risk (including technical, environmental and human factors) to prevent and to manage * Tools of analysis, detection and early diagnosis * Population flow before, during and after the crisis * Information flow for the emergency COMPLEX SYSTEMS: HISTORICAL & DYNAMICAL POINT OF VIEW Complex Systems is a contemporary topics and it is interesting to take a sight on it through both Historical and Dynamical point of view. So this session aims to propose a study of Complex Systems dealing with various domains such as Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Ecology... For example, Historical and Dynamical aspects of Van der Pol circuit or Predator-prey model should be highlighted through an overview of all studies already done and may be followed by a presentation of new ideas or concepts on the subject. EMOTIONAL DIMENSIONS OF COGNITION AND THEIR MODELLING IN PROBLEM-SOLVING, LEARNING AND DECISION-MAKING Cognition is studied from various approaches, both from a computable vision allowing to understand, reproduce the complexity of human brain functioning and from the human understanding vision linking with memory, behavior and feelings. Emotional dimensions have been studied in this context since only few decades because of the complexity to express and to define them and to explain their interaction with cognition, including problem-solving, learning and decision-making. In this session, we expect some contributions from computer sciences researchers for the modeling contribution and from psychologist researchers for the lightening of these complex interactions, including their fundamental knowledge on human behavior. The contribution from neuro-psychologist researchers will allow to root the cognitive and behavioral description on embodied knowledge, allowing to find relevant modeling dimensions. ARTIFICIAL SOCIETY This session focuses on the two complementary aspects: (1) modelling the society and its spatial systems according to their complexity and (2) to use the society as model for distributed artificial agents which contribute to solve problems using their social behaviour. The mixing of contribution from human sciences researchers and from computer sciences researchers are welcome and expected. The contributions on these topics can be based on swarm intelligence, social insect-based algorithms, cultural algorithms, cellular automata modelling. Community detection over graphs or over geographical information systems is also relevant contributions for this session. The understanding of the dynamical complex development of the human and animal society is one of the goals of innovative research for advancing geographical studies based on complexity approaches and for distributed artificial intelligence modelling. SIMULATION, MODELLING AND DATA MANAGEMENT IN REAL-TIME SYSTEMS (SMDM-RTS'2008) The SMDM-RTS'2008 session organized by the LITIS laboratory deals with all aspects of the simulation, Modelling and data management in real-time systems, including the management of quality of service. The aim of the session is to present the researches already done and current researches in this area. This will be done throughout invited papers on one hand, and on the presentations of research papers related to simulation and Modelling in systems combining both database systems aspects and real-time systems aspects. The relationships between these systems and their applications to many areas will be pointed out. The session deals also with papers related to mobility and real-time in geographic information systems, to all aspects of sensor databases, to applying real-time and mobility in intelligent/vehicles and transport systems, in stock trading, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Feedback Control Scheduling Architecture : simulation and Modelling * Modelling of real-time data and real-time transactions * Real-Time Applications for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) * Simulation and/or Modelling of Real-Time Multimedia Systems, Quality of Service management * Distributed Simulations for Real-Time Systems and Real-Time Databases * Management of real-time data * Sensor databases * Formal or unformal specifications of real-time database systems * Real-Time Geographic Systems * Real-time vision and perception in ITS * Modelling of Real-Time Component based Systems and Real-Time Design Pattern Systems We also encourage authors to present novel ideas, critique of existing work, and application examples, which demonstrate how real-time DBMSs technology could be effectively deployed and might be be better than existing systems.

By its very nature, noisy text warrants moving beyond traditional text analytics techniques. Noise introduces challenges that need special handling, either through new methods or improved versions of existing ones. After the highly successfull AND 2007 that was part of IJCAI 07, in this second edition that is part of SIGIR 08, we hope to add the Information Retrieval communities perspective to this topic. We invite you to submit your own unique perspective on this important topic. We are pleased to note that selected papers from the first AND workshop -- held in January 2007 at the IJCAI conference in Hyderabad, India -- appeared in a special issue of the International Journal of Document Analysis and Recognition published by Springer less than a year after the workshop date. We intend to continue this tradition by arranging a journal special issue for papers from this latest AND workshop. Topics of Interest (not limited to): *Information Retrieval and Information Extraction on noisy texts *IR-related tasks (classification, clustering, genre recognition, document summarization, keyword search,=85) on nnoisy texts *Formal models for noise, characterization and classification of noise *Treatment of noisy data in special application fields ---Historical Texts ---Blogs ---Chat logs/SMS ---Social Network Analysis ---Patent Search ---Optical Character Recognition ---Automated Speech Recognition *Data sets, benchmarks and evaluation techniques for analysis of noisy texts Submission Format: We invite papers up to 8 pages in length in the=20 style specified at http://and2008workshop.googlepages.com/submission This is the same as the SIGIR format. There will also be a Best Student Paper Award. Papers with a student as the primary author/presenter will be eligible for this award. Important Dates: Paper Submission: May 16, 2008 Notification of Acceptance: Jun 6, 2008 Camera-Ready papers due: Jun 20, 2008 Accepted papers will be selected for Oral or Poster presentation at the workshop. All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Limited financial support will be available for student authors. Organizing Committee Daniel Lopresti, Lehigh U.

On the Materiality, Perceptibilty and Operativity of Writing” at Freie Universitaet Berlin, funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), is offering from 1st October 2008 12 Ph.D studentships (full-time) and 3 postdoctoral fellowships for a duration of 2 years (the Ph.D studentships are extendable for another year). Closing date for applications: 26th April 2008. The research training group is dedicated to investigating script/writing as a key subject in the humanities. Its aim is to contribute to a change of perspective from a phonographic, language-centred concept of writing to an iconographic, language-neutral concept of writing. The founding hypothesis is that both alphabetic and non-alphabetic scripts are hybrid forms that combine discursive and iconic components and that writing is therefore more than simply a medium used to record spoken language. The research training group investigates systematically and/or historically the creative and explorative functions of notation in everyday, scientific and artistic contexts. Academic disciplines from throughout the humanities are involved as well as psychology and computer studies. More detailed information on the research and study programme and on conditions for application can be found at: www.fu-berlin.de/schriftbildlichkeit Applications are to be sent by 26th April 2008 to: Prof. Dr. Sybille Krämer Freie Universität Berlin Institut für Philosophie Habelschwerdter Allee 30 D - 14195 Berlin Deutschland __________________________________________________________ David Lauer | Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter Institut für Philosophie | Freie Universität Berlin Habelschwerdter Allee 30 | 14195 Berlin Fon 030.838-53691 | Fax 030.838-56430 | dlauer@zedat.fu-berlin.de http://personal.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/dlauer Return-Path: Received: from fep15.clear.net.nz (fep15 [192.168.16.116]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JZ300C0SJV8B7F0@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz;

These projects often need to be funded from outside sources, at least in the early stages, as it is difficult to create new funding streams for new initiatives. This workshop will address some of the key issues in planning and costing digital projects, identifying funders, writing grant proposals, and will discuss some of the major sources of funding available to not-for-profit organisations. Date: Wednesday 30th April 2008 Course: Sustaining digital projects - funding the future The long-term sustainability of digital resources is a problem in a world where projects are conceived of as short-term activities and where funders have limited resources to commit beyond initial development phases. Regular updating and upgrading is inevitable, and hardware and software must be replaced regularly if a resource is to grow and thrive. This course will identify the key issues in developing a sustainability plan including what to sustain (resource, people and/or activity), various revenue models and finding your market niche for future funding.

Proposals may be for individual paper presentations, panel sessions or poster sessions (including tool demonstrations). This year's meeting will feature three days of keynote lectures, parallel sessions, the annual TEI business meeting, a poster session/tools demonstration and slam, as well as a full meeting day (8 November) for TEI Special Interest Groups (SIGs). We are especially pleased to announce keynote talks by Vanda Broughton (University College London), Dino Buzzetti (University of Bologna), and Charlotte Roueché (King's College London). Please join us in participating in this 21st anniversary meeting of the TEI. ** Submission Topics ** Topics might include but are not restricted to: - TEI-based projects involving cultural heritage - Using TEI to create: - scholarly editions - hybrid publications (digital and print) - Tools that use TEI - TEI used in conjunction with: - different technologies - other standards - TEI as: - metadata standard - interchange format: sharing, mapping and migrating data - TEI and its contribution to digital scholarship - TEI and markup theory In addition, we are seeking P5 micropaper proposals for 5 minute presentations on the topic "My favourite (or least favourite) P5 feature, chapter, or addition". ** Submission Types ** Individual paper presentations will be allocated 30 minutes: 20 minutes for delivery, and 10 minutes for questions & answers. 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; - Working paper session: 3-6 papers circulated and read by the audience in advance, so the entire session is dedicated to discussion of and questions & answers about, the papers rather than presenting the papers; - Round table discussion: 3-6 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 will have the opportunity to participate in a slam immediately preceding the poster session. P5 micropapers will be allocated 5 minutes. For submission procedures, please see <http://www.cch.kcl.ac.uk/tei2008/cfp/index.html> All proposals should be submitted at http://www.tei-c.org/conftool/ by 30 April 2008.

The workshop will be hosted by the Employers' Association (Unione Industriale di Torino) in beautiful Turin, Piedmont, ITALY - from June 5-6, 2008. Its organization is due to the joint efforts of the Laboratory for Applied Ontology (ISTC-CNR, Trento), and of the Department of Computer Science (University of Turin). FOMI is an international forum where academic researchers and industrial practitioners meet to analyze and discuss issues related to methods, theories, tools and applications based on formal ontologies. New tools and applications have been and are being developed in diverse application fields, ranging from business to medicine, from engineering to finance, from law to electronics. Such applications benefit from both the theoretical results and the practical experience of previous work. Formal ontologies can then play a key role in describing in a common and understandable way the logical and practical features of the application domain. The FOMI 08 Workshop aims to advance in this direction by bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in ontology application, as witnessed by our diversified list of speakers and topics. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Keynote Speakers H.

We also invite you to contribute your expertise and insight to day three of vizNET 2008 (9 May) in which we explore and identify a series of Grand Challenges as perceived by the UK Visualization Community: http://www.viznet.ac.uk/viznet2008/grandchallenges Early registration for this event closes next Friday 18 April: £40 / £15 Students Video/Poster submission closes in two weeks on Friday 25th April 2008. Register now for vizNET 2008: The 2nd Interdisciplinary Conference on Intersections of Visualization Practices and Techniques 7th-9th May, Loughborough University A JISC funded joint event hosted by vizNET and 3DVisA. http://www.viznet.ac.uk/viznet2008/ --------------------------------- vizNET 2008: Call for video http://www.viznet.ac.uk/viznet2008/callforvideo vizNET 2008 encourages attendees to submit a short video clip for inclusion in one of the early presentation sessions. We are very keen for attendees to have the opportunity to fully participate during the event. Whilst some people may prefer to show off some of their work we also recognise that some attendees may be more interested in highlighting a problem they are trying to solve and which they would like to share with others. For instance you may have a particularly challenging data set with no immediately obvious means of teasing out important features of the underlying data set properties. By bringing examples of such challenges to vizNET 2008 it is highly likely that other people attending the vizNET event will be able to suggest possible ways of solving the problems. A short video can illustrate the sort of visualization work people are engaged with and help explain the key points much better than a static poster. vizNET 2008 is very much concerned with broadening out and increasing opportunities for networking. --------------------------------- vizNET 2007: Background information is available at http://www.viznet.ac.uk/viznet2007/ Intersections Background information is available at http://www.viznet.ac.uk/intersections/ --------------------------------- Return-Path: Received: from fep16.clear.net.nz (fep16 [192.168.16.117]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JZB001UJ2DXZZ30@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:03:36 +1200 (NZST) Received: from mxin2-orange.clear.net.nz (lb2-srcnat.clear.net.nz [203.97.32.237]) by mx8.clear.net.nz (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JZB00JYS2DXN940@mx8.clear.net.nz> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:03:34 +1200 (NZST) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Received: from postoffice03.princeton.edu (HELO Princeton.EDU) ([128.112.131.174]) by mxin2-orange.clear.net.nz with ESMTP; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:03:33 +1200 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Received: from smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.65]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m3E82aRe013572; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 04:02:36 -0400 (EDT) Received: from lists.Princeton.EDU (listsv440.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.10]) by smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m3E44xR0005521; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 04:01:39 -0400 (EDT) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.0.6002.18463 Received: by LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 15.0) with spool id 19549175 for humanist@LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 03:54:15 -0400 Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice04.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.112]) by lists.Princeton.EDU (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m3E7j4ZL024279 for ; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 03:45:04 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice04.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.112]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m3E7j41H012468 for ; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 03:45:04 -0400 (EDT) Received: from emfw4.Princeton.EDU (emfw4.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.23]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m3E7j1xn012466 for ; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 03:45:03 -0400 (EDT) Received: from outbound.kcl.ac.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emfw4.Princeton.EDU (Spam Firewall) with ESMTP id 9CA8D5EBF6A for ; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 03:45:01 -0400 (EDT) Received: from outbound.kcl.ac.uk (outbound.kcl.ac.uk [137.73.2.214]) by emfw4.Princeton.EDU with ESMTP id qtVnVc7Z0EIE1TYc for ; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 03:45:01 -0400 (EDT) Received: from relay2.kcl.ac.uk ([137.73.2.210] helo=hazel) by outbound.kcl.ac.uk outbound with esmtp (TLSv1:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:256) id 1JlJNH-0001df-40 for humanist@princeton.edu; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:45:11 +0100 Received: from wolf.mccarty.me.uk ([81.2.73.74] helo=WOLF.kcl.ac.uk) by hazel smtp with esmtp (TLSv1:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:256) id 1JlJN2-0001JV-OL for humanist@princeton.edu; Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:44:57 +0100 Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:47:55 +0100 From: "Humanist Discussion Group \(by way of Willard McCarty \)" Subject: 21.635 Digital Document Quarterly 7(1) Sender: "Humanist Discussion Group" Approved-by: willard@LISTS.VILLAGE.VIRGINIA.EDU X-Envelope-To: ccreegan@clear.net.nz To: X-To: Humanist Discussion Group Reply-To: "Humanist Discussion Group \(by way of Willard McCarty \)" Message-ID: <20080414074501.9CA8D5EBF6A@emfw4.Princeton.EDU> MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 7.1.0.9 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="us-ascii" Precedence: list X-ASG-Debug-ID: 1208159101-264600390000-M4gYpI X-Barracuda-URL: http://128.112.131.23:8000/cgi-bin/mark.cgi X-ASG-Orig-Subj: 21.635 Digital Document Quarterly 7(1) X-KCLSpamScore: 0 X-KCLRealSpamScore: 0.0 X-KCLZStatus: 0 X-KCLSpamReport: X-KCL-MailScanner: Found to be clean X-MailScanner-From: willard.mccarty@kcl.ac.uk X-Barracuda-Connect: outbound.kcl.ac.uk[137.73.2.214] X-Barracuda-Start-Time: 1208159101 X-Barracuda-Virus-Scanned: by Barracuda Spam Firewall at Princeton.EDU X-Proofpoint-Virus-Version: vendor=nai engine=5.2.00 definitions=5272 signatures=387282 X-Proofpoint-Spam-Details: rule=quarantine_notspam policy=quarantine score=0 spamscore=0 ipscore=0 phishscore=0 bulkscore=5 adultscore=0 classifier=spam adjust=0 reason=mlx engine=3.1.0-0804050000 definitions=main-0804140007 X-Spam-KB: http://www.Princeton.EDU/spam List-Owner: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: List-Help: , Original-recipient: rfc822;ccreegan@clear.net.nz X-EsetId: E082DD219BF97E34BAC782 X-EsetScannerBuild: 11806 Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 21, No. 635.

Gladney" Subject: Digital Document Quarterly 7(1) is available 16 The Digital Document Quarterly newsletter volume 7 number 1 is available at . Its table of contents is available at . As has become a recurring pattern, the top level topics of this DDQ number include Digital Preservation, Epistemology, News, Practical Matters, and Price Watch. A less usual column is Open Access, identifying the giant book digitization initiatives announced recently. The character of DDQ is evolving to include a far greater ratio of links to text than when the newsletter began 6 years ago. I hope that readers will find this useful. One squib, A Software Engineering Contribution, engendered a surprising amount of criticism and debate among some of the colleagues who preview each DDQ number. I wonder whether readers will find it as controversial as these colleagues did, and invite comment on this (as well as anything else in DDQ). Cheerio, Henry H.M.

Dear Colleagues, Willard posted this while I was travelling. The Bamboo Project was funded by Mellon last month as an 18-month planning grant. Its first activity will be a series of three informational workshops, to be held at Berkeley (April 28-30), Chicago (May 15-17), and Paris (June 9-11) (there may be a 4th, on the East Coast, later in the summer). We are seeking initial participation from a broad range of institutions, from 4-year colleges to museums, libraries, disciplinaray organizations, and research universities, indeed any institution that has faculty involved in research in the arts, humanities, and qualitative social sciences. For more details, see http://projectbamboo.org/ (where, among other things, you will see how it got its name.) After the first workshops a series of four more will be held to develop a formal project proposal for submission to Mellon, with participation in the later workshops contingent upon participation in the former. The hope is that by the end of this process we shall have a consortium of five to ten institutions that are willing to commit significant resources and personnel to the project. If your institution might be interested in participating in one of the initial workshops, please contact me off-line (cfaulhab@library.berkeley.edu) for more information. I have been involved with Bamboo since the first discussions with the Mellon Foundation over a year ago; I think that I can address some of the issues Willard raises. First, some background. Mellon is the largest funder of the humanities in the U.S., with grants of some $250 million annually, more than the National Endowment of the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts combined. In recent times, a very large portion of the proposals Mellon receives have involved some sort of digital content, combined with a project to develop software to manage that content. They saw a good deal of re-inventing the wheel. And they also saw that the software was rarely replicated elsewhere. Not Invented Here. When Mellon program officer Chris Mackie visited Berkeley last year, he had a very specific project in mind. Mellon would invest a good deal of money to build a cyberinfrastructure for the humanities (I won't go into details) and in turn would seek the support of institutions in this country and abroad to develop software tools that would be customized for that infrastructure. Individuals and institutions with project proposals would be encouraged to use those existing tools rather than writing new ones. More money for content; less for software; everybody wins. Mackie was traveling around the country to see if half-a-dozen lead institutions might agree to form a coalition of the willing to take this concept and develop it into a detailed proposal. So far so good. We have all been there before. TEI, anyone? What was different was Mellon's insistence that this involve not just the usual suspects. Institutions who wanted to play would have to get buy-in from humanities faculty, CS faculty, the local IT organization, and the campus administration. The hope was and is that the humanists who have research problems they want to solve, CS faculty who have tools to solve those problems, and the IT organization that supports them both could work together to build sustainable software that would be available not only at the institution that created it but also at any other institution. In the case of Berkeley, for example, the campus committee included the Dean of Humanities, the Director of the Townsend Center for the Humanities, the Director of The Bancroft Library (me), the Chair of Computer Science, and the campus CIO. Over the last year the proposal has morphed from this initial vision to something much more ambitious, a $1.5 million 18-month planning grant (the largest that Mellon has ever made) to examine the state of research in the arts, humanities, and qualitative social sciences vis-a-vis digital content, define communities of practice, and try to find commonalities among them that would facilitate the task of creating software applications that can be generalized to users around the world. This is not technology in the service of the humanities, with the former as handmaiden to the latter. The Chair of CS at Berkeley is at least as interested in using humanities problems as a testbed for CS research. The approach is, however, very much service oriented. In fact, the current buzzword is "Service Oriented Architecture," and the analogy frequently used is that of the driver of a car who wants to get from Point A to Point B without worrying whether the engine is 4 cylinders or 6 cylinders. The vast majority of drivers, at least in California, are not much interested in being automative engineers or even automobile mechanics. They just want to get from here to there. I believe that the vast majority of humanities scholars share the same attitude, at least to judge by the numbers of members in MLA and MHRA, as compared to ACH and ALLC. I share that attitude, I am afraid. I have been trying to use information technology to study medieval Spanish manuscripts for more than thirty years; I am still more interested in the manuscripts than in the technology or in the intersection of the two. Will this effort succeed? Ask me five years from now. I do know that a good deal of thought and effort has gone into Bamboo so far. I very much hope that the readers of Humanist can discuss this with the relevant folks on their own campuses and send representatives to these initial workshops. You all have much to contribute.

The TEI Guidelines are used to encode many diverse, graphically rich documents, including illuminated manuscripts, laboratory notebooks, art books, children's illustrated books, comics and graphic novels, and so on. These types of graphically rich documents present special concerns, considerations, and challenges, both conceptually at the encoding level and technically at the transformation, presentation, and publishing layers of digital document development. The purpose of this SIG will be to discuss, develop, and document various strategies and best practices for implementing the digital facsimile structures available in TEI P5, especially as relates tovgraphically rich texts, and for developing methods to extend the TEI when existing structures are not suitable. We are organizing a session of graphics-focused papers for the member's meeting as well. If you would like to participate, please contact Dot Porter by April 25. Details about the member's meeting at http://www.cch.kcl.ac.uk/cocoon/tei2008/index.html. Discussions leading up to the meeting in November will be held on the SIG listserv.

Registration for all workshops is managed through the conference registration form, available on the conference Web site: http://www.mith2.umd.edu/diaspora2008/ The workshops are as follows: Workshop 1: Hands-on Introduction to Textual Encoding and the TEI The goal of the workshop is to provide faculty and students in the humanities and other fields with an opportunity to examine the significance of text encoding as a scholarly practice, through a combination of discussion and practical experimentation with the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). The workshop is aimed at faculty and students who have little or no technical experience but are interested in digital textuality or who have or want to become involved with a digital project. Dr. Julia Flanders is Director of Brown University Women Writers Project; Associate Director of Brown Scholarly Technology Group; Editor-in-chief of Digital Humanities Quarterly; and Vice-chair of the TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) Consortium. Syd Bauman is Senior Programmer/Analyst at the Brown University Women Writers Project and the North American Editor of the TEI Guidelines. The bulk of funding for this Seminar is provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, which gave the Brown University Women Writers Project a grant to support a series of such seminars around the nation. * Julia Flanders (Brown University Women Writers Project) * Syd Bauman (Brown University Women Writers Project) Location: McKeldin Library, Room 6107 Date/Time: This is a multi-day workshop. Wed., April 30 9-5; Thurs., May 1 9-5; Fri., May 2 9-1130 Workshop 2: Navigating Digital Resources in African American/African Diaspora Studies In this workshop, University of Maryland librarians will explore digital resources in African American/African Diaspora studies, using a web guide created for the conference. The workshop will seek to inform participants of the range of electronic resources available for identifying books, articles, non-print media, and web projects in the multidisciplinary area of African American/African Diaspora studies. The presenters will also highlight digital projects related to the following specific subjects, chosen for illustrative purposes: film studies, the Harlem Renaissance, slavery, and women writers of the African Diaspora. Through this collection of resources, participants will experience how scholars have made use of technology and multi-media to bring African American/African Diaspora studies alive in new and innovative ways. The workshop will include a hands-on component for self-directed research with the librarians available for questions and assistance. * Presenters: Tim Hackman, Patricia Herron, Carleton Jackson, Eric Lindquist * Enrollment cap: 60 participants (pre-registration required) Location: McKeldin Library, Room 6107 Date/Time: May 2, 2008, 9 am - 12 Noon Workshop 3: Hands-on Introduction to Second Life Web 2.0 initiatives have taken the idea of social networking into the digital age with programs like MySpace, FaceBook, Blogs and streaming multimedia sites. This workshop will demonstrate how virtual environments can be used to study and experience the humanities in ways never before possible by exploring the evolving nature of computer-mediated social networking through Second Life and, more specifically, through the most recent iteration of Virtual Harlem project that includes Harlem's sister neighborhood during the Jazz Age, Montmartre in Paris. You will have an opportunity to not only experience the work in which Dr. Carter has been involved over the last several years but also learn how to develop the skills that you will need to create projects in Second Life. * Presenter: Bryan Carter (University of Central Missouri, developer of Virtual Harlem) * Enrollment cap: 15 participants (pre-registration required) Location: McKeldin Library, MITH, Room B 1010A Date/Time: May 2, 2008, 9 am - 12 Noon -- Matthew Kirschenbaum Associate Professor of English Associate Director, Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) University of Maryland 301-405-8505 or 301-314-7111 (fax) http://www.mith.umd.edu/ http://www.otal.umd.edu/~mgk/ http://mechanisms-book.blogspot.com/ --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:46:24 +0100 From: Dot Porter Subject: Digitization Workshop at Kalamazoo: second announcement Digitization of Primary Materials for Medievalists: A Workshop Part of the International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, Michigan Sponsored by the Medieval Academy of America's Committee on Electronic Resources Hosted by the Western Michigan University Libraries' Digitization Center Friday, May 9, 1:30-5:00 The process of digitization project planning is essential for endeavors large and small. Every project to digitize medieval primary sources, whether undertaken by major libraries or by individual scholars, must take into account issues of legality (can I post these digital images on the web?), equipment (can I use a flatbed scanner, or should I use a camera?), specifications (300 or 600 dpi? And what's dpi??) and metadata standards (what's metadata?). Our seminar, "Elements of Digitization Project Planning" will describe why a Digitization Project Plan is essential for every project, and will go over what each element of a project plan entails. We will discuss the nine elements of successful project planning, and show resources and references for developing digitization project plans. Experienced professionals, including librarians and image experts, will share their expertise and provide examples of previous successful project plans. We will also cover other important aspects of digitization technology, including the methodology and technology of digital preservation. Registration is $50 for members of the Medieval Academy of America and $65 for non-members. To register, contact Dot Porter at dporter@uky.edu. Space is limited to 35. -- *************************************** Dot Porter, University of Kentucky ##### Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities http://www.rch.uky.edu Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments http://www.vis.uky.edu dporter@uky.edu 859-257-1257 x.82115 *************************************** Return-Path: Received: from fep13.clear.net.nz (fep13 [192.168.16.114]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JZC00907R05PUG0@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:52:56 +1200 (NZST) Received: from mxin2-orange.clear.net.nz (lb2-srcnat.clear.net.nz [203.97.32.237]) by mx5.clear.net.nz (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JZC009WWR04D050@mx5.clear.net.nz> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:52:53 +1200 (NZST) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Received: from postoffice03.princeton.edu (HELO Princeton.EDU) ([128.112.131.174]) by mxin2-orange.clear.net.nz with ESMTP; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:52:52 +1200 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Received: from smtpserver2.Princeton.EDU (smtpserver2.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.148]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m3F5peq0008298; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:51:40 -0400 (EDT) Received: from lists.Princeton.EDU (listsv440.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.10]) by smtpserver2.Princeton.EDU (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m3F4VGEO015323; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:51:23 -0400 (EDT) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.0.6002.18463 Received: by LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 15.0) with spool id 19565913 for humanist@LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:50:42 -0400 Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice06.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.8]) by lists.Princeton.EDU (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m3F5mtu8000619 for ; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:48:55 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice06.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.8]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m3F5mtKW028467 for ; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:48:55 -0400 (EDT) Received: from emfw2.Princeton.EDU (emfw2.Princeton.EDU [128.112.128.96]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m3F5msvn028464 for ; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:48:54 -0400 (EDT) Received: from outbound.kcl.ac.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emfw2.Princeton.EDU (Spam Firewall) with ESMTP id BD8F914FDEDD for ; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:48:53 -0400 (EDT) Received: from outbound.kcl.ac.uk (outbound.kcl.ac.uk [137.73.2.214]) by emfw2.Princeton.EDU with ESMTP id lwFfyARmLxzLHASJ for ; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:48:53 -0400 (EDT) Received: from relay2.kcl.ac.uk ([137.73.2.210] helo=hazel) by outbound.kcl.ac.uk outbound with esmtp (TLSv1:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:256) id 1Jle25-0006kA-87 for humanist@princeton.edu; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:48:41 +0100 Received: from wolf.mccarty.me.uk ([81.2.73.74] helo=WOLF.kcl.ac.uk) by hazel smtp with esmtp (TLSv1:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:256) id 1Jle1r-0006VN-LD for humanist@princeton.edu; Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:48:28 +0100 Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:51:25 +0100 From: "Humanist Discussion Group \(by way of Willard McCarty \)" Subject: 21.638 end of print encyclopedias Sender: "Humanist Discussion Group" Approved-by: willard@LISTS.VILLAGE.VIRGINIA.EDU X-Envelope-To: ccreegan@clear.net.nz To: X-To: Humanist Discussion Group Reply-To: "Humanist Discussion Group \(by way of Willard McCarty \)" Message-ID: <20080415054853.BD8F914FDEDD@emfw2.Princeton.EDU> MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 7.1.0.9 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="us-ascii" Precedence: list X-ASG-Debug-ID: 1208238533-34e401810000-M4gYpI X-Barracuda-URL: http://128.112.128.96:8000/cgi-bin/mark.cgi X-ASG-Orig-Subj: 21.638 end of print encyclopedias X-KCLSpamScore: 0 X-KCLRealSpamScore: 0.0 X-KCLZStatus: 0 X-KCLSpamReport: X-KCL-MailScanner: Found to be clean X-MailScanner-From: willard.mccarty@kcl.ac.uk X-Barracuda-Connect: outbound.kcl.ac.uk[137.73.2.214] X-Barracuda-Start-Time: 1208238533 X-Barracuda-Virus-Scanned: by Barracuda Spam Firewall at Princeton.EDU X-Proofpoint-Virus-Version: vendor=nai engine=5.2.00 definitions=5273 signatures=387400 X-Proofpoint-Spam-Details: rule=quarantine_notspam policy=quarantine score=0 spamscore=0 ipscore=0 phishscore=0 bulkscore=0 adultscore=0 classifier=spam adjust=0 reason=mlx engine=3.1.0-0804050000 definitions=main-0804140197 X-Spam-KB: http://www.Princeton.EDU/spam List-Owner: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: List-Help: , Original-recipient: rfc822;ccreegan@clear.net.nz X-EsetId: E082DD219BF97E34BAC782 X-EsetScannerBuild: 11806 Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 21, No. 638.

Anyone who would compare one of these to The Britannicas may as well compare a one volume dictionary to the OED, just not a valid comparison whatsoever. To mention these, and I have nothing against them, I own any number of them, and find them quite useful, in the same ways as the full-sized, full-spectrum encylopedias I mentioned in my article, is merely at attempt to muddy the waters, and is not acceptable in the same breath. This "demise" is not coming upon us "soon," it is here. We are right smack int he middle of it. Anyone who would deny this should not be taken seriously any more than someone who says it isn't flooding just because an example of dry land still exists, or that a recession is not coming just because all economists don't agree on it. One will say stocks will be up 1,000 point in four years and one will say stocks will be down 1,000 points. At least one of them will look pretty silly, if not both. If it has become obvious to Britannica, Americana, etc. that the trends of the previous history of publication are over-- they being the most biased of all possible commentors, it is obvious that others will eventually agree, even if it takes, and it most certainl will, years and decades for them to. After all, you CAN still buy "A" vinyl record. You just can't buy most contempory music that way at stores. Yes, this is just the tip of the iceberg, but do you really, really, really want to book Titanic tickets right now? Right now things are flowing both ways, to and from eBooks. In Japan the top three paper best sellers are from eBooks. Five of the top ten. Obviously many people still prefer paper. The smaller the print cost, with the higher guaranteed sale numbers, the longer people can ignore the FACT that eBooks, as well as encyclopedias, are more efficient in many ways. Print books will NOT disappear as fast as vinyl records did and I am sure of that. However, the cost/benefit ratio of eBooks is just too great for them to continue in a competitive manner, I should have to be for some other reason, one that is beyond logic. After all, Spock always gives Kirk paper books. . .eh? However, that won't stop there from being more eBooks in an addition half century from now than paper books, just as it didn't stop The Gutenberg Press from creating more machined books than all manuscripts in its first half century. Anyone can buy a terabyte for their computer today for just over $100, and put a million eBooks on it. Terabytes are becoming commonplace. The die is cast. Thanks!!! Michael S.

O'Donnell" Subject: Re: 21.638 end of print encyclopedias A true story. I was asked about ten years ago to write a new general article on Augustine of Hippo for the Encyclopedia Britannica. I did so. Having grown up in the great age of veneration of EB, I felt a mild frisson of pleasure at the thought of being entombed in that monument. Of course, the monument at that point was only virtual: for they had stopped printing a couple of years earlier, on one of their many reversals of business plan. But still: EB, after all. It looked good on the web, where you may still read it. In 2002, I was in New Orleans speaking at the American Library Association conference and had credentials for the exhibit hall, where wandering I found the EB booth and discovered that they had printed the full set again: another change in business plan. Ah, I said, now's my chance to see my name in EB! Pulled the right volume off the shelf, opened it up and found the article by a worthy British scholar whose main work on Augustine was published in the 1930s and 1950s was still there. What the fork! I thought. Inquired. Turns out that the practical limit on the number of pages they were willing to alter in one new printing was still sharply limited, and in 2002 updating Augustine's life was in the topmost list of important things needing updating. So though they had my new article, they kept the old. I have not seen evidence that they have reprinted since, so the most recent printed version is still the 30s/50s article, not mine from the e-version. How to put that in my c.v.? Hmm.

If one accepts that special purpose encyclopedias are not in decline, then the question is whether the change is against "print" media or instead against the collective alphabetic presentation of general knowledge chopped up into multi-volume sets that require elaborate indexes to be accessed vs. unbundling that same knowledge into select subject-oriented PRINT publications. I.e., it may not be definitive proof at all that electronic information has triumphed over print information, only that perhaps multi-volume indexes are archaic compared to computer-directed access. I would guess that the number of different books in print each year with the word "encycopedia" in their titles is still increasing every year. We can check that. This demise of print indexes has much more quickly come about for other multi-volume print publications. The New York Times Index, the Periodical Index, the ISI Citation Indexes, The Humanities Index, etc.---these have all ceased being acquired by libraries because the computer allows one to look up the information these books contained interactively. Libraries now subscribe to web-based subscription services for these functions, totally eliminating the need for paper copies. That is a solid death of a species. One reason the demise of general encyclopedias in print has paused is that every public library in the country still keeps buying them and replacing them with new editions. There is a good economic reason for that. Library patrons use individual volumes out of a general encyclopedia, not the whole set at one time. Public libraries, while they all have several computer access workstations, do not always have sufficient workstations for every patron to use simultaneously--the cost to replace one general-purpose print encyclopedia with sufficient computer workstations to provide access for three or four patrons simultaneously isn't a good economic tradeoff, yet. Computers in libraries need maintenance, networks, printers, access control, floor space, tech support, etc. General purpose print encyclopedias will be dead when the publishers cease printing new editions. For now, they are just at a plateau in their decline, with libraries the sole major purchaser. Paper-based multi-volume indexes probably are dead. Superior computer-access capabilities killed them. Oh, re: a good contemporary history of encyclopedias. The Encyclopaedia Britannica's entry on encyclopedias is a good starting place. I think the major flaw I see in electronic general purpose encyclopedias is that their publishers decided to chop their entries into smaller segments, ruining the presentations as lengthy essays on their subjects. Ted Nelson ("Computer Lib/Dream Machines") envisioned electronic text access methods I thought deserved more attention. I especially liked the idea of an "expand/contract" control for reading text which varied between the abridged and full versions of the text. What the world needs now is an electronic copy of everything in print, before we manage to lose the paper versions. The rest will take care of itself. You don't have to "kill" the printed encyclopedia to prove that the "electronic" version has merit. I see electronic text as the collective "seed bank" to protect the past from destruction. And, alas, I see the possibility for destruction of printed knowledge more likely as our society slips toward deciding that if information isn't already electronic, perhaps it should be allowed to just decay away--or reduced to black-and-white images. Declaring the general purpose paper encyclopedia dead could fuel the destruction of many older versions of printed encyclopedias as no longer worth keeping. We have the contemporary electronic encyclopedia, why do we need any copies of the information in those old paper ones? So, be careful what conclusion you want people to reach.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. =AD Science fiction icons Ray Bradbury and Frederick Pohl, other science fiction authors and international scholars will explore the role of Mars in science fiction literature in the (http://eatonconference.ucr.edu) Eaton Science Fiction Conference May 16-18 at the University of California, Riverside. Other celebrated science fiction authors on the program include Gregory Bear, Gregory Benford, David Brin, Howard Hendrix, Geoffrey Landis, Larry Niven, and Kim Stanley Robinson. "Chronicling Mars" is the theme of the conference, which is returning to the UCR campus after nearly 10 years. The Eaton Conference program will include the presentation of the first Eaton Award for Lifetime Achievement in Science Fiction to Bradbury, as well as academic papers and panel discussions, a Science Fiction Poetry Association poetry reading, films about Mars, and exhibitions and receptions. Other events include a donation ceremony of the archives of the Science Fiction Poetry Association to the Eaton Collection, and an award ceremony for the winners of the first University of California Science Fiction Short Story Contest. Bradbury, author of more than 500 published works including "The Martian Chronicles" and "Fahrenheit 451," will be honored for his life's work on Saturday, May 17. He will be introduced by Dana Gioia, chairman of the National Endowment of the Arts. Conference registration is $125 for all three days, $75 per day, or $25 for students with a valid student ID. Registration information is available on the conference Web site. For information, call 951-827-3233. Space is limited. Special conference rates are available at some downtown Riverside hotels (http://eatonconference.ucr.edu/registration.php#lodging). A highlight of the conference will be the "Science Fiction Heritage" panel discussion with Bradbury and Pohl, award- winning author of the "Heechee" series, moderated by George Slusser, professor of comparative literature emeritus and curator emeritus of UCR's Eaton Collection of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and Utopian Literature. Mars has figured prominently in the writings of Bradbury and Pohl. A book-signing opportunity with Bradbury on Saturday, May 17 will be limited to one book per person. Other conference speakers also will be available to sign their books. Scholars from across the United States, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Australia will present papers in sessions ranging from scientific and mythical uses of Mars to 21st century possibilities for fiction about Mars. There also will be a tribute to Sir Arthur C. Clarke, author of "2001: A Space Odyssey," who died in March. Clarke was to have participated in the Eaton Conference via teleconference from Sri Lanka. The complete program is available online (http://eatonconference.ucr.edu/program.php). The idea to focus the conference on Mars originated with Slusser, who served as curator of the Eaton Collection for more than 25 years, said Melissa Conway, conference organizer and head of Special Collections at the UCR Libraries. "Mars has always been important to science fiction writers, and perhaps even more so today," she said. "We've been to the moon. Mars is the next frontier." Science fiction has moved from being regarded as the realm of ephemeral literature to being appreciated as an important literary genre, Conway said. "There's great imagination in science fiction literature and respect for the reader," she said. "The intelligence of the reader is engaged. The more you know about science the more you're intrigued by science fiction. There's a flexibility to the minds of these authors. They open vistas to possibilities and what the future can be, good and bad. The confluence between science fiction and reality is exciting." UCR Libraries' Special Collections is the home of the (http://eaton-collection.ucr.edu/) Eaton Collection of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and Utopian Literature, the largest in the world. The collection embraces every branch of science fiction, plus fantasy and horror, and contains the largest holdings of 16th- to 21st-century utopian and dystopian fiction in North America. The collection, which attracts scholars from around the world, holds more than 100,000 volumes of English-language science fiction, fantasy and horror published in the 20th century and a wide range of works in Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and a dozen other languages.

One key challenge of the development of intelligent and cooperative information system is to balance the autonomy of networked data, information, and knowledge sources with the potential payoff of leveraging them by the appropriate use of such agents. Research on intelligent information agents and systems is inherently cross disciplinary covering themes from domains such as AI, HCI, Internet and Web technologies, information systems, information retrieval, P2P computing, and multiagent system technologies. The objective of the international workshop series on cooperative information agents (CIA), since its establishment in 1997, is to provide a small but distinguished, interdisciplinary forum for researchers, programmers, and managers to get informed about, present, and discuss latest high quality results in research and development of agent-based intelligent and cooperative information systems, and applications for the Internet and Web. INVITED SPEAKERS ================ * Katia Sycara (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) * Manfred Hauswirth (DERI Galway, Ireland) * James H.

In their very interesting paper Knowledge Mechanics and Its Temporal Nature", they explore the subtle relationships between these important concepts. * Our old friend Phil Yaffe, one of our most popular authors, explains how to use presentation slides to best effect. Are you using slides the way you should? No? Unbelievable. You should be ashamed. * One of our wonderful associate editors, Goutam Kumar Saha, was able to find this fine paper, "Fuzzy Modeling Approach to Evaluate Faculty Performance." Faculty Peformance? Of course. Don't be so cynical. You need to read this excellent paper. It's by A.Neogi, A.C. Mondal, and S.K. Mandal, and it's really good.

Am I missing something important here? I can readily accept the spirit of "Let's see IF this digital thingy is better than this print thingy", but the report of the codex book's death seems to me not just premature but also in service of a doctrinal closing down of possibilities we can well do without. I can also readily entertain an argument that a particular genre or kind of codex book, e.g. the reference work, is better done digitally, all things considered, but it has to be an argument with evidence, not an assertion. One of the great dangers of a grant-driven research environment is the ascendency of claims over arguments. We are awash in claims. What is needed for us to be better at producing the arguments?

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/cch/research/publications/humanist.html www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:50:12 +0100 From: Susan Hockey Subject: Call for proposals to host DH2010 DH (Digital Humanities) is the annual international conference of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organisations (AHDO), whose constituent organisations are ALLC, ACH and SDH/SEMI. The committees of DH and its constituent organizations now invite proposals to host DH in 2010. Conventionally the annual DH conference has alternated between North America and Europe and it is expected that the 2010 conference will be held in Europe. The conference normally attracts 200-300 delegates with 3-4 days of papers and posters. There are normally 3-4 parallel sessions and a small number of plenary presentations. Meetings of the committees of the constituent organizations precede the conference. The academic programme is organized by an international Programme Committee. The local organizer at the host institution is responsible for the conference web site, provision of facilities, the production of a book of abstracts, a special dinner at the end of the conference, any other social events that the local host thinks would be appropriate, and, overall, the smooth running of the conference. The conference is entirely self-financing through conference fees and such sponsorship or other financial contributions as the local organizer is able to arrange. No financial support is provided by ADHO or its constituent organizations, except in relation to the recipient of a major ADHO award, such as the Busa Prize. In collaboration with the Programme Committee, the local organizer may invite other plenary speakers whose travel, subsistence and registration must be funded from the conference budget. The local organizer is expected to set three levels of fees: members of ADHO constituent organizations, non-members, and students.The difference between the fee levels for members and non-members should be no less than the cost of an individual subscription to ADHO's main print journal, LLC. ADHO is currently using the conference management system Conftool. Proposals should include * overview of facilities at the host institution - to include location of lecture rooms, poster sites, tea and coffee facilities, and technical support * degree of local institutional engagement and support for the local organizer * possible arrangements for social events, to include the conference dinner * options for accommodation (with provisional costs) * travel information * a provisional budget, with a provisional registration fee * options for payment (credit card, foreign currency etc) by participants The local organizer must be a member of one of the ADHO constituent organizations (ALLC, ACH or SDH/SEMI). The next Busa Prize will be awarded at DH2010. As well as funding the Busa Prize itself, AHDO will fund the travel, accommodation and subsistence costs of the Busa Prize recipient. The local organizer is expected to waive their registration fee. The award of the Prize and a lecture by the prizewinner will constitute one of the plenary sessions of the conference. Proposers must be prepared to give a short presentation and to answer questions at the ADHO Steering Committee meeting at the DH2008 conference (http://www.ekl.oulu.fi/dh2008/) in Oulu, Finland on 23 June 2008. Past conference web sites can be viewed via the links at http://www.ekl.oulu.fi/dh2008/past.html. For further information, see the ADHO Conference Protocol at http://www.digitalhumanities.org/Adho/SteerConferences. Proposers are invited to discuss their plans informally with the ADHO Conference Co-ordinating Committee, via the Chair Susan Hockey (s.hockey@ucl.ac.uk).

See http://ies.sas.ac.uk/about/findus.htm for directions. The title is 'I've read the news today, oh boy!' . The abstract follows. >The desire to receive and impart news is part of our social fabric: >we all want to know 'what's new?' or 'what's up?' with our friends, >families or neighbours; as well as what is happening on a local, >national, or international scale. As Mitchell Stephens observes, >'the frenzied, obsessive exchange of news is one of the oldest human >activities'. Newspapers have been one of the key fora for news, >debate, review, and comment for more than 200 years, have always >utilized the most advanced technologies for their production and >dissemination, and were among the most prolific and significant >textual objects of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/cch/research/publications/humanist.html www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 10:03:03 +0100 From: Tamara Lopez Subject: Histories of Encyclopedias [Forwarded with permission.] Dear Willard, I have been following the Humanist thread about the death of encyclopedias - studying the history of encyclopedias (or maybe more accurately the evolution of information finding structures) is a hobby of mine - and I just noticed that you have asked readers for a contemporary history of encyclopedias. I'm not sure exactly what would qualify as a contemporary history, but here are some sources that might be of use to you: Yeo, Richard (2001) Encyclopaedic Visions: Scientific Dictionaries and Enlightenment Culture. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. - Yeo speaks here of 'Dictionaries' but the form he describes is very like the contemporary encyclopedia. -- Burke, Peter (2000) A social history of knowledge: from Gutenberg to Diderot. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press/Malden, Mass.: Blackwell Publishers. - As the title suggests, this is a much broader treatment of the subject of knowledge, but the book and printing trades are given some attention as are the values surrounding knowledge collection and management. This is a very easy (and entertaining) read. Minerva Volume 40, Number 3 / September, 2002 has a review of this book (by Yeo - it is a small community of scholars it seems) of the Burke. I also have the Burke and Yeo books, if you'd like to borrow them. -- Blair, Ann (2003) 'Reading Strategies for Coping With Information Overload ca. 1550-1700', Journal of the History of Ideas 64(1): 11-28. - I cite here one article from a special issue in the Journal of the History of Ideas (http://www.jstor.org/stable/i370295) about information overload in the early modern period - which resulted she and others contend in the development of reference works like dictionaries and encyclopedias. This is an area of particular interest for Blair, who is (or was) writing a book on the subject, and spent some time investigating Conrad Gesner's Bibliotheca univeralis.

It seeks to promote the use of ICTs in research and learning through cataloging digital arts and humanities projects along with the tools and methods they employed. A number of new projects have been added to ICT Guides: Highlight: Henry III Fine Rolls Project " The Henry III Fine Rolls Project is a three year Resource Enhancement project, commencing in April 2005 and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). It aims to publish the Fine Rolls of Henry III from 1216 down to 1248 in English calendar format, in both print and electronic form. There is a fine roll for each of Henry III's fifty-six regnal years. Recording offers of money to the king for a multiplicity of concessions and favours, they are of the first importance for the study of political, governmental, legal, social, and economic history. The Fine Rolls of Henry III from 1216 down to 1248 are being published in both print and electronic form, including access to digital facsimiles of the rolls.The print version will be published by Boydell & Brewer.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/cch/research/publications/humanist.html www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 14:52:32 +0100 From: "John Bonnett" Subject: RE: 21.642 arguments not claims Willard's posting today, and Tom Scheinfeldt March 13th blog entry ("Sunset for Ideology, Sunrise for Methodology?" http://www.foundhistory.org) suggests to my mind that a new focus is emerging in the digital humanities. This focus stems from the realization that scholars are being presented with new instruments for representation (among them 3D-, 4D- and autonomous objects) and new platforms for dissemination (among them the electronic book, and information-rich virtual environments). It further stems from the realization that we have little knowledge to inform our use of either, and few if any workflows to sustain our use of either. If we are to move beyond assertion in our statements about digital formalisms and platforms, as Willard asks, then it seems to me that we will need to do two things. The first is to avoid stereotyped thinking. Such thinking is typified by statements suggesting digital media signals the imminent death of the book. Why is that? I have seen similar thinking in discussions relating to narration in digital environments, a default assumption that non-linear forms of narration are the only ones that can and should be applied in digital environments. But why is this so? It seems to me that a more sensible stance would be to approach these questions from the standpoints of domain and application. Does it make more sense for a select group of individuals to use a codex, or an e-book? Does it make more sense for an author to use a linear or non-linear narrative to meet an expressive need for a particular subject? The challenge -- our challenge -- will be to find to devise or appropriate methods to answer these questions. The second measure stems from the conclusion arrived at the first. The need for new methods suggests the need for a new form of research. If we are to arrive at useful conclusions regarding the use of new instruments of representation, conventions to govern their use, and workflows to govern their generation, peer review, and distribution, then I suggest we will need to undertake a new form of research. We will need to learn to test. We will need to take a page from HCI researchers in computer science and appropriate methods from cognitive psychology. We will need to train ourselves and graduate students to conduct lab and field experiments to determine if the expressive object, expressive convention, workflow or pattern in fact meets the purpose that we have set for it. (For those who are interested, I discuss some of these issues in greater detail in John Bonnett, "Charting a New Aesthetics for History." In _L'histoire sociale / Social History_ 40(79): 169-208. May 2007). When you think about it, this is not the first time that humanists have been faced with such a challenge. Scholars had to face the implications of the printing press. We have to face the implications of the computer now. Doubtless, in future researchers will have to face the implications that another technology presents for knowledge generation and distribution. What distinguishes our efforts today from those that preceded us is that we have to do it in a way that can be characterized as "research". I am not a print historian, and I have little or no knowledge of the process that scholars followed to establish the expressive and attestive conventions that we take for granted today. I suspect, however, that the process for the most part was ad hoc. One printer devised an innovation. It proved effective. Another printer saw it, liked it, and copied it, and the process continued until it became a de facto convention. For all I know this method may prove as effective or more effective than the method I am proposing here, one based on lab and field experiments. However, the fact remains that our activities are constrained by the expectations of our colleagues. When we make a claim about a practice relating to the use of digital technology, or its utility relative to print-based forms and platforms, it has to be based on something that they will recognize as research. Aside from experiments, I know of no other method to conduct practice-based research. I would be interested if any Humanist subscribers are able to point to an alterative. -- John Bonnett John Bonnett Assistant Professor / Canada Research Chair in Digital Humanities Department of History Brock University 500 Glenridge Avenue St. Catharines, ON L2S 3A1 Phone: (905) 688-5550, x5552 Fax: (905) 984-4849 E-mail: jbonnett@brocku.ca Return-Path: Received: from fep15.clear.net.nz (fep15 [192.168.16.116]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JZI00CP6Y39WS10@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz;

Second Life is a 3d virtual environment created by Linden Lab (R) which has captured the attention of researchers and teachers from around the world from a variety of disciplines. This workshop aims to improve the understanding of Second Life as a Learning and Research environment. It will bring 35 researchers together to collaborate, discuss and workshop diverse topics related to research and learning in Second Life. We will pursue a full-day schedule in which participants will discuss their work and interests on four different topics: learning in Second Life, integrated learning, the contributions of research to the community and ethical research methods. How can we better enable learning in this sphere? How can we better enable research? Our honored keynote will be Pathfinder Linden Researchers are requested to submit papers and short biography to slworkshop08@gmail.com , which will be selected and distributed amongst participants before the workshop. First invitations will be offered to those who provide full papers for consideration. These papers have two purposes: first is to provide a common platform for understanding our research and teaching and second submitted papers may be considered for publication in an edited volume being produced in relation to the workshop, or possibly in peer reviewed publication derived from the workshop (these are currently under discussion). Subsequent invitations will be made based upon research/teaching statement and biography with priority given to people submitting full papers. If you are interested in participating, please send an email containing your information to slworkshop08@gmail.com. Decisions will be made by August 1st, barring incident. There is a limit of 35 participants at the physical meeting; the event will be simulcast into Second Life which will be organized by Jason Nolan. We welcome professionals, faculty and graduate students to participate. This workshop is sponsored by Linden Lab, creators of Second Life, and is organized by Jeremy Hunsinger, Rochelle Mazar, Aleks Krotoski and Jason Nolan. Lunch, coffee breaks and the room is included in participation. (And you'll probably get a t-shirt!) *We are also seeking additional sponsors, please contact jhuns@vt.edu if you would like to sponsor this workshop. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 14:53:33 +0100 From: Peter Shillingsburg Subject: CTS Workshops and Symposium Textual Studies Workshops and Symposium Announcing back to back events at the Centre for Textual Scholarship, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK May 26-28: Workshops in Textual Studies for Post Graduate Students (there is no registration fee) Session leaders include Sakari Katajamäki, James McLaverty, Federico Meschini, Peter Robinson, Peter Shillingsburg.

I wonder, though, if it is possible to have "an argument with evidence" for the superiority of one or another technology. We could perhaps marshal various arguments (with evidence) for why a shift from codex to ebook would have profound social and cultural ramifications, but I'm not sure that we can reason in the same way about why one should prefer (or not prefer) a particular technology. Even if we could, it seems to me unlikely that those cogitations would have anything to do with the market forces that give one mousetrap the edge over another. Sorry, Willard. Am I just being hopelessly postmodern here? I'm all for joining claims to evidence, but what would such an argument look like in this case?

The misapprehension is based on various logical fallacies including "Appeal to Belief" or the fear of "Appeal to the Consequences of a Belief" and "Appeal to Novelty" and "Appeal to Popularity" and so on. A similar misapprehension argument might claim that ipods will replace desktop computers, or, that laptops or notebooks will replace desktop computers. It is clear that an ipod is just another convenient and portable form of what a desktop or a laptop computer can do. Why should such a drastic idea surface that other forms and types of computers are now obsolete and will be replaced by ipods? The same is true with the fiction and drastic notion that paper print texts are doomed falling way to digital texts. All types and forms of texts are practical, useful and necessary for human society. Why should only one form or type dominate? The same is true of the ipod, or any other new technology that makes information more accessible, convenient and useful. Perhaps the deepest root of this false fear of digital texts replacing paper printed texts comes from the generations of people that saw the rise of new technologies where one form of technology complete replaced a former. Although the latest washing machine is more desirable than the former, there are places and times when a good scrub board and washtub are very good and useful options. So the misapprehension and drastic scenario of digital texts replacing paper printed texts is like the boy who cried wolf. When everyone came out to see this disaster they could find none. The same is true here. Digital texts are fine and good and convenient and useful and practical. However, like a good scrub board and washtub there are places and times when paper printed texts are more desirable or perhaps better serve the situation being more practical or convenient.

I see eText as ever so much more than "to protect the past." I see it as a doorway to a future in which anyone, anywhere, anywhen, can learn to read via the various "read aloud" types of programs from mainframes to cellphones, including obvious choices such as audio-visual dictionaries. I see eBooks as elevating the literacy and educations rates as much as did The Gutenberg Press, ushering in new ages of general literacy and education rates without the intermedia of the various instituations we have relied upon, just as a new age was created by The Gutenberg Press.

So, did you miss the part where I mentioned I have fifty full encyclopedias here in my house? Or 25 unabridged dictionaries? In both cases with examples going back to the 1800's? Obviously _I_ am not advocating "the destruction of many older versions of printed encyclopedias as no longer worth keeping." However, I am getting old, and I would like pass them on. >We have the contemporary electronic encyclopedia, why do we need any >copies of the information in those old paper ones?

[This time the YOU is singular.] My own statements seem obvious enough to others, so your interpretations may need some shoring up.

Hart Founder Project Gutenberg --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2008 08:45:17 +0100 From: Michael Hart Subject: Decline and Fall of the Paper Empire The Decline and Fall of the Paper Empire PT 3 in a series by Michael S. Hart Founder, 1971 Project Gutenberg Inventor of eBooks Paper Encyclopedias, Music, Film and Other Media All Going! The first two parts of this series deal with the extinction of print encyclopedias, an event some would say we were now right in the middle of, but which others would say we would be more properly said to be nearer the end. Buying Retail CDROMs Is Also Going The Way of the Dinosaurs However, it is not just paper, we have recently witnessed a virtual extinction of vinyl records in a very few years and now the medium that caused that extinction is threatened. Were you aware that Apple is currently the largest retailer of recorded music, having surpassed Wal-Mart? Thus, after only two decades at the top of the heap, CDROMs are no longer looking quite the well as in the victory over vinyl records, which didn't look all that different then an assortment of records from early last century. The grooves just were arranged a little differently and got smaller. Change is changing. And most people still can't grasp that. Everything is going digital. The Camera, From Home to Hollywood, Has Gone More Digital The Kodak and Fuji film empires are not what they were, due simply to those silly little digital cameras, not to forget the great big serious digital cameras. Books, records, photographs. . .what's next? Well, from more than one perspective, the answer is movies. If you haven't been to a decent movie theater lately you're in for a bit of a surprise, as I was. First of all, it was an extra dollar, which I did not like. However, second of all was that the last couple movies I am recalling were shown via digital projectors, and happily to say, it was worth the extra dollar in both cases. The picture was a perfect rendition of the Hollywood master as far as I could tell. No snaps, crackles, or pops in the audio or video, no hassle with the focus. Perfection. What else? Point Of Sale [POS] Computers Have Replaced Cash Registers You all certainly realize the checkout process is digitized in all major stores and many minor ones. What in heaven's name would be do without those tiny little laser scanners and that constant beeping? Even the Tickets Handed to You by the Local Police Those of you who get tickets in your cars know that process has been digitized, they don't "write" you a ticket now. Sometimes they don't even hand it to you, they mail it. However, as I learned with my last ticket, this allows them to actually change the amount on the ticket digitally; when I paid the ticket, it turned out they had increased pricing for that particular infraction since my ticket's date and I was only saved by someone in the police station who knew it and did not approve. Newspapers Are Less Paper and More Online In case you hadn't noticed, the newspapers you are reading, well, that minority who read newspapers any more, were just a bit smaller last year than the year before, and it should be expected for that trend to continue. By sheer paper volume measurement they are approaching that newspaper format called "tabloid" just as computers move to that format called "tablet." Digital Carnivores No, Not the Carnivore the Government Uses on Your Emails In fact, it should be expected for all those to continue in the near future, to the point where there is small question as to whether there is a new carnivore at the top of worlds of food chains, so to speak, a new Tyrannosaurus Rex. Of course, as with digital music, the reign of the new Rex, such as it is, might not be all that long. However, the new Rex will undoubtedly still be digital, but a second generation of digital, without a physical body and thus of a significantly different nature. The REAL Digital Revolution Today Is Telephones!!! Most people don't think of it, but the greatest of all such changes has been with the telephone, though they keep up an assortment of threats with television, as well. However, right now, even as we speak, we have three billion cellphones in operation, enough for even the hardest boiled Luddites to have to admit that cellphones are dominating in the telephone world, and being tethered to a wire is going, going, going the way of the dinosaur. By the way, don't forget my longstanding prediction that it is going to be a very different cellphone world, on the far side of three billion than it was in the beginning side. Now that literally half of the possible market is saturated it is impossible for the market to double again, as was the case for all previous cellphone history. Once you hit 50%, as we have, all future growth rates become more incremental than apparently anyone ever imagined on the way up. Don't believe me? Just look at "The Dot Com Bust." Anyone could have predicted it. Why? The U.S. hit the 50% saturation level with all the computer stuff, including the Internet, and all their plans, if your conscience allows you to call them that [along with history of plans for Korea, Viet Nam, or Iraq], all their plans had been made on a continuing growth curve. No one ever planned on what happens after you reach 50%!!! This same thing might be playing out right in front of us-- with cellphones, air travel, automobile travel and computer stuff once again, as we switch economies from the national, and find ourselves squarely in the middle of globalization, whether we like it or not. Don't Forget Just How Much All The New Cars Went Digital Ever had that little computer chip replaced in your car? The one that runs EVERYTHING??? It will cost you more than buying the average computer from your local retailer. ////// We SAY "This Is The Information Age." But I have to ask, as I have been asking for years: "The Information Age? For WHOM?!?" The Age of Dumbing Down The Age of Calculators The Age of "Question Authority!" The Age of Misinformation The Age of Disinformation The Age of "That statement is no longer operative." The Age when ignorance is as good as education. The Age when telling lies as as good as telling truths. These items, and more, in Part 4. Some Closing Remarks About The Digital Changes Coming Soon Meanwhile, huge changes are taking place in television this coming year, and by this time next year people will say big things about television going digital, though why they wait so long is still a mystery. Why is is that the press only like to write about stories a person can relate to "here and now?" The press SAYS it provides predictions into the future, and a grasp of the historical, but it seems there is very small due diligence paid to either the future or to history. Perhaps in this case the press is OWNED by the television-- or vice versa--and thus doesn't want to provide information that might "rock the boat" of digital television conversion scheduled to take place 10 months from today. With all this cross-ownership of TV, radio, newspapers, and so much so to the point that the average city no longer has multiple corporate media coverage, it is no wonder that the press doesn't cover stories that might affect the press for the worse, certainly not covering something as expensive as the conversion from analog to digital broadcasting. "Who watches the watchers?" "Who guards the guardians?" From one of the oldest quotations in the world, and this is probably just a translation of an even earlier quotation: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" Something else they don't mention: they will be able to do anything they like to prevent your "taping" digital shows-- just the same as the variously strange copy protections the world saw with CDs, DVDs, Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and those sorts of things. They will ALL visit you in your nightmares. . .er. . .dreams, when TV goes digital. By the way, there is just the reverse of the DMCA for those media YOU use. . .the law says that you have no expectation of privacy when you use a cellphone or any wireless device! Meaning, of course, they have every legal right to tap your wireless communications, not that they seem to see any need for a warrant to tap your landline these days. I have told everyone for decades to simply presume all mail sent via any computer is being read along the way. Obviously they can't READ all the email with human eyes but the Carnivore computers do chew up all the email and send a flagged report about any that look suspicious.

At the 2009 RSA meeting, several sessions will continue to follow this interest across several key projects, through a number of thematic touchstones, and in several emerging areas. For these sessions, we seek proposals in the following general areas, and beyond, at their points of intersection with new technologies: a) research (individual or group projects) b) teaching (individual or group projects) c) publication (e.g. from the vantage point of authors, traditional and non-traditional publishers) Proposals for papers, panels, demonstrations, and/or workshop presentations that focus on these issues and others are welcome.

We also invite you to contribute your expertise and insight to day three of vizNET 2008 (9 May) in which we explore and identify a series of Grand Challenges as perceived by the UK Visualization Community: http://www.viznet.ac.uk/viznet2008/grandchallenges vizNET 2008: Call for video http://www.viznet.ac.uk/viznet2008/callforvideo vizNET 2008 encourages attendees to submit a short video clip for inclusion in one of the early presentation sessions. We are very keen for attendees to have the opportunity to fully participate during the event. Whilst some people may prefer to show off some of their work we also recognise that some attendees may be more interested in highlighting a problem they are trying to solve and which they would like to share with others. For instance you may have a particularly challenging data set with no immediately obvious means of teasing out important features of the underlying data set properties. By bringing examples of such challenges to vizNET 2008 it is highly likely that other people attending the vizNET event will be able to suggest possible ways of solving the problems. A short video can illustrate the sort of visualization work people are engaged with and help explain the key points much better than a static poster. vizNET 2008 is very much concerned with broadening out and increasing opportunities for networking. vizNET 2008: The 2nd Interdisciplinary Conference on Intersections of Visualization Practices and Techniques 7th-9th May, Loughborough University A JISC funded joint event hosted by vizNET and 3DVisA. http://www.viznet.ac.uk/viznet2008/ Early registration for this event closes TODAY Friday 18 April: £40 / £15 Students Video/Poster submission closes Friday 25th April. kind regards Julie Tolmie --------------------------------- vizNET 2007: Background information is available at http://www.viznet.ac.uk/viznet2007/ Intersections Background information is available at http://www.viznet.ac.uk/intersections/ --------------------------------- Return-Path: Received: from fep14.clear.net.nz (fep14 [192.168.16.115]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JZK00JIWBVO7560@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz;

When this is done, Humanist will be moved to the ADHO server. I have every confidence that the new machinery and the move will constitute a change that no recipient of this message sees. But until it happens, new anti-spam mechanisms are installed at a new address, Humanist will continue to be bombarded with an enormous flood of spam. To keep this flood from overcoming the whole operation, I have to bail out our little craft at least once a day, preferably more often. As I do this I keep an eye out for genuine submissions, of course, but am not entirely confident I see them all. When I cannot (because I am away lecturing or whatever) the accumulated amount of spam is so great that I simply have to delete the lot without inspection. Hence IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR POSTING ON HUMANIST WITHIN 24 HOURS, ASSUME IT HAS BEEN LOST AND RESUBMIT. In fact, send it to me directly as well as to Humanist. DO NOT ASSUME IT HAS BEEN JUDGED WANTING AND SO CENSORED. I don't do that, ever, without corresponding with the submitter. Yours, WM Willard McCarty | Professor of Humanities Computing | Centre for Computing in the Humanities | King's College London | http://staff.cch.kcl.ac.uk/~wmccarty/.

This doesn't mean that some people wouldm't want to buy it. It means that the niche has decreased to such an extent that it is no longer viable in it's present form. After the car came in there were still buggy whips being sold. Just not as many. You can see this playing out in the newspaper business right now. There will always be people who love to read newspapers....just not as many. Especially readers below 30. Its also playing out in the music business as it did with records, now with CD's. I believe that TV networks and movie companies are next. I see the change over from analog TV to digital with the additional DRM and comtrols om fair use and I wonder how many people are actually going to keep watching. One of my sons missed the two first episodes of Battlestar Galactica and said that he wasn't going to try to watch any more but wait until it rolls out on DVD. The below is a little clip of a conversation on Jerry Pournelle's blog. A novel in a library gets checked out six times a year on average. That's six copies not sold. Presuming the reader... 1) Does not like the book enough to buy a copy to read anytime, or several times. 2) Would read the book for free, but not if required to purchase. 3) Does not like an author (such as Jerry pournelle) or a subject or a book review enough to buy automatically. 4) Reads a book in little bits due to time or other constraint such that the checkout period of the book is not enough time to complete. 5) ad infinitum... Brice Yokum Precisely. Note that at one time, sales to 2,000 libraries was a major market for hard bound books; this in the days when 10,000 copies in hard bound was a good sale. Mr. Heinlein advised me to speak at librarian conventions if I got a chance. Library sales are not a major factor any longer, but they are not trivial, and I have never thought libraries had a negative effect on sales. In this era of piracy of eBooks coupled with decline in paperback sales, all this may need rethinking. Of course Pournelle's opinion is contrary to most of the authors who are published over at Baen's experience. But as I look around I see all book sales except electronic sales going down. Another point I believe you are all missing is we have reached the point that for all intents and purposes the actual value of an intellectual property book, song, movie, painting is probably less than a penny and most less than a dime. As long as we are talking monetary value and not intellectual value. I sell a collection of 100,000 ebooks for $100 and I am about to release an upgrade to 150,000 for the same amount. I have aims of having a million ebooks within a couple of years. The price will be fractions of a cent per book. Too low to meter so to speak. I also have Mp3 collections of music, news audio and video, and movies coming out soon.

However, I do want to underscore the immense value in the embodiment of literature and other cultural texts (read broadly) in digital form -- as a scholar and a teacher, I hope that ultimately this mode will replace print. Granted that one lives in an industrial society and has the means to access media electronically, the switch to digital form is useful not only in terms of accessibility to a range of texts not on one's library shelf or the shelves of one's library, but also in their enhanced manipulation for study: the possibility of expanded and searchable annotation capabilities; computer-supported searching; as well as the potentially more powerful machine analysis of texts for word / phrase clusters and other patterns. The ability to work on texts collaboratively, too, is important for us as teachers and perhaps one day as scholars as well. And this not only in annotating texts, but also in appending discussions about them that occur asynchronously with other interested readers. Digital media give us the ability to surround texts with layers or links to nodes of rich interdisciplinary and increasingly global contextualizations for digital texts -- and the speed of accessing these fulfills our immediate curiosity and helps to build knowledge schemas more diversely and rapidly. Learners can not only access established nodes, but help to construct them through many forms of social networking, even to ranking the found helpfulness of outside source recommendations or providing their own. When all of these digitally-enabled elements are put into play, we generate a different style of learning and use. Texts really become demonstrably opened to cultural interpenetration and active reader manipulation. We move from a consumer model of engagement, located in our own cultural and disciplinary moments and amongst a coterie of like minds, into one of cultural co-production, with potentially wider audiences and accountabilities. We have the opportunity to demonstrate and commit to a broader vision of relevance. Granted, we can oversell how radical the transformation in our (and our students') epistemological engagement is -- the ontological change is slighter than we suppose, at least until new media inspire genuinely new types of creative acts and future students of culture engage with them on their own terms. But we should, nonetheless, acknowledge the advantages provided by this digital evolution of textual forms for cultural studies. These are not merely advantages of method, but of mind and voice.

However, the tasks seem to compliment the communities described. Task-1 is the representation of an arts and humanities artifact in computable form. Without transformation of artifacts into a form accessible to computing there cannot be computation. Task-2 is the representation of an arts and humanities scholar's goals for examination of that artifact as a realizeable computer program that can yield results which will answer questions about the artifact. Key here are two steps. A. Communication between arts and humanities scholars and technical experts as to the nature of the problem and the perceived nature of the desired solution. B. Organization of the computer technical experts to actually configure or create hardware, then to create and operate computer software to achieve the desired goals. Task-3 is the establishment of an environment in which funding to perform Task-1 and Task-2 is available to an Arts and Humanities scholar. This is a missing link as far as I see it. The value of the result to society has to be sufficient to make the funding available. There's a big difference between wanting to go to the moon and having the funding to do so. Task-4 is the establishment of a hardware environment and information preservation/dissemination environment that can be used by individuals in pursuit of Task-1 and Task-2, as well as a means of preserving the input and output of those tasks for others to be aware of and to use. In the sciences, this has been addressed by creating national centers for specific computing needs. No reason to think that solution wouldn't work in the Arts and Humanities, but it does suggest that resources would be concentrated at specific geographic locations for specific tasks and that arts and humanities scholars would travel to those locations to at least initially begin their projects. What those specific tasks are depends upon dividing the arts and humanities into sub-disciplines in which computation can play a part. Music and auditory work, 2-dimensional arts, 3-dimentional arts and artifacts, and textual work come to mind as natural divisions, but other areas are clearly necessary such as performance arts, and sensory arts not related to auditory or visual representation. There... its done. Now just get the $6 million needed to establish the centers and the $3 million a year to operate them, and it will be done. :-) --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 07:01:59 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: a waterfall? I think what worries me the most about Bamboo -- a worry that may only illuminate my own ignorance or misunderstanding of the project -- is the conception of its basic process as a variant of W. W. Royce's "waterfall" scheme for software engineering. To put the matter another way, it seems a very old-fashioned, more or less one-way translation of the (tenured) humanist scholars' problems into a software solutions by (non-tenured) technicians. The only new element seems to be the considerable benefit to the (tenured) computer scientists, who tap into the flow of challenging problems and perhaps advise the technicians. What worries me is the near fixity of the humanist scholars' conceptions of their problems -- as well as the perpetuation of the old and very tired social division between the idea-people and the workers who do what they say. What is different (apart from the CS folk listening in) from the situation that obtained in the 1980s and earlier, when a (tenured) humanist would walk over to the computer centre for long conversations with his or her programmer? Not just to miss what has been accomplished in some parts of the world since then but also to pour large amounts of money into cementing the 1980s into the Naughties seem to me to be worth a fair bit of concern.

SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) Europe initiated the Award in 2006 to recognise the work of an individual or group within Europe that has made significant advances in our understanding of the issues surrounding scholarly communications and/or in developing practical means to address the problems with the current systems. In making the Award to Dr Waaijers the judging panel noted his tireless support for new models of scholarly communication and his innovative approach to repositories and their promotion, especially as initiator of the DARE programme and manager of DAREnet. As manager of the SURF Platform ICT and Research, Dr Waaijers has initiated a number of important projects within the Netherlands, including the original DARE programme, the Keur der Wetenschap (Cream of Science) initiative and the honDAREduizend - or HunDAREdthousand =96 project. In addition, his influence as been felt throughout Europe and beyond as a widely-travelled advocate, initiator of the 2007 petition to the European Commission, and an important player in the DRIVER and DRIVER II programmes. Wim Liebrand, director of SURF commented, "Leo Waaijers deserves this tangible recognition for his work in the world of libraries, information technology and Open Access. We all know that Leo has been highly effective in his energetic attempts to improve the easier dissemination of knowledge. And that has had a direct and beneficial impact on both research and educational environments. Leo has guided the Netherlands to a lead position in supporting the fast changing world of scholarly communication and we, at SURF, are proud of that." Leo Waaijers said "Open Access is also about sharing inspiration, best practices and knowledge within the OA community itself. This has been the key success factor of DAREnet. For me, the SPARC Europe Award is recognizing exactly this. It is a great stimulus to proceed with this modus operandi.' This is the third time the SPARC Europe Award for Outstanding Achievements in Scholarly Communications has been made. The first Award, in 2006, went to the Wellcome Trust and the second in 2007 to the SHERPA Group. SPARC Europe is an alliance of 110 research-led university libraries from 14 European countries. It is affiliated with SPARC based in Washington, D.C., which represents over 200 institutions, mainly in North America. SPARC Europe and SPARC work to develop and promote new models of scholarly communication that increase the access to and utility of the research literature. About SURF SURF is the collaborative organisation for academic universities, universities of applied sciences and research institutions aimed at breakthrough innovations in ICT.

We could >perhaps marshal various arguments (with evidence) for why a shift from >codex to ebook would have profound social and cultural ramifications, >but I'm not sure that we can reason in the same way about why one >should prefer (or not prefer) a particular technology. Even if we >could, it seems to me unlikely that those cogitations would have >anything to do with the market forces that give one mousetrap the edge >over another. A good question: what would evidence for the superiority of one technology over another be? We know of several cases, such as Betamax video format, the QWERTY keyboard or the zipper, in which technical superiority has had very little to do with what actually happened. But I had something else in mind. The kind of claim I had in mind was, for example, that the application of computing to the study of history has changed that field as Fr Busa said should be our aim: >In this field one should not use the computer primarily for speeding >up the operation, nor for minimizing the work of the researchers. It >would not be reasonable to use the computer just to obtain the same >results as before, having the same qualities as before, but more >rapidly and with less human effort.... To repeat: the use of >computers in the humanities has as its principal aim the enhancement >of the quality, depth and extension of research and not merely the >lessening of human effort and time. ("The Annals of Humanities >Computing", CHum 14 (1980): 89) So the question is, what does evidence for "the enhancement of the quality, depth and extension of research" look like? The answer depends to some degree, of course, on the field we're talking about. For history we'd need to cite as evidence in support of the claim (1) the range and variety of evidence marshalled; (2) the conclusions that this evidence led to; but also (3) the historiographical changes that had come about, and (4) the response from other historians -- or as a good friend said in telling me what my goal should be, "you want others to look at this and say, 'How ever did he get these results? I want to be able to do that!'". In other words, we need not only to document the metanoia of the individual historian or whatever but also to study research output. To switch fields to literary studies and reverse the polarity of my argument, it's no good to say that the reason text-analysis has had almost no impact on criticism is that critics have been drugged by Theory, the study of language by Chomskyan linguistics etc etc. That may indeed be the case. But one has to ask, why has text-analysis been unable to persuade the critics to kick their habit. Why has it been so weak? Such study, of the social-scientific kind, is one response. But it needs to be supplemented by visions of what's possible, for without them whatever changes are happening may be very difficult or impossible to see. One needs to be reactive, but that's not enough. The changes are made, they don't just happen. Comments?

Since my large, public university is part of the underfunded step-child of the Univ of California system, we're wondering if our attendance is necessary at this workshop and even in this project because we lack the very funding tools to help digital projects. Most faculty here (at San Jose State University) coddle together teams. But, we (faculty at SJSU) don't know who is doing what here. At the very least, Bamboo will offer us an opportunity to step into the conversations. As the sole Humanities scholar pushing to attend the workshop next week at Berkeley, what can I expect? Realistically, is my state university community to be included among the ranks of the private and research-intensive universities? Or, could something like the Bamboo Project inspire our administrators to focus on the digital? We are, after all, in the middle of Silicon Valley with Adobe only 2 blocks from our campus. We produce large numbers of programmers and engineers for Silicon Valley but we don't intellectualize the digital (yet). How can our service mission be converted? These are the issues that I'm wondering about as I work furiously to gather a team. Any other thoughts? Kathy Dr. Katherine D.

However, the tasks seem to compliment the communities described. Task-1 is the representation of an arts and humanities artifact in computable form. Without transformation of artifacts into a form accessible to computing there cannot be computation. Task-2 is the representation of an arts and humanities scholar's goals for examination of that artifact as a realizeable computer program that can yield results which will answer questions about the artifact. Key here are two steps. A. Communication between arts and humanities scholars and technical experts as to the nature of the problem and the perceived nature of the desired solution. B. Organization of the computer technical experts to actually configure or create hardware, then to create and operate computer software to achieve the desired goals. Task-3 is the establishment of an environment in which funding to perform Task-1 and Task-2 is available to an Arts and Humanities scholar. This is a missing link as far as I see it. The value of the result to society has to be sufficient to make the funding available. There's a big difference between wanting to go to the moon and having the funding to do so. Task-4 is the establishment of a hardware environment and information preservation/dissemination environment that can be used by individuals in pursuit of Task-1 and Task-2, as well as a means of preserving the input and output of those tasks for others to be aware of and to use. In the sciences, this has been addressed by creating national centers for specific computing needs. No reason to think that solution wouldn't work in the Arts and Humanities, but it does suggest that resources would be concentrated at specific geographic locations for specific tasks and that arts and humanities scholars would travel to those locations to at least initially begin their projects. What those specific tasks are depends upon dividing the arts and humanities into sub-disciplines in which computation can play a part. Music and auditory work, 2-dimensional arts, 3-dimentional arts and artifacts, and textual work come to mind as natural divisions, but other areas are clearly necessary such as performance arts, and sensory arts not related to auditory or visual representation. There... its done. Now just get the $6 million needed to establish the centers and the $3 million a year to operate them, and it will be done. :-) --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 07:01:59 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: a waterfall? I think what worries me the most about Bamboo -- a worry that may only illuminate my own ignorance or misunderstanding of the project -- is the conception of its basic process as a variant of W. W. Royce's "waterfall" scheme for software engineering. To put the matter another way, it seems a very old-fashioned, more or less one-way translation of the (tenured) humanist scholars' problems into a software solutions by (non-tenured) technicians. The only new element seems to be the considerable benefit to the (tenured) computer scientists, who tap into the flow of challenging problems and perhaps advise the technicians. What worries me is the near fixity of the humanist scholars' conceptions of their problems -- as well as the perpetuation of the old and very tired social division between the idea-people and the workers who do what they say. What is different (apart from the CS folk listening in) from the situation that obtained in the 1980s and earlier, when a (tenured) humanist would walk over to the computer centre for long conversations with his or her programmer? Not just to miss what has been accomplished in some parts of the world since then but also to pour large amounts of money into cementing the 1980s into the Naughties seem to me to be worth a fair bit of concern.

Since it was launched, the journal has become a strong venue for international, interdisciplinary contributions focused on how we do research and why we make the choices we do. This an open access journal with full peer review. You will find the journal at http://jrp.icaap.org/index.php/jrp Best regards, Ken Friedman -- About JRP: Focus and Scope Journal of Research Practice (JRP) seeks to develop our understanding of research as a type of practice, so as to extend and enhance that practice in the future. The Journal aims to highlight the dynamics of research practice, as it unfolds in the life of a researcher, in the growth and decline of a field, and in relation to a changing social and institutional environment. The Journal welcomes deliberation on the basic issues and challenges encountered by researchers in any specific domain. The Journal aims to explore why and how different activities, criteria, methods, and languages become part of research practice in any domain. This is expected to trigger interdisciplinary dialogue, mutual learning, facilitate research education, and promote innovations in different fields. The Journal's scope is not defined in terms of academic disciplines. It cuts across disciplines and fields by drawing out the living dimensions of research unfolding through history, culture, research communities, professions, and of course the lives of individual researchers. The Journal seeks to study the evolving patterns of thinking and practice that underlie open inquiry in any domain. The scope also includes topics such as research training, research design, research utilisation, research policy, and innovative forms of research. The Journal targets all researchers, scholars, research-inclined professionals, and research students, irrespective of their disciplinary background. It seeks to attract reflective articles on the dynamics and challenges of research practice in context, as well as articles presenting experiences and learning from research carried out in an innovative way. In order to promote wider participation in these deliberations, JRP will be published electronically in the open access mode. Peer Review Process Submission abstracts are usually shared in the Research_Practice online forum. Reviewers are generally selected from this forum. A submission can have three or more reviewers. Each submission is first examined by the editor for its relevance to JRP's focus, scope, and editorial perspective. If found relevant, it is next examined to check whether the Author Guidelines have been followed adequately, especially the guidelines on Writing for JRP. The submission is expected to contain some critical self-reflection by the author(s) and be written for the broad and multidisciplinary readership of JRP. Reviewers are requested to write their comments so as to be informative and helpful to the authors. The typical time taken to review is about 4-6 weeks. After the editorial decision is made, all the reviewers get to read each other's review. Call For Submissions Submissions in English, clearly related to the Journal's editorial focus, are sought in the following four categories: (i) Main Article (about 6000 words), (ii) Research Design (about 3000 words), (iii) Provocative Idea (about 3000 words), and (iv) Review of published material (about 3000 words). Main articles may relate to a general topic concerning research practice (e.g., research contexts, research methods, etc.) or focus on a specific research domain. If it is the latter, then special care needs to be exercised to tailor the article to focus on the generic challenges of doing research in that domain and the specific innovations developed. The language of the articles should be sensitive towards a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, and multi-cultural readership. Each main article should make a contribution to our understanding of research practice, so as to keep open the possibility of extending and enhancing that practice in the future. The Research Design section will carry research proposals, making explicit the context, available choices, and the actual research design being proposed. Submissions under this category should focus mainly on the methodological difficulties and justification of the choices, so that the work may be of interest to researchers in widely different research areas. It may also focus on the implications of using specific theoretical frameworks to approach the problem of research design. This section can also carry accounts of unfinished research, or research that ran into unexpected hurdles and could not progress. Among others, research students are also encouraged to contribute to this section. The Provocative Idea section is meant for faster communication among researchers in different disciplines, who are looking for fresh ideas, new perspectives, and bold conjectures relating to some of the challenging puzzles of research in their specific domains. Contributions in this section may also make innovative suggestions concerning some generic aspect of research practice, cutting across disciplines and domains, e.g., research training or research utilisation. The journal welcomes reviews of books, journal issues, Web sites, films, and other forms of published material that address some aspect of research practice. Reviewers should make an attempt to connect with the journal's editorial focus. All submissions to the journal (except invited contributions and reviews) will be subjected to a process of double-blind review. Please consult the detailed Guidelines before posting your submission. Editorial Perspective 1. Extending Organised Inquiry From interpreting text to observing nature, from designing systems to guiding actions, there is a long history of the human undertaking in quest of results that are novel, independent, and liberating in some way. This quest has attracted resources and talents of societies, commanding their respect in general. Institutions have flourished across the globe to nurture this kind of activity that has come to be known as research. Experience suggests that it has been difficult to regulate or contain this kind of activity within any specific logical or institutional form. Research has always remained partly unmanageable, partly deviant, despite historic tendencies to co-opt it into the so-called disciplines, professions, research centres, etc. That propensity of research, to maintain a degree of autonomy, despite various forms of restraint on it, is worth remembering for all of us who are inclined towards it and inspired by it. Despite the success research has demonstrated over time, it has been under intense scrutiny, both from its practitioners and from the general public. As a consequence, new demands are being imposed on its practice and over its results, for example, the need to include users of the results in the process of doing research. Attempting to respond to such demands has not been easy. Looking at the contemporary realities of research, we find it divided not only among disciplines and specialisms beyond recognition, but also ironically among research perspectives upheld by notions of method. While such plurality can add strength to the overall repertoire of research, it can also make researchers impervious to the generic qualities of their task, and thus forget their common roots. This can weaken their capacity to respond to new challenges in a satisfactory way. This danger seems more real today, with researchers branching out into ever new contexts, entering into new alliances, and accepting ever new challenges--even those for which their tools and methods are not well adapted. As a result, there is a pressure to change, to adapt the tools and methods, while ensuring that the activity will still be regarded as research. Researchers and a variety of research-oriented workers (including action researchers, creative problem solvers, flexible specialists, thinking therapists, organic intellectuals, etc., or generally speaking, reflective practitioners), who recognise that pressure to adapt and wish to respond to it in ways that still retain the generic qualities of research, can connect with each other and learn from their multiple innovations. For this, they have to compare accounts of the changing context of research in different areas, share their stories of adventure with new methods and new breeds of research, and articulate the emerging challenges to their work. This can be expected to generate a holistic and dynamic understanding of research as an evolving practice and produce the learning and insights necessary to steer the development of that practice in future. Journal of Research Practice is expected to facilitate such interactions at a global level, cutting across disciplines, fields, and professions, so as to extend the boundaries of open and organised inquiry, in response to the ever new challenges posed before it. 2. Connecting Researchers The journal would seek to develop our understanding of organised inquiry as it takes place in various disciplines, fields, and professions, especially as the practice of such inquiry adapts to its ever changing context. By publishing critically reflective accounts of research in all domains and fields, the journal would explore why and how particular principles and practices become part of organised inquiry in particular contexts, and also the generic learning researchers in other contexts can derive from it. This would serve the broader purpose of extending organised inquiry as a whole by learning from the successful and unsuccessful innovations in different areas of research. More specifically, the journal would explore themes connected with the following: (a) Research as a Practice: The journal would explore the consequences of viewing research as an evolving practice. The responsibility of the research community to itself and to the public must also be considered, especially in cases where a research process (or product) leads to negative externalities. (b) Open Inquiry: A journal would pursue the possibility of open inquiry, even in areas where it appear to be difficult. This would draw upon the interdependence and synergies among the sciences, arts, humanities, design, intervention, etc. (c) Connecting Researchers: The journal should help create reflective conversations across disciplinary and professional boundaries. Therefore, authors need to be careful with the jargon and the embedded assumptions peculiar to a discipline or profession. The journal would promote connections among multiple knowledge systems. (d) Contexts of Research: The journal would encourage reflection on the variety of contexts in which researchers find themselves. Innovations developed by researchers to deal with the challenges of these contexts would be studied. The prospects of these innovations for future research practice need to be assessed. (e) Contemporary Relevance: The journal should connect with the human conditions of our times, help bridge multiple global divides, address institutional malfunctioning, explore the power of connective (and cooperative) technologies, and advance lifelong learning. Journal of Research Practice aspires to become a shared space for people to explore and extend the powers of organised inquiry. Besides, it should become an indispensable resource for research education around the world.

ESSLLI is the annual meeting point for the whole community of Logic, Language and Information: the leading figures of our field are teaching courses and presenting their research in workshops; publishers are not only unveiling their newest books and journals but also scouting for future authors of publications; and junior and senior scientists meet for joint work on hard problems. Many logicians have met their future PhD supervisor or employer at an ESSLLI. ESSLLI 2008 in Hamburg is particularly good value-for-money: the relatively low (early) registration rate of 324 EUR for students, the cheap accommodation options (the lowest at around 250 EUR for the full two weeks), and an excellent connectivity by bus, train and budget airlines will make Hamburg 2008 affordable for young researchers who could not come to other ESSLLIs before. The early registration deadline is THURSDAY 1 MAY 2008. If you register and pay before the deadline, you will benefit from the early registration rate of 324 EUR for students or 399 EUR for non-students.

Growing numbers=20 of peer-reviewed research journals are opening-up=20 their content online, removing access barriers=20 and allowing all interested readers the=20 opportunity of reading the papers online, with=20 over 3300 such journals listed in the DOAJ,=20 hosted by Lund University Libraries in Sweden. However, the maximum benefit from this wonderful=20 resource is not being realised as confusion=20 surrounds the use and reuse of material published=20 in such journals. Increasingly, researchers=20 wish to mine large segments of the literature to=20 discover new, unimagined connections and=20 relationships. Librarians wish to host material=20 locally for preservation purposes. Greater=20 clarity will bring benefits to authors, users, and journals. In order for open access journals to be even more=20 useful and thus receive more exposure and provide=20 more value to the research community it is very=20 important that open access journals offer=20 standardized, easily retrievable information=20 about what kinds of reuse are=20 allowed. Therefore, we are advising that all=20 journals provide clear and unambiguous statements=20 regarding the copyright statement of the papers=20 they publish. To qualify for the SPARC Europe=20 Seal a journal must use the Creative Commons By=20 (CC-BY) license which is the most user-friendly=20 license and corresponds to the ethos of the Budapest Open Access Initiative. The second strand of the Seal is that journals=20 should provide metadata for all their articles to=20 the DOAJ, who will then make the metadata=20 OAI-compliant. This will increase the visibility=20 of the papers and allow OAI-harvesters to include=20 details of the journal articles in their services. 'We want to build on the great work already done=20 by the publishers of many open access journals=20 and improve the standards of open access titles,'=20 said David Prosser, Director of SPARC=20 Europe. 'Working with the DOAJ means that we can=20 provide help and guidance to journals who wish to=20 move beyond the first step of free access to full=20 open access and our long-term aim is to ensure=20 that all journals listed in the DOAJ can attain=20 the standards expressed within the Seal' 'Improving the standards of the rapidly=20 increasing numbers of open access and=20 contributing to the widest possible visibility,=20 dissemination and readership of the journals is=20 very much in line with our mission, ' said Lars=20 Bj=F6rnshauge, Director of Libraries at Lund=20 University. 'We are very happy to see the=20 enormous usage of the DOAJ and the support from our membership' 'Legal certainty is essential to the emergence of=20 an internet that supports research. The=20 proliferation of license terms forces researchers=20 to act like lawyers, and slows innovative=20 educational and scientific uses of the scholarly=20 canon' said Johan Wilbanks, Executive Director of=20 Science Commons. 'Using a seal to reward the=20 journals who choose to adopt policies that ensure=20 users' rights to innovate is a great idea. It=20 builds on a culture of trust rather than a=20 culture of control, and it will make it easy to=20 find the open access journals with the best policies.' 'This is an excellent program with two important=20 recommendations. CC-BY licenses make OA journals=20 more useful, and interoperable metadata make them=20 more discoverable. The recommendations are easy=20 to adopt and will accelerate research, facilitate=20 preservation, and make OA journal policies more=20 open and more predictable for users. I hope all=20 OA journals will adopt them --not to get the=20 Seal from SPARC Europe and the DOAJ, but for the=20 same reasons that moved these organizations to=20 launch the program: to make OA journals more=20 visible and useful than they already are,' said=20 Peter Suber, Open Access Advocate & Author of Open Access News. SPARC Europe is an alliance of 110 research-led=20 university libraries from 14 European countries.=20 It is affiliated with SPARC based in Washington,=20 D.C., which represents over 200 institutions,=20 mainly in North America. SPARC Europe and SPARC=20 work to develop and promote new models of=20 scholarly communication that increase the access=20 to and utility of the research literature. Lund University Libraries has developed a number=20 of digital library services and has been=20 operating the Directory of Open Access Journals=20 since May 2003 starting with 300 journals.

That for a change to be permanent, it has to do two things. First, the new technology has to do something not possible with the old technology---and two, failing to have that new technology has to be a disadvantage to those without it. This one-two punch is what distinguishes changes that will displace older technology. In the transition to digital studies of the humanities, there is always a lot of enthusiasm by advocates of a new technology for the new capabilities, but the problem is that the old methods still work--and sometimes aspects of what they offer isn't being displaced by the new technology. Reading text, for example, isn't improved using a computer screen, tablet computer, etc. We tolerate reading via a computer, we don't immediately grab a new paper book we've acquired and scan it into a computer so that we can better read it. Comprehension of what text means isn't improved when it is in a computer as that comprehension takes place in people's minds. For the digital humanities to triumph over plain old paper-based humanities, it has to exhibit the one-two punch of evolutionary advancement. As Williard said, someone not using the new method has to feel they are at a definite disadvantage--not just that what you've done is new and different.

It could be that Bamboo is trying to change the relationships, but we need to wait until after the first round of workshops to see what kind of model emerges. I hope it's more along the lines of the IETF than Internet2 Middleware. I've seen the results of both, and I much prefer the IETF way of developing standards. My university is planning on participating, so I'm anxiously awaiting news through that channel. I'm developing open source that supports DH projects. I'm trying to do what Bamboo wants to do, but without a committee or an 18 month planning period (I'm tasked with having something in production in that time frame). I'm glad that Bamboo is around and stirring up these conversations. I'll be watching it for cues because I want anything I produce to be open and interoperable with other applications. The fundamental problem I'm solving with my development is how to maximize agency for the humanist while minimizing the amount of computer programming they have to do. I'm doing this is by creating a web-based environment where humanists can manage knowledge and develop presentations that allow the exploration of that knowledge. The broad goal is to allow the humanist to describe to the computer what they want and have the computer figure out how to do it. Everything I'm doing is built on the assumption that we're working within the semantic web. That assumption brings with it a host of tools and standards that I don't have to develop. Not every DH project will fit there, but I think many will -- enough that it's worth exploring. With the semantic web and existing tools such as Omeka, we might not need Bamboo developing software. It might best serve as a community that brings everyone together only for the conversations, much like mailing lists and conferences do for the open source community. If this is the case, then what might at first appear to be a top-down development model becomes a bottom-up, grassroots effort instead. I divide the world of DH projects with two axes. Is the project trying to be definitive, or just informative? Is it trying to synthesize or create new knowledge? The World Shakespeare Bibliography (as an example close to home) is a definitive synthesis. Wikipedia is an informative synthesis. Scholars like things that are definitive. What can we do to push projects from synthesis to exploration? How can we go from the traditional narrative of the monograph to an on- line exploration that conveys to someone else what we've discovered, and in the process lets them discover something new? Folksonomies push projects towards the informative while reputation- based work pushes projects towards the definitive. I think combining the two -- allowing anyone on the Internet to contribute to a project and weighting their input based on their reputation -- might be one avenue to creating a project that not only can be informative and definitive, but also allow researchers to explore and discover narratives. The Internet allows us to do something that could never be done before: let everyone participate in a project. Let all 6 billion people enter data and see it and explore it. This would be Google Page Rank for human knowledge. The PI in this case is just the person trying to keep some kind of order in the chaos -- their job is to manage the framing of questions instead of hiring legions of graduate students to enter data or scan documents. This kind of project elevates those involved from just creating a website to building a community. Everyone involved is able to bring their expertise to the table as equals. How do we manage reputation? It's a computationally complex task, but one that has social consequences. How do we remember everyone's input, but present the aggregate? What if my aggregate needs to be different than your aggregate? How much do we trust that aggregate? Which one is most trusted? Can we do all of this dynamically? Suddenly, there is no single privileged narrative. Anyone can build any narrative they want as long as the data supports it. -- James Smith Texas A&M University, College of Liberal Arts Digital Humanities Lead Developer +1.979.845.3050 Return-Path: Received: from fep14.clear.net.nz (fep14 [192.168.16.115]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JZV007UQDK3CJ40@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:16:58 +1200 (NZST) Received: from mxin3-orange.clear.net.nz (lb2-srcnat.clear.net.nz [203.97.32.237]) by mx6.clear.net.nz (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0JZV00ASRDK4V9D2@mx6.clear.net.nz> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:16:53 +1200 (NZST) Received: from postoffice05.princeton.edu (HELO Princeton.EDU) ([128.112.133.189]) by mxin3-orange.clear.net.nz with ESMTP; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:16:52 +1200 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Received: from smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.65]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m3P7DeTv027717; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:13:40 -0400 (EDT) X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Received: from lists.Princeton.EDU (listsv440.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.10]) by smtpserver1.Princeton.EDU (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m3P4F4Xf016091; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:13:12 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 15.0) with spool id 19719935 for humanist@LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:06:27 -0400 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.0.6002.18463 Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice06.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.8]) by lists.Princeton.EDU (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m3P73V5A000204 for ; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:03:31 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice06.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.8]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m3P73V6S023808 for ; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:03:31 -0400 (EDT) Received: from emfw3.Princeton.EDU (emfw3.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.100]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m3P73UqD023806 for ; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:03:30 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mail83.messagelabs.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emfw3.Princeton.EDU (Spam Firewall) with ESMTP id 37450125D5AA for ; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:03:23 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mail83.messagelabs.com (mail83.messagelabs.com [195.245.231.83]) by emfw3.Princeton.EDU with ESMTP id 7wNnH38GrhPEzNBV for ; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:03:23 -0400 (EDT) Received: (qmail 22913 invoked from network); Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:03:28 +0000 Received: from outbound.kcl.ac.uk (HELO outbound.kcl.ac.uk) (137.73.2.214) by server-15.tower-83.messagelabs.com with AES256-SHA encrypted SMTP; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:03:28 +0000 Received: from relay2.kcl.ac.uk ([137.73.2.210] helo=elder) by outbound.kcl.ac.uk outbound with esmtp (TLSv1:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:256) id 1JpHxp-0002EQ-69 for humanist@princeton.edu; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 08:03:21 +0100 Received: from wolf.mccarty.me.uk ([81.2.73.74] helo=WOLF.kcl.ac.uk) by elder smtp with esmtp (TLSv1:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:256) id 1JpHxd-0001ys-07 for humanist@princeton.edu; Fri, 25 Apr 2008 08:03:10 +0100 Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 08:06:15 +0100 From: "Humanist Discussion Group \(by way of Willard McCarty \)" Subject: 21.667 events X-Originating-IP: [137.73.2.214] Sender: "Humanist Discussion Group" Approved-by: willard@LISTS.VILLAGE.VIRGINIA.EDU X-Envelope-To: ccreegan@clear.net.nz To: X-To: Humanist Discussion Group Reply-To: "Humanist Discussion Group \(by way of Willard McCarty \)" Message-ID: <20080425070323.37450125D5AA@emfw3.Princeton.EDU> MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 7.1.0.9 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="us-ascii" Precedence: list X-ASG-Debug-ID: 1209107003-3b7001a40000-M4gYpI X-Barracuda-URL: http://128.112.129.100:8000/cgi-bin/mark.cgi X-VirusChecked: Checked X-Env-Sender: willard.mccarty@kcl.ac.uk X-Msg-Ref: server-15.tower-83.messagelabs.com!1209107008!6260431!1 X-StarScan-Version: 5.5.12.14.2; banners=-,-,- X-ASG-Orig-Subj: 21.667 events X-KCLSpamScore: 0 X-KCLRealSpamScore: 0.0 X-KCLZStatus: 0 X-KCLSpamReport: X-KCL-MailScanner: Found to be clean X-MailScanner-From: willard.mccarty@kcl.ac.uk X-Barracuda-Connect: mail83.messagelabs.com[195.245.231.83] X-Barracuda-Start-Time: 1209107004 X-Barracuda-Virus-Scanned: by Barracuda Spam Firewall at Princeton.EDU X-Proofpoint-Virus-Version: vendor=nai engine=5.2.00 definitions=5281 signatures=388831 X-Proofpoint-Spam-Details: rule=quarantine_notspam policy=quarantine score=0 spamscore=0 ipscore=0 phishscore=0 bulkscore=8 adultscore=0 classifier=spam adjust=0 reason=mlx engine=3.1.0-0804140000 definitions=main-0804240245 X-Spam-KB: http://www.Princeton.EDU/spam List-Owner: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: List-Help: , Original-recipient: rfc822;ccreegan@clear.net.nz X-EsetId: E082DD219BF97E34BAC782 X-EsetScannerBuild: 11806 Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 21, No. 667.

If the workshop does not fill it will also be possible to register on-site Friday at 1pm, before the workshop begins.** Digitization of Primary Materials for Medievalists: A Workshop Sponsored by the Medieval Academy of America's Committee on Electronic Resources Hosted by the Western Michigan University Libraries' Digitization Center Friday, May 9, 1:30-5:00 The process of digitization project planning is essential for endeavors large and small. Every project to digitize medieval primary sources, whether undertaken by major libraries or by individual scholars, must take into account issues of legality (can I post these digital images on the web?), equipment (can I use a flatbed scanner, or should I use a camera?), specifications (300 or 600 dpi? And what's dpi??) and metadata standards (what's metadata?). Our seminar, "Elements of Digitization Project Planning" will describe why a Digitization Project Plan is essential for every project, and will go over what each element of a project plan entails. We will discuss the nine elements of successful project planning, and show resources and references for developing digitization project plans. Experienced professionals, including librarians and image experts, will share their expertise and provide examples of previous successful project plans. We will also cover other important aspects of digitization technology, including the methodology and technology of digital preservation. Registration is $50 for MAA members and $65 for non-members. To register, contact Dot Porter at dporter@uky.edu. Space is limited to 35. -- *************************************** Dot Porter, University of Kentucky ##### Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities http://www.rch.uky.edu Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments http://www.vis.uky.edu dporter@uky.edu 859-257-1257 x.82115 *************************************** --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:44:22 +0100 From: Susanna Mornati Subject: ELPUB 2008 Open Scholarship June 25-27 Toronto *** Apologies for cross postings *** ELPUB 2008 Open Scholarship: Authority, Community and Sustainability in the Age of Web 2.0 *Early bird fee is closed on April 30th, 2008.* Registration for the 12th International Conference on Electronic Publishing, to be held in Toronto June 25-27 2008, is still open: early bird fees available until April 30.

In order to keep with past ELPUB tradition, conference enrollment is limited to 200 individuals (including speakers). We encourage you to register online as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. We look forward to welcoming you to Toronto this June! About ELPUB 2008: Scholarly communications, and in particular scholarly publications, are undergoing tremendous changes. Researchers, universities, funding bodies, research libraries and publishers are responding in different ways, from active experimentation with new models and adaptation of existing practices, to strong resistance or rejection of new communication methods. ELPUB 2008 will focus on a number of key issues surrounding the future of scholarly communications that arise as a result of the intersection of semantic web technologies, the development of cyberinfrastructure for the humanities and the sciences, and new dissemination channels and business models. The three-day event will begin with a full day of technical workshops. The following two days will feature contributed papers examining a broad range of technical, conceptual, policy, and financial aspects of scholarly communication. Poster presentations and demonstrations of new publishing and research tools will form part of the program. A plenary session on funding and access policies for publicly funded research, and a special session on open access developments in transitional and developing countries will round out the program. The conference will begin and end with special keynotes by John Willinsky and Stevan Harnad. The final agenda for the conference will be available online in late April, after the peer-review of submitted papers has been completed and acceptances have been confirmed.

The training is designed for epigraphers and papyrologists (or related text editors such as numismatists, sigillographers, etc.) who would like to learn the skills and tools required to mark up ancient documents for publication (online or on paper), and interchange with international academic standards. You can learn more about EpiDoc from the EpiDoc home page [1] and the Introduction for Epigraphers [2]; you wil find a recent and user-friendly article on the subject in the Digital Medievalist [3]. (If you want to go further, you can learn about XML [4] and about the principles of the Text Encoding Initiative [5].) The Summer School will not expect any technical expertise, and training in basic XML will be provided. Attendees (who should be familiar with Greek/Latin and the Leiden Conventions) will need to bring a laptop on which has been installed the Oxygen XML editor [6] (available at a reduced academic price, or for a free 30-day demo). The EpiDoc Summer School is free to participants; we can try to help you find cheap (student) accommodation in London. If any students participating would like to stay on afterwards and acquire some hands-on experience marking up some texts for the Inscriptions of Roman Cyrenaica project [7], they would be most welcome! All interested please contact both charlotte.roueche@kcl.ac.uk and gabriel.bodard@kcl.ac.uk as soon as possible. Please pass on this message to anyone who you think might benefit.

This online archive of syllabi, e-prints, web links, and other digital resources is intended to serve as a starting point for students and scholars who are exploring the arts, culture, and civil society in their courses and/or research. These major topic areas are related to many important theoretical concerns for contemporary social criticism, political theory, and cultural policy-making. The collected materials span a wide range of disciplines, analytical frameworks, and locations. Topics range from the nature of current-day urban formations, nation-states, and local communities to the analysis of power, modernity, and discourse as related to the arts. One key aim of the ACCS project is to represent a wide range of approaches and resources related to the study of politics, culture, and the arts in our contemporary global society. Please direct all questions or comments about ACCS to cddc@vt.edu. We also welcome your contributions and suggestions as we continue to expand the archive.

The Seminar meets once each month, usually on Thursday evenings, 17.30 to 19.30, in Senate House, Malet Street, London. Any topic relating to the intersection of digital methods and textual scholarship, including but not limited to literary studies, is welcome. Papers from the Seminar are collected, edited by the convenor of the Seminar and published in a volume by Palgrave. Seminars for 2007-8 are listed below. The Seminar focuses on the ways in which the digital medium remakes the relationship of readers, writers, scholars, technical practitioners and designers to the manuscript and printed book. Its discussions are intended to inform public debate and policy as well as to stimulate research and provide a broad forum in which to present its results. Although the forum is primarily for those working in textual and literary studies, history of the book, humanities computing and related fields, its mandate is to address and involve an audience of non-specialists. Wherever possible the issues it raises are meant to engage all those who are interested in a digital future for the book. The Seminar is deeply rooted in the history of textual production and its scholarship but is preoccupied with the future. It takes as its starting point Alan Turing's principle of computing as a scheme for constructing indefinitely many machines -- from which we derive the practice of constructing indefinitely many varieties of the digital book. Its question is not how to arrive at the best successors to this or that existing form or the best configuration of libraries to house and manage the products, rather how continuously to remake the digital book and its environment so that they serve "the living condition of the human mind" (Peirce). The Seminar explores through practical experiment the changing ways in which this continuous remaking is to be done and both the challenges it poses and the opportunities it offers to our institutions. If you are interested in proposing a Seminar, please send e-mail to the undersigned. Yours, WM ----- London Seminar in Digital Text and Scholarship 2007-8 October Speaker: David Ganz (King's College London) 'Medieval Libraries in the Digital Age' Abstract: In this talk I shall briefly survey our evidence for the contents and use of libraries in the Latin West from 800 to 1500, and then discuss various projects for making medieval manuscripts available online: including the Codices Electinici of Cologne and St Gall, the British Library Digital Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts (with which I have been involved) and the Digital Scriptorium. In addition I shall speak about the UCLA St Gall library project, which seeks to combine the evidence of surviving manuscripts and of medieval library catalogues. November Speaker: Paul Eggert (University of New South Wales) 'Text as Algorithm and as Process: A Critique' Abstract: Some fundamental questions about the nature of texts have been asked by members of the encoding community as they have struggled to define what it is that they are encoding. This ought not to be surprising. The act of encoding involves a blatant intervention in text-files of a kind that scholarly editors in the print domain are normally shielded from, however heroic their emendation of corrupted wording may be. They have typically treated many aspects of the physical presentation of text as irrelevant to their pursuit. However, this self-preserving instinct finds itself in a tighter corner in the electronic domain where complete specification is crucial for computer processing. The different requirements of the medium can help to throw new light on some of the enduring questions of what texts are and how they function. Recent commentary has been tending in this direction, bringing bibliography and some aspects of editorial theory to bear on electronic texts. The lecture will * inspect some of the recent text-encoding debate, concentrating on the proposals put forward by Jerome G. McGann in his fertile yet provoking book Radiant Textuality (2001), and * model, provisionally at least, a theory of textuality that is equally a theory of electronic textuality; and, thus armed, * comment on the less (and in some ways more) ambitious proposals put forward by Peter Shillingsburg in From Gutenberg to Google (2006) December Speaker: Jan-Christoph Meister (Hamburg) 'The Myth of the Digital or: Why Humanities Computing is Really Business as Usual' Abstract: Since the 1990s the notion of 'the digital' has been one of the best traded concepts in contemporary discourse. Accompanied by reactions that range from the enthusiastic proclamation of the new age of IT to the prophesy of humanism's ultimate cultural demise, the manichean response to technology ignores some interesting facts: at a sensory level, our senses are perfectly able to identify the proposed dichotomy as a continuum--so why shouldn't out mind be able to do this at a cognitive level, too? My paper attempts to illustrates some aspects of sensory base level operations and reflects on the methodological and philosophical implications of these findings for HC. January Speaker: James E. Tierney (Missouri-St. Louis) 'British Periodicals, 1660-1800: An Electronic Index' Abstract: After noting the confusion among scholars of the past century regarding the term 'periodical' and then offering some parameters for defining the term, this paper will point up the importance of the periodical to modern scholars who would attempt to write a history of the age's culture. The first major concern of this paper, however, will involve a review of existing research resources for the study of the periodical: the dispora of original copies and the limited coverage of titles found in the principal microfilms collections; the incomplete and unreliable evidence offered by printed and on-line catalogues and finding lists; and the lack of a comprehensive bibliography of secondary studies. The second movement of the paper will take up those projects --primarily electronic--either planned or currently in progress that will attempt to address some of the deficiencies of existing resources. These include the production of digitized texts of the periodicals complete with the search capability, the creation of a new census of eighteenth-century periodicals, and this writer's own electronic index to the contents of the periodicals. The final section of the paper will summarize the expected state of research resources once all of these new products are in place, and then go on to identify continuing areas of weakness and to reflect on the prospects of ever supplying these needs in the light of the obstacles that must be faced. February Speakers: Andrew Prescott (Wales, Lampeter) 'Digital Manuscripts: Retrospect and Prospects' Abstract: It is only thirteen years since the first digital images of medieval manuscripts were made available over the internet, frequently with great fanfares of publicity. Today, digital images of hundreds of medieval manuscripts are freely available. Yet these images seem only to be used in a limited fashion and the availability of these images seem to have had few research results. This paper will review the various ways in which images have been made available and consider the factors that have influenced their presentation and dissemination. It will identify issues which need to be addressed to encourage future use of this burgeoning collection of material by researchers and will consider how far existing metadata requirements address the needs of researchers. The viability and need for an 'observatory of digital manuscripts' will be considered. [March Seminar cancelled due to illness] April Speaker: Marilyn Deegan (King's College London) 'I've read the news today, oh boy!' Abstract: The desire to receive and impart news is part of our social fabric: we all want to know 'what's new?' or 'what's up?' with our friends, families or neighbours; as well as what is happening on a local, national, or international scale. As Mitchell Stephens observes, 'the frenzied, obsessive exchange of news is one of the oldest human activities'. Newspapers have been one of the key fora for news, debate, review, and comment for more than 200 years, have always utilized the most advanced technologies for their production and dissemination, and were among the most prolific and significant textual objects of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The advent of digital and communication technologies is bringing huge changes, not just in the production and dissemination of newspapers, but in the collecting of news, the writing of comment, and in the division of labout between professional and amateur in journalism, with the rise of new practices like 'citizen journalism' that are blurring the boundaries between reader and writer. This paper will examine the effect that technological and social networking developments are having on newspaper publishing, and will look at some of the new trends in news reporting that look to affect newspapers profoundly as textual and cultural objects.

DHCS Colloquium, November 1st - 3rd, 2008 Submission Deadline: August 31st, 2008 The goal of the annual Chicago Digital Humanities/Computer Science (DHCS) Colloquium is to bring together researchers and scholars in the Humanities and Computer Sciences to examine the current state of Digital Humanities as a field of intellectual inquiry and to identify and explore new directions and perspectives for future research. In 2006, the first DHCS Colloquium examined the challenges and opportunities posed by the "million books" digitization projects. The second DHCS Colloquium in 2007 focused on searching and querying both as tools and methodologies. The theme of the third Chicago DHCS Colloquium is "Making Sense"- an exploration of how meaning is created and apprehended at the transitions of the digital and the analog. We encourage submissions from scholars and researchers on all topics that intersect current theory and practice in the Humanities and Computer Science.

Etzioni was the founder of Farecast, a company that utilizes data mining techniques to anticipate airfare fluctuations, and the KnowItAll project, which is is building domain-independent systems to extract information from the Web in an autonomous, scalable manner. Etzioni has published extensively in his field and served as an Associate Editor of the ACM Transactions on the Web and on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, amongst others. Stephen Downie is Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research interests include the design and evaluation of IR systems, including multimedia music information retrieval, the political economy of inter-networked communication systems, database design and web-based technologies. Downie is the principal investigator of the International Music Information Retrieval Systems Evaluation Laboratory (IMIRSEL), which is working on producing a large, secure corpus of audio and symbolic music data accessible to the music information retrieval (MIR) community. Martin Wattenberg is a computer scientist and new media artist whose work focuses on the visual explorations of culturally significant data. He is the founding manager of IBM's Visual Communication Lab, which researches new forms of visualization and how they can enable better collaboration. The lab's latest project is Many Eyes, an experiment in open, public data visualization and analysis. Wattenberg is also known for his visualization-based artwork, which has been exhibited in venues such as the London Institute of Contemporary Arts, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the New York Museum of Modern Art.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/cch/research/publications/humanist.html www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist@princeton.edu Date: Thu, 01 May 2008 07:05:13 +0100 From: Neven Jovanovic Subject: Literate programming and scholarly editing In the final phases of preparing an edition of a 16th century Latin text with 13 textual witnesses, I am thinking about all the undocumented editorial decisions I made. Philologists usually make a decision --- you have to print something --- and leave out the reasoning why they did it, informing the readers just about variant readings. Main reason for this is restricted space available in the printed book (another reason is somewhat snobbish: anybody who knows Latin, or my author, as well as I do, will understand why I did it). Here I notice a parallel with programming: it seems that code often gets written undocumented (because the machine will understand it). That is why Donald Knuth came up with the idea of literate programming. What would we get if we applied the idea of literate programming to scholarly editing, i. e. if we documented and explained each editorial decision? Would we just waste energy? Would we just bore the reader, clog and clutter? But, in a digital edition, editorial decisions do not have to be displayed until needed. And, if motivating the decisions were done in a systematical way, afterwards we could prepare a statistical overview of what we have done --- analyse types of interventions, rank them by frequency, by certainty, etc. This would be an edition reviewing itself. Am I inventing hot water (as they say around here)? Has this already been done, and many times? If so, would you tell me where, and how (I'm interested in tools and techniques for such "literate editing")?

Read his interview with Ubiquity, and then explore his blogs. * Also, we offer you the interesting paper "Triple Level Data Security" by Swarnendu Mukerjee, Swarnendu Bhattacharya, and Amlan Chaudhury of the Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata, India. They propose an algorithmic approach to data security in which. along with the combination of cryptography and steganography (taken as security layers), an extra layer of security is imposed in between them to obtain a completely secured data transmission scheme.

And I find the question of the fair and productive use of labour online, including academic labour, one of the most interesting at the moment. For instance 'My Experiment, a project from the Science community here in the UK, is a good model of 'online collaboration' as it 'saves' (or efficiently uses) academic labour through the process of sharing academic energies and resources. It doesn't add unnecessary layers to the research process, but perhaps does what computing has always promised to do, and this is make our tasks more efficient and less labour intensive. http://www.myexperiment.org We are probably on the verge of some major structural shifts in how universities manage academic labour through their computing networks and indeed this is reflected in broader social and economic arrangements. The city where I live, London, is the archetype of post-industrial city that doesn't make a damn thing. All London makes are sandwiches for people who work in offices. It is almost impossible to get a decent pair of locally made boots and the idea of an English made car is a foreign to England in the 21st Century as sheep and whale blubber are to modern Australians. The point is that a lot of universities and large organisations are building systems (cyberinfrastructure or otherwise) that exploit labour of some form, but often without an equal understanding of the labour relationships that occur through these systems. The value of any collaborative system, that are increasingly being used by humanists everywhere, is the value of the small steps taken to reach useful intellectual goals. However, it is how these small steps are managed and exploited that raises some very interesting questions. Are we creating ill-considered 'Dikensian' factories of the mind, or are we using our efforts and energies wisely to build useful knowledge about the world where we still critique the tools are our disposal to reach those goals? Kind regards, Craig Bellamy Message: 1 Date: Thu, 1 May 2008 07:59:37 -0400 From: Burak Arikan To: idc@mailman.thing.net Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi everyone, Today is May Day, we celebrate the social and economic achievements of the labor movement ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Labor_movement ). In this important day, we wanted to announce our project User Labor. User Labor Markup Language (ULML), is an open data structure to outline the metrics of user participation in social web services. Our aim is to construct criteria and context for determining the value of user labor for distribution. We believe that universality, transparency, and accessibility of user labor metrics will ultimately lead to more sustainable service cycles in social web. Please see the examples on the User Labor website. Your feedback and contribution is very important to improve this project. http://userlabor.org/ Thank you, Burak -- Dr Craig Bellamy Research Associate Centre for eResearch (CeRch) King's College, London http://ahds.ac.uk/ictguides/ ----- 26 - 29 Drury Lane 3rd Floor King's College London LONDON, WC2B 5RL Phone: 020 7848 1976 Return-Path: Received: from fep13.clear.net.nz (fep13 [192.168.16.114]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0K0800G0V8ZEGV80@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz;
