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: Wed, 07 May 2008 08:17:55 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: the 21st time around the Maypole Today is Humanist's 21st birthday! Some of you have been around since the very beginning, many for many years. So most everyone here knows that on 7 May every year I post a HAPPY BIRTHDAY message, taking a bit of time out not just to celebrate longevity but also to reflect on Humanist's conceptual wanderings during the year. This time allow me to do these things by drawing your attention to four bits of writing, whose conjunction to my mind sums up what this whatever-it-is has been about since it began, in 1987, when the humanities were nearing the end of their palaeo-electronic age. I come to the following construction because the necessarily extra-/inter-disciplinary position of humanities computing gives us quite a balancing act to perform, help with which is never superfluous. To put this another way, it is useful if not vital for us to be reminded that being in play rather than at rest, or in still another way, remaining in conversation rather than at the conclusion of whatever argument (or worse, persuaded by whatever sales-pitch), is the trick perpetually to be performed. We need our wakeup calls. So I give you the following: (1) The first three paragraphs in the Preface to Erwin Schrödinger, What is Life? (1943), in which he states his excuse for venturing beyond his area of specialization (theoretical physics, that is): >A scientist is supposed to have a complete and >thorough knowledge, at first hand, of some >subjects and, therefore, is usually expected not >to write on any topic of which he is not a >master. This is regarded as a matter of noblesse >oblige. For the present purpose I beg to >renounce the noblesse, if any, and to be freed >of the ensuing obligation. My excuse is as follows: > >We have inherited from our forefathers the keen >longing for unified, all-embracing knowledge. >The very name given to the highest institutions >of learning reminds us, that from antiquity and >throughout many centuries the universal aspect >has been the only one to be given full credit. >But the spread, both in width and depth, of the >multifarious branches of knowledge during the >last hundred odd years has confronted us with a >queer dilemma. We feel clearly that we are only >now beginning to acquire reliable material for >welding together the sum total of all that is >known into a whole; but, on the other hand, it >has become next to impossible for a single mind >fully to command more than a small specialized version of it. > >I can see no other escape from this dilemma >(lest our true aim be lost forever) than that >some of us should venture to embark on a >synthesis of facts and theories, albeit with >second-hand and incomplete knowledge of some of >them -- and at the risk of making fools of ourselves. (2) John Ziman, "Emerging out of nature into history: the plurality of the sciences", in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, London 361 (2003): 1617-33, of which here I give the abstract (the whole thing is in JSTOR): >The idea of a 'theory of everything' is >inconsistent with a natural feature of >biological evolution: the spontaneous emergence >of composite entities with completely new >properties. At successively higher levels of >complexity, from elementary particles and >chemical molecules, through unicellular and >multicellular organisms, to self-aware human >beings and their cultural institutions, we find >systems obeying entirely novel principles. The >behaviour of such systems is not predictable >from the properties of their constituents, so >distinct 'languages' are required to describe >them scientifically. The plurality of our >sciences is thus an irreducible feature of the >universe we live in. In particular, the >reversible time coordinate of mathematical >physics cannot cope with the natural 'path >dependence' of biology. In the human sciences >this extends into the imagined future as well as >the remembered past. Furthermore, science >nowadays usually arises in localized social >contexts, where the 'logic of the situation' is >continually being transformed by the emergence >of cultural novelties such as unpredictable >technological innovations. Thus, scientific >knowledge cannot be restricted to generalized >synchronic models, but involves historical >narratives of specific events and unforeseen circumstances. (3) G. R. Lloyd, Cognitive Variations: Reflections on the Unity and Diversity of the Human Mind (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2007), of which I will quote the first paragraph from the Preface: >This book derives from the interests that I have >had, over many years, in comparing the cognitive >capacities displayed and the modes of reasoning >used by the members of different societies, >ancient and modern. What are the commonalities >that link us all as human beings? What is the >extent, and what are the limits, to human >variability in this domain? Claims for >cross-cultural universals have been made, in >recent years especially, in such areas as colour >perception, animal classification, and the >emotions. How robust is the evidence for these? >At what points and in what respects do we have >to acknowledge that cognition varies as between >individuals or collectivities, in response to >cultural, linguistic, or even physical factors? (4) Ian Hacking, "How Shall We Repaint the Kitchen?" Rev. of Cognitive Variations, as above. London Review of Books 29.21 (1 November 2007), from which I quote the final paragraph (Hacking's "nature and nurture" being the poles between which Lloyd's argument has proceeded): >Nature and nurture are not exhaustive; indeed, >the action is mostly at the interplay between >the two. They should be regarded only as >signposts. Moreover, you should not assume that >nature gives what is universal in the human >condition, while nurture produces all the >variety. There is of course tremendous regional >variety in peoples around the globe, and lots of >cognitive variability within a single family; >conversely, there may be many facts about the >very possibility of human societies that make >for the cultural universals urged by >anthropologists as different as Claude Lévi-Strauss >and Mary Douglas. If I read the situation correctly, current writings in the history of science favour (2) over (1), e.g. Peter Galison's argument for "specific theory" (Critical Inquiry 30, Winter 2004) or Nancy Cartwright's "deeply dappled" world (The Dappled World: A Study of the Boundaries of Science, Cambridge, 1999). Some who write about Schrödinger refer, with respect but at a distance, to his "belief" in the possibility of conceptual unification. No one I know remarks on his breathtaking intellectual bravery. Lloyd's beautiful little book puts the swings and roundabouts of such argument into a large historical and geographical context. But Hacking's review (which I'll send to anyone who asks) makes the point I think we need to have before us: "the action is mostly at the interplay between the two [universalism & particularism]. They should be regarded only as signposts." I suppose one could say in the spirit of his point that interdisciplinarity, such as we have before us to practice, is a way of acting in that interplay -- and of never coming to rest or tumbling into one ditch or the other. Ziman's strong argument keeps us honest -- not respecting the differences makes identities impossible -- but also points the bravery of Schrödinger, to venture not just where no one has gone before but where the going has no conclusion and admits of no certainty. Humanist hasn't a singular axe to grind, rather as many axes as can be found. But the grinding of axes (allow me to follow the metaphor, if you please) for the chopping of wood, to build our dwellings, keep us warm and cook our food, is the singular activity it is most certainly about. I suppose this 21st birthday -- to be celebrated, note well, at the Digital Humanities conference in Oulu, Finland, the last week of June (be there or be square) -- can signify some sort of maturity, which among other things means having that aboutness in mind. It means realising that although a sharp axe is at any one time the goal of grinding, when one looks back and considers all the wood chopped, it's the grinding that is to be celebrated. Axes, however substantial, come and go, get dull, and so need grinding again. Looking back on these first 21 years of axe-grinding, what strikes me is the potent mixture of stubbornness and love in equal measure that have kept it going. Or perhaps I should say, the stubbornness of love. Humanist certainly won't live forever. But even the most fragile of human productions -- notably ideas -- have longevity measured in millennia. Not that Humanist is anywhere near as epochal as the idea of the library or the idea of the university, but it participates in the elaboration, indeed in the defense of these ancient ideas. I here invite you to join me in optimism despite the formidable janitocracy by which we are currently managed. And so, in optimism, as we build our digital scholarly worlds, we need to be working quite self-consciously in the tradition of such ideas, realising that these are what matter. Humanist is a place in which to discuss them. It is also a manifestation of the discussing that is fundamental to everything the humanities have always been about. Just yesterday an old friend wrote to me that "individuals make the digital humanities, not centres, which all shrivel and die". I hope he is wrong about centres, at least those we have now, and one in particular. But he is certainly right about individuals, because of what they can do -- think, love, act. This collection of individuals does these things in language, by correspondence. In the 22nd year of Humanist, as the old English proverb goes, "Be bold -- but not too bold!" And don't forget to celebrate. 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 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 In consideration of our change in speakers, the deadline for proposal submissions is now 15 June 2008 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR "DIGITIZING EARLY 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 seminar will also be invited to submit papers for a collection on "Digitizing Early Material Culture, from Antiquity to 1700," to be edited by Brent Nelson (University of Saskatchewan) and Melissa Terras (University College London) for the New Technologies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies series at MRTS (series editors Ray Siemens and William Bowen). Proposal abstracts should be sent electronically as a MS Word, WordPerfect, or pdf file to: Brent Nelson, conference committee chair, brent.nelson@usask.ca.

Although general logical formalisms (such as predicate logic or number theory) are undecidable, decidable theories or decidable fragments thereof (sometimes even with low complexity) often occur in mathematics, in program verification, in the verification of reactive, real time or hybrid systems, as well as in databases and ontologies. It is therefore important to identify such decidable fragments and design efficient decision procedures for them. It is equally important to have uniform methods (such as resolution, rewriting, tableaux, sequent calculi, ...) which can be tuned to provide algorithms with optimal complexity. The goal of CEDAR is to bring together researchers interested in problems that are in the interface between automated reasoning and computational complexity, in particular in: - identifying (fragments of) logical theories which are decidable, identifying fragments thereof which have low complexity, and analyzing possibilities of obtaining optimal complexity results with uniform tools; - analyzing decidability in combinations of theories and possibilities of combining decision procedures; - efficient implementations for decidable fragments; - application domains where decidability resp. tractability are crucial. Topics Topics of interest for CEDAR 2008 include (but are not restricted to): - Complexity: - complexity analysis for fragments of first- (or higher) order logic - complexity analysis for combinations of logical theories (including parameterized complexity results) - Expressibility (in logic, automated reasoning, algebra, ...) - Decidability: - decision procedures based on logical calculi such as: resolution, rewriting, tableaux, sequent calculi, or natural deduction - decidability in combinations of logical theories - Application domains for which complexity issues are essential (verification, security, databases, ontologies, ...) The goal of CEDAR is to bring together researchers interested in exploring the topics above, both at a theoretical level and motivated by applications, and to enhance the interaction between automated reasoning and computational complexity through invited and contributed talks. The ultimate aim is to expand the horizons of this area of research, deepen the interactions, sensibilize other people from the automated reasoning community to the complexity problems, and last but not least, offer persons working in research and development centers of software companies the possibility to get an overview of the problems.

Bailey, Jr." Subject: Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography 2007 Annual Edition [3] From: "Carolyn Kotlas" (199) Subject: TL Infobits -- April 2008 --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 May 2008 08:24:12 +0100 From: Helma Dik Subject: New version of Perseus Latin Texts under PhiloLogic Dear all, -with apologies for cross-posting- I am very happy to announce that we now have a new version of the Perseus Latin texts under PhiloLogic. http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/PERSEUS/ Click "Latin Texts and Translations" Latin texts, specifically, available through the search form at http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/PERSEUS/latin.html Googling "Perseus under Philologic" will get you to the site easily. 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 of PhiloLogic (such as KWIC concordances, frequencies, and collocation data), of special interest in the current release are: -navigation and search results better reflect expectations of classicists (standard citations, which are also browsable). -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. -possibility to limit searches in comedy to the text of individual characters. -use the Cite Lookup box to navigate directly to your destination. Citations typically follow the OLD. It should be clear that there is both significant overlap with capabilities at Perseus and significant differences. This complementary implementation 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. I look forward to further cooperative projects. Comments welcome! Please use the "Report a Problem" link to notify us of anything from textual errors to bugs in the system. In periodic (not instantaneous!) updates, we will try to address as many of these as possible. Enjoy!

Report on E-Learning Returns on Investment Information Searching Behavior of "Google Generation" Students Publishing Policies for Faculty Authors and Open Access Using Leisure Devices in the Learning Environment Recommended Reading ...................................................................... REPORT ON E-LEARNING RETURNS ON INVESTMENT "Within the academic community there remains a sizable proportion of sceptics who question the value of some of the tools and approaches and perhaps an even greater proportion who are unaware of the full range of technological enhancements in current use. Amongst senior managers there is a concern that it is often difficult to quantify the returns achieved on the investment in such technologies. . . . JISC infoNet, the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) and The Higher Education Academy were presented with the challenge of trying to make some kind of sense of the diversity of current e-learning practice across the sector and to seek out evidence that technology-enhanced learning is delivering tangible benefits for learners, teachers and institutions." The summary of the project is presented in the recently-published report, "Exploring Tangible Benefits of e-Learning: Does Investment Yield Interest?" Some benefits were hard to measure and quantify, and the case studies were limited to only sixteen institutions. However, according to the study, there appears to be "clear evidence" of many good returns on investment in e-learning. These include improved student pass rates, improved student retention, and benefits for learners with special needs. A copy of the report is available at http://www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/publications/camel-tangible-benefits.pdf A two-page briefing paper is available at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/publications/bptangiblebenefitsv1.pdf JISC infoNet, a service of the Joint Information Systems Committee, "aims to be the UK's leading advisory service for managers in the post-compulsory education sector promoting the effective strategic planning, implementation and management of information and learning technology."

INFORMATION SEARCHING BEHAVIOR OF "GOOGLE GENERATION" STUDENTS The British Library and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) commissioned a study "to identify how the specialist researchers of the future, currently in their school or pre-school years (the 'Google generation'), are likely to access and interact with digital resources in five to ten years' time." How this group uses the Internet for information and research has implications for both instructors and librarians. Some of the group's characteristics revealed in the study conclude that: --they "have a poor understanding of their information needs and thus find it difficult to develop effective search strategies" -- they "have unsophisticated mental maps of what the internet is, often failing to appreciate that it is a collection of networked resources from different providers" -- they "find it difficult to assess the relevance of the materials presented and often print off pages with no more than a perfunctory glance at them" A number of popular myths about the Google generation were explored, with the researchers concluding that many popularly-held beliefs about the generation are, in fact, not substantiated by the research. The study's report "Information Behaviour of the Researcher of the Future" (January 2008) is available at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/programmes/reppres/gg_final_keynote_11012008.pdf The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) is a strategic advisory committee working on behalf of the funding bodies for further and higher education in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

PUBLISHING POLICIES FOR FACULTY AUTHORS AND OPEN ACCESS "[O]n February 12, 2008, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) at Harvard University took a landmark step. The faculty voted to adopt a policy requiring that faculty authors send an electronic copy of their scholarly articles to the university's digital repository and that faculty authors automatically grant copyright permission to the university to archive and to distribute these articles unless a faculty member has waived the policy for a particular article. Essentially, the faculty voted to make open access to the results of their published journal articles the default policy for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University." The SPARC/Science Commons White Paper "Open Doors and Open Minds: What Faculty Authors Can Do to Ensure Open Access to Their Work Through Their Institution" (April 2008) describes Harvard's policy and provides a plan of action for other institutions contemplating similar policies to extend access to faculty publications. The paper is available at http://www.arl.org/sparc/bm~doc/opendoors_v1.pdf SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, is "an international alliance of academic and research libraries working to correct imbalances in the scholarly publishing system. Developed by the Association of Research Libraries, SPARC has become a catalyst for change. Its pragmatic focus is to stimulate the emergence of new scholarly communication models that expand the dissemination of scholarly research and reduce financial pressures on libraries."

USING LEISURE DEVICES IN THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT "[T]he blurring of leisure and learning has corroded the respect that is necessary to commence a scholarly journey." In "Learning to Leisure? Failure, Flame, Blame, Shame, Homophobia and Other Everyday Practices in Online Education" (JOURNAL OF LITERACY AND TECHNOLOGY, vol. 9, no. 1, April 2008, pp. 36-61), Juliet Eve and Tara Brabazon "map a singular teaching hypothesis: when using platforms most frequently positioned in leisure-based environments, such as the iPod, text messaging, and discussion fora, there are institutional and ideological blockages to creating a successful learning experience and scholarly environment." From their in-class experimentation and the work of other researchers, they observed that the "user-generated content 'movement' -- including Flickr, wikimedia, blogs, podcasting, MySpace, Facebook and YouTube -- has provided a channel and venue for the emotive excesses of grievance, hostility and insolence against teachers, students and education."

Chronologies have been put together, notably by Susan Hockey, but as many here will know, we don't yet have a genuine history of any aspect of humanities computing. Indeed, we don't even have a proper history of computing, as Michael Mahoney has pointed out many times (see "Issues in the history of computing", www.princeton.edu/~mike/computing.html). The history I am attempting to write is in support of an argument about the future of the literary kind. The evidence I am turning up appears strongly to suggest that quite early on practitioners and commentators ran straight into deep problems that remain thorny today -- when we have the wit to talk about them. We rarely seem to do that, gripped as we are by the fever to implement, despite the possibility that we might now be in a position to do something about them. We can certainly keep them alive for the sake of our scholarly mental health. It is sobering to see the attention paid to such basics in publications such as the Times Literary Supplement all those years ago. A single example. In a review, "Keepers of rules versus players of roles", of two books on the social impact of computing, in the TLS for 21 June 1971, p. 585 (on the same page as a blurb for James Herndon's The Way It Spozed To Be, "A disturbing account of a year's teaching in a ghetto school in Washington"), the anonymous reviewer concludes thus: >Whether and, if so, how the playing of a role differs from the >application of rules which could and should be made explicit and >compatible -- this is the major epistemological problem of our time. >Computers raise it by implication. They may even help to resolve it >-- if their exponents can resist the temptation to bury it. The >temptation will be dangerously strong. Slave labour is so seductive. Indeed. That last sentence is worth holding in the mind for a time and will be especially meaningful to those here who have spent a time, or are still "eyeless in Gaza". My growing digital archive of materials may be of interest to some. If so, let me know. And allow me to whisper into the ear of anyone with their own collection of old stuff that scanning it could be a massive cottage industry -- the captaincy of which is an honour I hereby decline.

The applications are nowadays abundant, e.g. in the engineering, economy and biology areas. The Summer School on NN is dedicated to explain relevant NN paradigms, namely multilayer perceptrons (MLP), radial basis function networks (RBF) and support vector machines (SVM) used for classification and regression tasks, illustrated with applications to real data. Specific topics are also presented, namely Multi-Valued and UB Neurons , Functional Networks , MLP's with Entropic Criteria and Data Mining using NN. Classes include practical sessions with appropriate software tools. The trainee has, therefore, the opportunity to apply the taught concepts and become conversant with a broad range of NN topics and applications. A special workshop session will provide a discussion forum where the participants can obtain peer guidance for their projects.

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, 10 May 2008 09:16:04 +0100 From: "Steinberg, Jan" Subject: Development of OPUS 4 starts July, 1st 2008 Press release: Development of OPUS 4 starts July, 1st 2008 The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved funding of a new release of the institutional repository software OPUS. The project is carried out collaboratively by Stuttgart University Library, the Library Service Center Baden-Wuerttemberg, the Cooperative Library Network Berlin-Brandenburg, Saarland University and State Library, Bielefeld University Library and Hamburg University of Technology Library. The partners closely co-operate with the State and University Library Dresden. OPUS has been developed at Stuttgart University and is the most common software package for institutional repositories in Germany today (with more than 60 sites using it productively). Besides OAI it already provides interfaces to Online Library Catalogs, the German National Library (DNB), the national URN registry and to the print-on-demand service ProPrint. Development in the project will enhance this integration into service oriented infrastruc-tures for electronic publishing with special emphasis on the European DRIVER (Reposi-tories Infrastructure Vision for European Research) and the German OA-Network de-velopments. Furthermore it will look into the possibility of integrating or referencing primary scientific data and of connecting with current research information systems (CRIS). Technically development in the project will be based on the Zend framework. The partners are actively involved with the work of the DINI Working Group on Electronic Publishing. All partners are committed to develop a stable new release 4.0 of the OPUS software which will be maintained and supported well beyond the project lifetime. The project will be funded within the Division 'Scientific Library Services and Information Systems (LIS)' of the DFG for twelve months. The project starts July, 1st 2008.

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, 10 May 2008 08:54:07 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: the fragility of boundaries Somewhere Clifford Geertz observed that confrontation with anthropological data has the disturbing tendency to unseat absolutes, to relativize. So also, it seems, the study of folklore. In the case of anthropology as Geertz saw it, the confrontation with things outside our ken leads to radical questioning of whatever reality we have inherited and taken to be cosmological. In the case of folklore one source is the familiar anxiety over disciplinary boundaries: how can one say what folklore is if saying what it is not proves impossible? Another is the historical set of contingencies responsible for the existence of the discipline. Thus Bruce Jackson, in his Presidential Address to the American Folklore Society in October 1984, "Things that from a long way off look like flies", begins: >FOLKLORE STUDIES, like any other kind of studies, don't just happen. >Fields of scholarship occur because specific technological and >economic and institutional resources are available and because >specific individuals utilize those resources in specific ways. >Whatever measure of intellectual or academic freedom we enjoy takes >place in a grid defined by pre-existent theoretical and social >models which we accept or with which we must contend, with machines >that help us deal in specific ways with the implications of those >models, and with rewards available to those of us who use both >models and machines in ways that seem valuable to the payers of >salaries and the givers of grants. (Journal of American Folklore, >98.388, 1985, p. 131) Jackson looks enviously over his shaky disciplinary fence at the folks in literary studies, who to him seem far more secure -- "the objects of literary study are uniformly and equally available; we can all buy a copy or travel to the library holding a copy of whatever it is we wish to read", he declares, whereas folklore only exists to those present, when it happens out somewhere "in the field". And out there, he notes, the sense of having to make choices and construct boundaries so as to be able to know what to collect can be overwhelming. >Once out of the field, we can see and hear only selected artifacts. >The observer forever defines and limits the text to which the rest >of us shall have access, and our access to the basic materials of >our discipline, therefore, is always secondary. Whenever our work >involves primary material reported to us by others, we are not >studying folklore so much as we are studying scholarly reports of >folklore.... We often pretend that our systems of classification are >derived from the raw facts of our research, and that our theoretical >models are in turn derived from our analysis of the systems. In >fact, the process works quite the other way around: we have our >models, and from them we derive our systems of classification. That >is why the systems of classification always make such perfect sense. >And it is why the facts we find fit our systems of classification so >well: the system tells us what bits of the world are facts and what >bits are inconsequential fluff or clutter. The difference between >meaningful and meaningless in any analytical context has to do only >with whether and how something fits the analytical structure-with >whether or not the analytical structure has a way to use the >information. (pp. 132f) This sort of talk I'd suppose anathema to our knowledge engineers or ontologists, especially because Jackson is talking not about high culture, which derives its dizzying height from the brilliancies of the creative imagination and consequent demands on sophisticated interpretative abilities, but about the everyday, about what plain folk do, out there in the field (which, as Jackson illustrates, includes a polite dinner party). The manipulatory abilities of our digital tools, too little exploited by those intent on building monuments of scholarship, are of course just the thing to translate anxious fragility of categories into amazing agility for categorizing and re-categorizing raw material. That much is plain. But what about the equally plain fact of the (truly) exponentially increasing volume of data? The problem, it seems to me, is not the hermeneutic nightmare of arbitrary, unjustifiable choice but the ease with which evidence for just about anything may be found. As Northrop Frye used to say, given enough data any statement can be connected with any other statement. Now we actually have the data, at the push of that lovely button. Comments? (In any case, I do recommend you read Jackson's address, which is to be found in JSTOR, blessed be its name.)

This panel of papers will build on recent scholarship on materiality by bringing together innovative research on the theory and praxis of digitizing Renaissance material culture. Topics may address theory and/or practice in the application of digital technology to the study of material culture, including but not limited to art, architecture, cartography, the anatomical and cultural body, collections, antiquarianism and early archaeology, dramaturgy, arts and crafts, printed and manuscript materials. This panel will be sponsored by the New Technologies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies series.

These grants support projects to preserve and create intellectual access to such collections as books, journals, manuscript and archival materials, maps, still and moving images, sound recordings, art, and objects of material culture. Awards also support the creation of reference materials, online resources, and research tools of major importance to the humanities. Please note the following changes: --The application receipt deadline this year is July 31, 2008. --Research and Development applications are being accepted and should be identified as such and submitted to the July 31 deadline for Humanities Collections and Resources. --Projects proposing to unify, integrate, or aggregate humanities collections and resources are strongly encouraged. --Long-term projects without a plan to sustain the resources created by the project may allocate up to $50,000 of their request for consultants' fees or other costs associated with developing a sustainability plan. The new guidelines, which include sample proposal narratives, can be found at http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/Collections_and_Resources.html. The application receipt deadline of July 31 is for projects beginning May 2009. All applications to NEH must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov; see guidelines for details. Prospective applicants seeking further information are encouraged to contact the Division at 202-606-8570 or preservation@neh.gov. Program staff will read draft proposals submitted six weeks before the deadline. A list of the 2007 awards is available at http://www.neh.gov/news/awards/preservationFebruary2007.html. Suzanne M.

Until Humanist is fixed by the total rewrite of its software now in progress and by its move to a safer location, please send all submissions directly to me and let me know of any that are not published within a day or two. 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/.

Both Matt and Shawn will join the DHO on 30 June 2008. Shawn Day joins us from the History Department at McMaster University (Canada) where he is completing a PhD specializing in the social and economic circumstances of the nineteenth century retail liquor trade. He applies digital, spatial and social network analysis to the study of the relationships between credit, respectability, and maintaining order in the Victorian community. His most recent articles have examined the social dimensions of the Victorian public mental hospital. Using GIS and statistical modeling tools, these illuminate the significant rural component of the urban asylum and raises new questions surrounding the foreign-born who find themselves confined to the institution. Shawn is involved in a number of successful and innovative digital humanities projects throughout Canada. Most recently he has worked with large manuscript census databases in the 1871/1891 census project (University of Guelph). He is a team member of the national TAPoR text analysis portal project and the Network for Canadian History and the Environment (NiCHE). Prior to undertaking the PhD, Shawn spent a number of years in the private technology sector where he founded a number of businesses and served in marketing, research and development management roles. Matt Zimmerman joins the Academy from New York University (NYU) where he currently serves as Manager of Faculty Technology Services, a group that advances teaching and research technology across the university in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Matt also worked as a Humanities Computing Specialist in NYU's Humanities Computing Group where he consulted on digital projects such as an electronic edition of Chaucer's /Clerk's Tale (part of the Scholarly Digital Editions /Canterbury Tale/s project) and the online version of The Public Writings of Margaret Sanger. In addition to his work at NYU Matt is a past chair of the Text Encoding Initiative Consortium and on the Executive of the Association for Computers and the Humanities. Matt received his MA in English Literature from the University of Georgia where he studied Renaissance Drama and produced a thesis entitled: Chronicles and Characters: Representing Richard III. -- Susan Schreibman, PhD Director Digital Humanities Observatory Pembroke House 28=AD32 Upper Pembroke Street Dublin 2, Ireland -- A Project of the Royal Irish Academy -- Phone: +353 1 234 2440 Fax: +353 1 234 2400 Email: susan.schreibman@gmail.com http://dho.ie http://irith.org http://macgreevy.org http://v-machine.org Return-Path: Received: from fep13.clear.net.nz (fep13 [192.168.16.114]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0K0U00J0BERG7N50@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz;

He writes: "We acknowledge that the natural body gives us extraordinary means of interacting with each other and with the world. But cyberspace has been built on the Cartesian ideals of metaphysical separation between mind and body. Is cyberspace creating a different world? Is cyberspace the extension of the real world? The making of cyberspace creates a problem with the notion of body and embodiment." *Philip Yaffe asks about the old TV detective-show Columbo: "What can a bumbling, inarticulate Los Angeles cop teach us about effective communication?" Well, that cop can teach us plenty. If you give presentations or write proposals, this little article is something you need to read.

XTF is an open source, highly flexible software application that supports the search, browse and display of heterogeneous digital content. XTF offers efficient and practical methods for creating customized end-user interfaces for distinct digital content collections. Highlights from the 2.1 release include: Extensive interface improvements, including new search forms, built-in faceted browsing, and a new look and feel. Increased support for document and information exchange formats. XHTML and OAI-PMH output NLM article format indexing and output Microsoft Word indexing Streamlined XSLT stylesheets for simpler deployment and adaptation. Updated documentation that has been moved to the XTF project wiki, allowing XTF implementers to share solutions with entire user community. "Freeform" Boolean query language, offered as an experimental feature. Backward compatibility with existing XTF implementations. A complete list of changes is available on the XTF Project page on SourceForge, where the distribution (including documentation) can also be downloaded. Since the first deployment of XTF in 2005, the development strategy has been to build and maintain an indexing and display technology that is not only customizable, but also draws upon tested components already in use by the digital library and search communities - in particular the Lucene text search engine, Java, XML, and XSLT. By coordinating these pieces in a single platform that can be used to create multiple unique applications, CDL has succeeded in dramatically reducing the investment in infrastructure, staff training and development for new digital content projects. XTF offers a suite of customizable features that support diverse intellectual access to content. Interfaces can be designed to support the distinct tools and presentations that are useful and meaningful to specific audiences. In addition, XTF offers the following core features: Easy to deploy: Drops directly in to a Java application server such as Tomcat or Resin; has been tested on Solaris, Mac, Linux, and Windows operating systems. Easy to configure: Can create indexes on any XML element or attribute; entire presentation layer is customizable via XSLT. Robust: Optimized to perform well on large documents (e.g., a single text that exceeds 10MB of encoded text); scales to perform well on collections of millions of documents; provides full Unicode support. Extensible: Works well with a variety of authentication systems (e.g., IP address lists, LDAP, Shibboleth). Provides an interface for external data lookups to support thesaurus-based term expansion, recommender systems, etc. Can power other digital library services (e.g., XTF contains an OAI-PMH data provider that allows others to harvest metadata, and an SRU interface that exposes searches to federated search engines). Can be deployed as separate, modular pieces of a third-party system (e.g., the module that displays snippets of matching text). Powerful for the end user: Spell checking of queries Faceted displays for browsing Dynamically updated browse lists Session-based bookbags These basic features can be tuned and modified. For instance, the same bookbag feature that allows users to store links to entire books, can also store links to citable elements of an object, such as a note or other reference.

Our goal is to start a conversation about how high performance computers -- supercomputers -- can be used for humanities research. We are working with colleagues at the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. National Science Foundation to provide information on how high performance/grid computing and data storage might be used for work in the humanities. We are also announcing a new grant competition with DOE to award time and training on their machines. We are also inviting teams of scholars and scientists who are working on HHPC projects to apply to our Collaborative Research grant competition for funding. I urge you to check out our HHPC Resources page for more information. Here is a Tiny URL that will redirect you to that page on the NEH website: http://tinyurl.com/68dg5x Personally, I'm very curious to see where this new initiative takes us. It started over a year ago when the Office of Science at DOE approached us about making supercomputers available to humanities researchers. We invited a number of humanities scholars and supercomputing specialists to meet with us here at the NEH last July so we could think hard about this issue. Certainly, I think that everyone in attendance agreed that there are only a limited number of humanities projects today that require high performance computing. But one of the things we learned from colleagues at NSF and DOE is that this was the also the case in the sciences in the not-too-distant past -- scientists also had to learn about supercomputers before they could begin applying them to their work. Computation has proven an effective tool for scholarship and while supercomputers may only be useful for a small slice of the humanities today, I think it is safe to say that slice will grow in size over time. So think of this HHPC initiative as way of opening doors; a way of starting conversations and getting scholars, computer scientists, and information scientists talking about ways in which their fields might work together. If you know of any humanities projects currently using HPC technology please do get in touch. My plan is to compile a list and highlight some exemplar projects.

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, 15 May 2008 22:34:48 +0100 From: "Nicola Masciandaro" Subject: new journal: Glossator Glossator: Practice and Theory of the Commentary http://ojs.gc.cuny.edu/index.php/glossator/ Glossator publishes original commentaries, editions and translations of commentaries, and essays and articles relating to the theory and history of commentary, glossing, and marginalia. The journal aims to encourage the practice of commentary as a creative form of intellectual work and to provide a forum for dialogue and reflection on the past, present, and future of this ancient genre of writing. By aligning itself, not with any particular discipline, but with a particular mode of production, Glossator gives expression to the fact that praxis founds theory. **CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS** The Editors invite submissions for the first volume of Glossator, to be published in 2009. Glossator welcomes work from all disciplines, but especially from fields with strong affiliations with the commentary genre: philosophy, literary theory and criticism, textual and manuscript studies, hermeneutics, exegesis, et al. What is commentary? While the distinction between commentary and other forms of writing is not an absolute one, the following may serve as guidelines for distinguishing between what is and is not a commentary: -- A commentary focuses on a single object (text, image, event, etc.) or portion thereof. -- A commentary does not displace but rather shapes itself to and preserves the integrity, structure, and presence of its object. -- The relationship of a commentary to its object may be described as both parallel and perpendicular. Commentary is parallel to its object in that it moves with or runs alongside it, following the flow of reading it. Commentary is perpendicular to its object in that it pauses or breaks from reading it in order to comment on it. The combination of these dimensions gives commentary a structure of continuing discontinuity, which allows it to be consulted or read intermittently rather than start to finish. -- Commentary tends to maintain a certain quantitative proportion of itself vis-a-vis its object. This tendency corresponds to the practice of "filling up the margins" of a text. -- Commentary, as a form of discourse, tends to favor and allow for the multiplication of meanings, ideas, and references. Commentary need not, and generally does not, have an explicit thesis or argument. This tendency gives commentary a ludic or auto-teleological potential. Possible submissions include: critical, philological, and/or bibliographic commentaries on texts, art, music, events, and other kinds of objects. Editions and translations of commentaries, glosses, annotation, and marginalia. Historical, theoretical, and/or critical articles and essays on commentary and commentary traditions. Experimental and/or fictional commentaries.

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.

The first was from an undergraduate literature seminar: "pay attention to everything." ('Really, professor? *Everything*?') This was a mandate, of course, to read closely but also to be alert to the wider social world in which the written word is embedded. It was repeated in a graduate-level seminar on material culture, through Ian Hodder's *Reading the Past.* Hodder describes context as "the totality of the relevant environment," which, for the purposes of archaeological interpretation, is always a subset of that totality: that portion of it that is accessible to the interpreter. Scholars have always had to decide what is relevant to the explanation of a thing, and these decisions represent boundaries. Disciplines, then, are the product of long-established patterns of boundary-drawing. Scholars of architecture long held that all that was relevant to any discussion of a great building was the form of other great buildings (Pevsner was famously explicit about this: "A bicycle shed is a building; Lincoln cathedral is a piece of architecture."). In time, with the emergence of architecture as a profession, attention turned to the biography of individual architects as a significant piece of evidence. Not relevant, however, were questions of contemporary social and economic practices, so it has only been in the last 30 years or so that slavery, for example, has been introduced into discussions of Virginia's plantation houses, or gender relations into the study of domestic space. Richly networked digital evidence represents, surely, a greater subset of relevant material than what a single researcher has previously had at hand. What this situation demands is that scholars who work digitally are self-conscious, and explicit, about how they draw those boundaries, which potentially extend quite a bit beyond where disciplinary habits might once have drawn them. I'm not sure that this situation shows the fragility of boundaries so much as their malleability. I will continue to study buildings; another will concentrate on novels; some others animals. If everything is digitized, everything is available as context, so our choices may be made more freely about where we situate our subject and how expansively to draw our boundaries. But digitizing everything is a more serious problem for some pieces of evidence than others. For those of us who work on the material world, or who understand the material world as a meaningful aspect of context, digitization is far from straightforward. I share Bruce Jackson's envy of literary scholars, whose subjects can be dis-embodied from their physical carriers and remain computable in a useful (if imperfect) way. Scanning a building, or a fork, or a landscape, is quite a different matter, as the results are very poor substitutes, as evidence, for the original. As with folklore, material evidence is always mediated and always collected according to contestible assumptions about what is significant. As we learn to do research in an ever-expanding environment of digital evidence, we should be mindful of how that evidence has been collected, which varies significantly according to subject (or, if you like, discipline).

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, 10 May 2008 08:54:07 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: the fragility of boundaries Somewhere Clifford Geertz observed that confrontation with anthropological data has the disturbing tendency to unseat absolutes, to relativize. So also, it seems, the study of folklore. In the case of anthropology as Geertz saw it, the confrontation with things outside our ken leads to radical questioning of whatever reality we have inherited and taken to be cosmological. In the case of folklore one source is the familiar anxiety over disciplinary boundaries: how can one say what folklore is if saying what it is not proves impossible? Another is the historical set of contingencies responsible for the existence of the discipline. Thus Bruce Jackson, in his Presidential Address to the American Folklore Society in October 1984, "Things that from a long way off look like flies", begins: >FOLKLORE STUDIES, like any other kind of studies, don't just happen. >Fields of scholarship occur because specific technological and >economic and institutional resources are available and because >specific individuals utilize those resources in specific ways. >Whatever measure of intellectual or academic freedom we enjoy takes >place in a grid defined by pre-existent theoretical and social >models which we accept or with which we must contend, with machines >that help us deal in specific ways with the implications of those >models, and with rewards available to those of us who use both >models and machines in ways that seem valuable to the payers of >salaries and the givers of grants. (Journal of American Folklore, >98.388, 1985, p. 131) Jackson looks enviously over his shaky disciplinary fence at the folks in literary studies, who to him seem far more secure -- "the objects of literary study are uniformly and equally available; we can all buy a copy or travel to the library holding a copy of whatever it is we wish to read", he declares, whereas folklore only exists to those present, when it happens out somewhere "in the field". And out there, he notes, the sense of having to make choices and construct boundaries so as to be able to know what to collect can be overwhelming. >Once out of the field, we can see and hear only selected artifacts. >The observer forever defines and limits the text to which the rest >of us shall have access, and our access to the basic materials of >our discipline, therefore, is always secondary. Whenever our work >involves primary material reported to us by others, we are not >studying folklore so much as we are studying scholarly reports of >folklore.... We often pretend that our systems of classification are >derived from the raw facts of our research, and that our theoretical >models are in turn derived from our analysis of the systems. In >fact, the process works quite the other way around: we have our >models, and from them we derive our systems of classification.

(pp. 132f) This sort of talk I'd suppose anathema to our knowledge engineers or ontologists, especially because Jackson is talking not about high culture, which derives its dizzying height from the brilliancies of the creative imagination and consequent demands on sophisticated interpretative abilities, but about the everyday, about what plain folk do, out there in the field (which, as Jackson illustrates, includes a polite dinner party). The manipulatory abilities of our digital tools, too little exploited by those intent on building monuments of scholarship, are of course just the thing to translate anxious fragility of categories into amazing agility for categorizing and re-categorizing raw material. That much is plain. But what about the equally plain fact of the (truly) exponentially increasing volume of data? The problem, it seems to me, is not the hermeneutic nightmare of arbitrary, unjustifiable choice but the ease with which evidence for just about anything may be found. As Northrop Frye used to say, given enough data any statement can be connected with any other statement. Now we actually have the data, at the push of that lovely button. Comments? (In any case, I do recommend you read Jackson's address, which is to be found in JSTOR, blessed be its name.)

Following a brief illness Dr. Theall died at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre on Thursday, May 15, 2008. "I wish to express my heartfelt sympathies to the family of Dr. Theall," said Bonnie Patterson, president and vice-chancellor of Trent University. "The loss of a former university president is a profound one, especially for an institution as young as Trent University, where so many fondly remember Donald Theall's years here. Certainly, all of us benefit from his legacy as a leader and as an academic. He will be missed here at Trent and at the many institutions that he has influenced through his admirable administrative and academic work." "Dr. Theall's own passions and pursuits were so much a reflection of the institution he led for seven years," added Reid Morden, chair of Trent University's Board of Governors. "As a leader whose academic credentials were well-known in humanities circles internationally, he epitomized the benefits of a well-rounded liberal arts education. An effective and respected leader for Trent, he will be missed by many." Dr. Theall was born in Mount Vernon, New York. He earned his B.A. at Yale University in 1950, and his M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Toronto in 1951 and 1954. It was at the University of Toronto where he began his long and distinguished career in the university sector, rising through the ranks from lecturer to professor from 1953 to 1965. During his final year at U of T, Dr. Theall was also chair of the combined Departments of English. In 1962, he edited and annotated selected poems of Pope for the last print edition of Representative Poetry. After becoming chairman and Molson professor with the Department of English at McGill University from 1966 to 1973, and then founding director and Molson professor with the graduate program in communications, from 1974 to 1980, Dr. Theall joined Trent University as president and vice-chancellor from 1980 to 1987. He stayed on at Trent as a professor until his retirement in 1994, when he was granted the title of professor emeritus. During his academic career, Dr. Theall also served on the Board of Directors with the International Communication Association (1979-81), was founding president of the Canadian Communication Association (1978-80), acted as first cultural exchange professor for Canada to the People's Republic of China (1974), and served as co-director of the National Film Board of Canada/McGill University Summer School on Media (1967-71). Dr. Theall was also well-known for his published works, which focused on a wide variety of topics, including: communication theory; Marshall McLuhan; poetic theory; science fiction; film theory; virtual reality; cyberspace; and the works of James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Wyndham Lewis, Alexander Pope, and Harold Innis. He was also the author of several books, including: The Virtual Marshall McLuhan, James Joyce's Techno-Poetics, and Beyond the Word: Reconstructing Sense in the Joyce Era of Technology, Culture, and Communication. In 1975, he guest-edited a special McLuhan issue of the Canadian Journal of Communications with G. J. Robinson and published The Medium is the Rear View Mirror: Understanding McLuhan in 1971. Dr. Theall was also often described as a "pioneer in computing in the humanities", and made an extraordinary contribution to literature on-line with his web version of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake and Ulysses. As a tribute to his contributions to education over the years, Dr. Theall was presented with a Doctor of Sacred Letters, honoris causa from the University of St. Michael's College in 2006. Dr. Theall is survived by his wife Joan Ada Benedict and their six children: Thomas, Margaret Rose, John, Harold, Lawrence, and Michael. To celebrate the life of Dr. Theall, the following services have been= planned: -- Tuesday, May 20 - private graveyard service -- Thursday, May 22 at 2 p.m. - Celebratory mass at St. Basil's Church at the University of St. Michael's College (50 St Joseph Street, Toronto, Ontario), to be followed be a reception at Brennan Hall -- Friday, May 23 at 10 a.m. - Memorial service at Trent University, Senior Common Room, Champlain College, Symons Campus, open to the public In honour of Dr. Theall's service and leadership to Trent University, the flag atop the Bata Library has been lowered to the half-staff position.

During the week July 21st to 25th, the TEI team at Oxford is once again offering special training in text encoding principles and techniques. This year we have two workshops: * XML, TEI, and beyond: July 21st-23rd 2008 This three-day course combines in-depth coverage of the latest version of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Recommendations for the encoding of digital text with hands-on practical exercises in their application. If you are a project manager, research assistant, or encoder working on any kind of project concerned with the creation or management of large amounts of digital text, this course is for you. * XML processing using XSLT: July 24th-25th 2008 This is a two-day technical course is a practical guide to the use of XSLT to do more than simply render your XML documents. Aimed at project research assistants, encoders, and programmers, it provides in-depth coverage of the principles and practice of the W3C's extensible Stylesheet language, focussing on its use as a general purpose text manipulation and processing language. Interested? Please register as soon as possible, as places are limited. The two workshops are independent of each other, but we're pleased to announce a 20% discount is available if you register for both.

The 2008 edition will be held in Doha, Qatar, on the premises of the Qatar campus of Carnegie Mellon University. Logic is a fundamental organizing principle in nearly all areas in Computer Science. It runs a multifaceted gamut from the foundational to the applied. At one extreme, it underlies computability and complexity theory and the formal semantics of programming languages. At the other, it drives billions of gates every day in the digital circuits of processors of all kinds. Logic is in itself a powerful programming paradigm but it is also the quintessential specification language for anything ranging from real-time critical systems to networked infrastructures. It is logical techniques that link implementation and specification through formal methods such as automated theorem proving and model checking. Logic is also the stuff of knowledge representation and artificial intelligence. Because of its ubiquity, logic has acquired a central role in Computer Science education. New results in the fields of computational logic and applications are welcome. Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories and practices. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Automated reasoning * Description logics * Interactive theorem proving * Non-monotonic reasoning * Implementations of logic * Specification using logics * Proof assistants * Logic in artificial intelligence * Program and system verification * Lambda calculus * Model checking * Constructive logic and type theory * Rewriting and unification * Computional interpretations of logic * Logic programming * Logical foundations of programming * Constraint programming * Logical aspects of concurrency * Logic and databases * Logic and computational complexity * Modal and temporal logics * Knowledge representation and reasoning * Proof-carrying code * Reasoning about actions * Translation validation * Proof planning * Logic for the semantic web * Effectively presented structures * Foundations of security * Logic of distributed systems Invited Speakers ---------------- It has been a tradition of LPAR to invite some of the most influential researchers in the focus areas to discuss their work and their vision for their fields. We are honored that the following members of the community have accepted this invitation. * Edmund Clarke, Carnegie Mellon University (USA) * Amir Pnueli, New York University (USA) * Michael Backes, Saarland University and MPI-SWS (Germany) * Thomas Eiter, Technical University of Vienna (Austria) [...] Return-Path: Received: from fep16.clear.net.nz (fep16 [192.168.16.117]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0K1D00KWW3UU3H00@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Sat, 24 May 2008 19:37:45 +1200 (NZST) Received: from mxin3-orange.clear.net.nz (lb2-srcnat.clear.net.nz [203.97.32.237]) by mx8.clear.net.nz (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0K1D009123USFT00@mx8.clear.net.nz> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Sat, 24 May 2008 19:37:42 +1200 (NZST) Received: from postoffice04.princeton.edu (HELO Princeton.EDU) ([128.112.131.112]) by mxin3-orange.clear.net.nz with ESMTP; Sat, 24 May 2008 19:37:41 +1200 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Received: from smtpserver2.Princeton.EDU (smtpserver2.Princeton.EDU [128.112.129.148]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m4O7YrMO000093; Sat, 24 May 2008 03:34:53 -0400 (EDT) X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal 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 m4O451X6022368; Sat, 24 May 2008 03:34:49 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 15.0) with spool id 20063516 for humanist@LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU; Sat, 24 May 2008 03:27:41 -0400 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.0.6002.18463 Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice03.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.174]) by lists.Princeton.EDU (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m4O7N11n028165 for ; Sat, 24 May 2008 03:23:01 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice03.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.174]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m4O7N1Ev001645 for ; Sat, 24 May 2008 03:23:01 -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 m4O7MuNT001569 for ; Sat, 24 May 2008 03:23:00 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mail71.messagelabs.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emfw4.Princeton.EDU (Spam Firewall) with ESMTP id 109E75EC2E6 for ; Sat, 24 May 2008 03:22:55 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mail71.messagelabs.com (mail71.messagelabs.com [193.109.255.131]) by emfw4.Princeton.EDU with ESMTP id vVOUmBnVoJhn7RKs for ; Sat, 24 May 2008 03:22:55 -0400 (EDT) Received: (qmail 3220 invoked from network); Sat, 24 May 2008 07:22:54 +0000 Received: from outbound.kcl.ac.uk (HELO outbound.kcl.ac.uk) (137.73.2.214) by server-5.tower-71.messagelabs.com with AES256-SHA encrypted SMTP; Sat, 24 May 2008 07:22:54 +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 1Jzo5A-0005Da-UF for humanist@princeton.edu; Sat, 24 May 2008 08:22:24 +0100 Received: from 205.81.2.81.in-addr.arpa ([81.2.81.205] helo=WOLF.kcl.ac.uk) by elder smtp with esmtp (TLSv1:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:256) id 1Jzo50-000562-NR for humanist@princeton.edu; Sat, 24 May 2008 08:22:15 +0100 Date: Sat, 24 May 2008 08:22:10 +0100 From: "Humanist Discussion Group \(by way of Willard McCarty \)" Subject: 22.036 getting carried away?

Sometime between 1964 and 1965, in a conference at Purdue University sponsored by IBM, Professor William B. Kehl, then Director of the Computing Centre at Pittsburgh, said the following in a panel discussion: >Ultimately, I hope that somewhere along the way there will be one >man who will become so interested and so involved with the computer >and his own work that he will begin to develop some sort of >structures which may be defined only in terms of a computer; a >research project, in other words, in which the computer is implicit >in the structure that he is trying to analyze. Let me explain: Simon >and Newell (both of whom came from the field of psychology), in >their chess-playing program and their learning programs on the >computer, saw that the existing language was not sufficient for >them. They had more complex things to think about. In chess playing >they had to look ahead many moves, while in learning theory they had >to think of the fact of how things were structured. The same thing >was done with grammar, and so the linguists became so involved that >they designed a language which actually was almost a new computer in >itself. It totally restructured the idea of a computer. Now the same >thing is going to happen at some point in the humanities, at least >this in the area of written communication. I'm not talking about >linguists and the problems of parsing sentences, which are pretty >well simplified and solved, or about generative grammars; I'm >talking about a real structure to deal with problems in literature. >I don't say this is the path for everybody in the humanities, but >hopefully there is going to be one man out of a conference who will >become so involved with the computer that his whole concept, his >whole approach to research, is going to be involved intimately with >defining such a structure of which previously he could not have >conceived.

He sketched work on three levels across the decades he was then able to survey. At the lowest, most general, and most unambiguously useful level, he noted the employment of computers to perform humdrum tasks in less time than an unaided human could accomplish -- the kinds of things everyone now does without much if any thought and without help from experts. This sort, he pointed out, leaves little trace in the published work of researchers (though its mostly unstudied effects on scholarship are undoubtedly great). At the opposite end he put the showpiece explorations of computational methods by the most ambitious projects, which seek results "not so much to enrich the domain of research with fundamentally new findings as to demonstrate the validity of some new form of automatic processing". These "win acclaim in the literature of [computer science] but pass almost without remark in the parent humanities disciplines" -- and often never get beyond laboratory prototypes. His interest was, as ours is, in the middle ground between these two. And there he found a great absence: >in spite of the multiplication of new basic research tools in the >humanities, it is surprisingly difficult to point, in specific >areas, to solid, uncontroverted gains to scholarship which could not >have been achieved without the new technology. The high hopes which >some computer enthusiasts held out that the computer would >revolutionize humanistic study have been proved, over and over >again, to be unrealistic. Sometimes the initial claims made were >much exaggerated... But even in areas where there was no hubris in >the initial claims, the results delivered have often been >disappointing. Between humdrum research and showpiece research, >what, the humanities scholarly community is really anxious to see is >work which is both (a) respected as an original scholarly >contribution within its own discipline and (b) could clearly not >have been done without a computer.... >Indeed throughout humanities disciplines, after thirty-odd years of >this kind of research, there are embarrassingly few books and >articles which can be confidently pointed out as passing both tests. >This has meant that many enthusiasts for computing in ihe humanities >have an uncomfortable sense of crisis, a feeling of promise >unfulfilled. Gone is the glad confident morning in which Ladurie >could say, "L'historien de demain sera programmeur ou il ne sera >plus". The feeling of disillusion is indeed partly the result of the >misplaced optimism and exaggerated claims of some of the pioneers: >the belief was sometimes encouraged in the past that feeding data >into a computer would automatically solve a scholar's problems. Rare >has been the computer project which did not, in the course of >execution, bring to light an initial overestimation of the technical >possibilities, and an underestimation of the problems of data >preparation. The proliferation of personal computers in the last >decade has often, embarrassingly, gone with an actual diminution in >methodological sophistication. This is a deeply familiar observation, and especially among the text-analysis crowd, a frequent lament that continues to attract a number of diagnoses, the most recent I know of being in the first number of Literary and Linguistic Computing for 2008, by Patrick Juola. The immediately previous one, by David Hoover, appeared in Digital Humanities Quarterly 1.2 (Summer 2007). The list is a long one, going back at least to the late 1970s. Rosanne Potter's retrospective in CHum 25 (1991): 401-29 fingers the most significant ones up to that date. I wonder, however, if the problem is as much in the question being asked as in the answer not forthcoming. For one thing, writers tend to assume one answer or failure to answer across all disciplines irrespective of their materials, style of reasoning and goals. Clearly that cannot be right. When your goal is, e.g. as in epigraphy, principally to report factually rich details of what you have seen that may not be there the next time someone wants to take a look, you may well regard digital imaging, markup, relational database and online publication tools to have made an enormous, discipline-changing difference. You may well be tempted to point out that now those stuck-up folks in literary studies have to revise their ideas of what, exactly, belongs in the corpus of literature. You may well have the sense of a new renaissance of discoveries. If your goal is to interpret the literature, you may well be glad for the additional text but then hasten to point out that other than delivering text obediently and allowing you to do all those humdrum things faster etc, computing has not really made much of a difference to what centrally counts: the interpretative operations of criticism. The best statement from this perspective to date is Jerome McGann's. Wouldn't it be better to ask what sort of differences are making real differences in what disciplines? Wouldn't be better to take account of what practitioners in each specialism are actually trying to do? Kenny concluded, in 1992, by saying, "the testing time has now arrived". Indeed -- and something else folks have been saying again and again for a long time. But if, as I think to be the case, humanities computing is fundamentally an experimental practice, then wasn't Kenny noticing a perpetual dawn rather than a final sunset? And where does all this anxiety about whether we are being seen to be useful come from? Are we quaking at the wagging finger of the ghost of Imre Lakatos ("Beware degenerate research programmes!"), or are we suffering from the general lack of self-respect afflicting academics these days?

Subject: call for studies: Using Images in Education If you use images in your teaching... TASI (the JISC Technical Advisory Service for Images http://www.tasi.ac.uk/) are looking for case studies to use in a free workshop focused on strategies for locating images suitable for use within teaching and learning with particular reference to avoiding problems with copyright. There will also be an online tutorial on searching for images. Case studies may illustrate either A) the problems people have experienced with using copyright protected images in their materials or B) success stories about using copyright-free images. The case studies will be very short but will illustrate to users of an online tutorial the benefits involved in changing the way they search for images. Possible subjects for the case studies could include: i) students that have had work rejected due to the inclusion of copyright protected images ii) lecturers that have had to remove content from VLEs or presentations/handouts iii) legal problems with use of copyright protected images on websites etc iv) benefits of using a copyright free repository/Creative Commons resources in terms of peace of mind, time saving etc. v) discovery of good locations for the provision of images perhaps within a certain subject or field of study which are free to use Please email David Kilbey (d.kilbey@bristol.ac.uk) if you would like to contribute and *please copy me* so that I can construct an annotated summary of resources available as a list on the website and as a pamphlet. I think this would be useful and while I know about the 'copyright cleared for teaching' collections of the Archaeology Image Bank http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/learning/image_bank/ and Vroma http://www.vroma.org/or, and the free use collections of images in Flickr http://www.flickr.com/ and of those under various commons licences held at Wikimedia Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, I haven't used them for teaching myself, so couldn't comment on their quality and there must be more that I don't know about (yet)!

Subject: Are you teaching in a virtual world? ReLIVE08 CfP ReLIVE08 has this call for *actual papers* and *virtual presentations within Second Life*. The deadline for abstracts is 2nd June 2008. 20-21 November 2008, Open University, Milton Keynes CALL FOR ABSTRACTS The call for abstract submissions is now open for ReLIVE08, an international conference on Researching Learning in Virtual Environments. This conference will be of interest to anyone researching learning and teaching in virtual world environments such as Second Life. The conference organisers are keen to construct a programme that features diverse and innovative research approaches to learning and teaching in virtual worlds. Given the emerging practice associated with virtual worlds, the conference committee is also keen to receive papers reporting on the experience of learning and teaching using virtual worlds that relate practice and outcomes to literature and research in this area. Submissions will reflect a range of research methods and will examine issues such as rigour, methods of sampling, relationships between researchers and researched, and the ethics and politics of the research process. All papers will be published in a conference proceedings and a selection of papers will be published in an additional academic format.

Are you on the job market? Are you looking for general career advice in the Digital Humanities? Do you have valuable career advice to give? If so, I encourage you to participate in this year's ACH mentoring program. Each year the Association for Computers and the Humanities (www.ach.org) puts out a call to those who are looking for advice in beginning or advancing their careers in the Digital Humanities and those who can offer advice, or, even better, jobs! As in the past, the mentoring program is deliberately informal. After collecting names of mentors and mentess I then offer an introduction via email and the parties take it from there. Ideally you both will be attending the Digital Humanities Conference in Oulu this year so you can spend some time taking over coffee, but if not, no worries, a lot can be done over email. So, if you fall in to one of the above categories (mentor or mentee) please email at matt.zimmerman@gmail.com and let me know: 1. Whether you are looking to mentor or be mentored. 2. In what area(s) you feel you need help or could offer help (i.e. Libraries, Teaching, Technical) 3. If you will be attending the Digital Humanities 2008 conference in Oulu. Also remember our ACH jobs database at http://curlew.cch.kcl.ac.uk/ach/ where you can search for jobs if you are on the market and also post jobs if you are an employer with openings. Thanks so much for you help in continuing what has been a very beneficial program for all parties involved in the past years. Matt Zimmerman Chair, ACH Employment Committee.

NEXT APPLICATION DEADLINES: - 31 May 2008: deadline for all European and non-European students (notification of acceptance: 15 July 2008) SCHOLARSHIPS & MONEY SUPPORT: There will be 12 consortium scholarships to waive one year's tuition fee of 3.000 ? for students who newly enroll in the winter semester 2008 and do not receive any other scholarship. These scholarships will be given on the basis of academic merit. Every year 10 EMCL students with European citizenship can visit Australia (Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane) up to 3 months to work on a research project, sponsored by the European Master. The study period in Australia is part of the study programme and it is fully recognised by the European Master's Program in Computational Logic. The guaranteed scholarship is of 3,100 ? and it covers the travel and living expenses in Australia. APPLICATION: Check this web page for detailed info on applications: http://european.computational-logic.org/ THE STUDY PROGRAMME: The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is designed to meet the demands of industry and research in this rapidly growing area. Based on a solid foundation in mathematical logic, theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence and declarative programming students will acquire in-depth knowledge necessary to specify, implement and run complex systems as well as to prove properties of these systems. In particular, the focus of instruction will be in deduction systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, artificial intelligence, formal specification and verification, syntax directed semantics, logic and automata theory, logic and computability. This basic knowledge is then applied to areas like logic and natural language processing, logic and the semantic web, bioinformatics, information systems and database technology, software and hardware verification. Students will acquire practical experience and will become familiar in the use of tools within these applications. In addition, students will be prepared for a future PhD, they will come in contact with the international research community and will be integrated into ongoing research projects. They will develop competence in foreign languages and international relationships, thereby improving their social skills. Applicants should have a Bachelor degree (Bologna 1st cycle or equivalent) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Logic, or other relevant disciplines; special cases will be considered. The program has various strength that make it unique among European universities: * Curriculum taught entirely in English: The program is open to the world and prepares the students to move on the international scene. * Possibility of a strongly research-oriented curriculum. * Possibility for project-based routes to obtain the degree and extensive lab facilities. * International student community. * Direct interaction with the local and international industry and research centres, with the possibility of practical and research internships that can lead to future employment. * Excellent scholarship opportunities and student accommodations. The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is one of the few European Masters awarded by the European Union's Erasmus Mundus programme from its first year of existence in 2004. The Erasmus Mundus programme is a co-operation and mobility programme in the field of higher education which promotes the European Union as a centre of excellence in learning around the world. It supports European top-quality Masters Courses and enhances the visibility and attractiveness of European higher education in third-countries. It also provides EU-funded scholarships for third-country nationals participating in these Masters Courses, as well as scholarships for EU-nationals studying in third-countries.

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, 26 May 2008 07:58:08 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: how things looked 46 years ago In my trawlings for early views of computing one of the best finds has been a series of commissioned pieces published by the Times Literary Supplement in 1962 under the series title "Freeing the mind" and later that year as a booklet, Freeing the Mind: Articles and Letters from the Times Literary Supplement during March-June 1962 (London: Times Publishing Company, 1962), for the sum of 3/6. The main articles in this collection are: Research and the Library of the Future: D. J. Foskett; Mechanization in Lexicography: R. A. Wisbey; Electronic Storage and Searching: Ralph Shaw; The Kinds of Machine now in Use: Andrew D. Booth; The Future of Machine Translation: Yehoshua Bar-Hillel; The Intellect's New Eye: Margaret Masterman; Poetry, Prose and the Machine (anon). Perhaps the longest surviving one in the series was Masterman's visionary article, which was quoted approvingly by Allan B Ellis and F. Andre Favat in a book on The General Inquirer, ed Stone (1966), and sixteen years later, as a measure of what had not (and still has not) been achieved, by Susan Wittig in CHum 11 (1978). I quote below in its entirety the editorial introduction to Freeing the Mind as a general stimulus to historical thinking and as an example of the kind of thing I'm looking for. Notification of more of the same kind will be most gratefully received. Yours, WM ----- >INTRODUCTION > >Is THERE A DIRECT relationship between the growth of human >knowledge and the decline in humanity's ability to handle what >it knows? It often seems that there is. The development of >(at least) two cultures, the breeding of more and more specialists, >the mutual mystification of experts even within a single field of >knowledge: we know the symptoms only too well. In every >profession, in every branch of scholarship, it is becoming harder to >keep pace with current developments. Nor is this just because so >many actual discoveries are being made. The fragmentation of >knowledge itself leads to overlapping and duplication, to the scattering >of the relevant material through an ever-widening range of >publications; as the horizons close in there is more and more pointless >research. Keeping up with the real advances is only part of the >problem. Trying to identify them at all in the vast wastes of words >and effort: that is what takes the time. > > ----- > >We have often heard how this presses on the scientist. To take >the classic instance, the index to Chemical Abstracts for the decade >1947-1956 is three times the size of that for the decade preceding. >But at the same time the sheer volume of paper published is also >mounting on the non-scientific desk. Thus at a conference on >Information Methods of Research Workers in the Social Sciences, >whose report was published by the Library Association last year, >Mr. Donald MacRae complained of "the difficulty of knowledge of >and access to the mass of field studies and monographs" in sociology. >Again an article by Mr. Brian Rowley in the October-January, 1961, >number of German Life and Letters refers to a "jungle of secondary >sources" in his subject which the bibliographers no longer have under >control. Not only does research become increasingly fragmented >as a result, in Mr. Rowley's view, but the young scholar, pressed to >publish "original" work, may think he is doing so when the ground >has already been covered; he may be thickening the word-jungle to >no purpose. And there are many other indications that even if the >flow of new discoveries in other fields is less than that in science the >problem is still the same. For the scholar in the humanities cannot >afford to treat his predecessors' work as superseded. He has to keep >up with the present and the past. > >In the past ten or fifteen years a good deal of rather uncoordinated >thought has been given to taking some of this burden off the reader's >shoulders. Partly this is a matter of mapping the jungle by means of >abstracts (or brief summaries of books and articles), indexes and >bibliographies, all of which can be provided as a centralized service. >Partly it is a question of making the literature itself quickly accessible, >so that unnecessary time is not spent searching for references >or waiting for more or less unobtainable publications. Partly it is >a problem of how to cut down the sheer donkey-work of translating, >collating, copying, note-taking and compiling lists of references. >All these are aspects of academic work which could be simplified >by a more rational division oflabour and a more systematic application >of a number of new techniques. > > ----- > >The seven articles which follow discuss the progress being made >from various different directions towards this end. The facts and >the technical discoveries involved will not be entirely unfamiliar; >xerography and microphotography for instance are already in >fairly common use in this country, and a certain amount of attention >has by now been paid to the use of punched-card machines or >computers for mechanical translation and lexicography (though >less, in this country at least, to their use for searching an index or a >store of information). Nor is The Times Literary Supplement alone >in this concern with the literary aspects of the new mechanization. >Quite independently the publishing house of Bompiani in Milan >has decided to devote its Almanacco Letterario 1962 (2,500 lire) to >"the application of electronic calculators to literature and to the >moral sciences". Italy has been prominent in this field, thanks >largely to the lexicographical work of the Jesuit Father Roberto Busa >at Gallarate, to which reference is made in our second article. >A rather similar operation at Borgo Lombardo is described in the >almanac, while at Padua university the Institute of Glottology has >been using electronic machines to help analyse the phonetics of >modern Italian. > >A new German quarterly is also relevant in this connexion. >Boldly entitled "Language in the Technical Age" (Sprache im >technischen Zeitalter, Kohlhammer, Stuttgart, 14DM. a year), it is >edited by Professor Hollerer in west Berlin and sets out to combine >the study of such new technical developments with articles on >semantics and information theory, with social analysis of language >and literature and with criticism of some of literature's socially >interesting manifestations. So far two numbers have appeared, >including notably a most useful summary of the present situation >in machine translation by Heinz Zemanek of the Vienna Technische >Hochschule. This lists no fewer than thirty-two teams in different >parts of the world who are trying to crack this particular nut; >thirteen of them in the United States and nine in the U.S.S.R. >Besides the departments at Birkbeck, at Cambridge (Language >Research Unit), and at the National Physical Laboratory only two >European groups are given: Professor Ceccato's at Milan and M. >Tabory's at I.B.M., France. A delightful diversion in the second >issue is Herr Karl Markus Michel's attack on the drivel often >printed on gramophone record sleeves. > >In this country it seems probable that librarians are better aware >of the new possibilities than are most scholars, writers, and publishers. >At the Fedration Internationale de Documentation's >conference, which was held in London last September, a number of >revolutionary developments were discussed, among them the >F.M.A. "Filesearch" and I.B.M. "Walnut" methods of mechanically >searching a store of microfilm and projecting or enlarging the >required page, and the efforts now being made to mechanize the >Human Relations Area Files, the anthropological library at Yale. >Immediately before this conference there had been an international >conference on mechanical translation at Teddington, which was >the largest and most important yet to be held. > > ----- > >In the United States, where developments have been altogether >more spectacular, the Council on Library Resources was established >by the Ford Foundation in 1956 and was given a new grant of $8m. >last year precisely "to set up a laboratory to study photographic and >electronic techniques designed to cope with the deluge of publications >resulting from the accelerated rate of research". This and much >else has already been reported in the press. Yet each report so >far has been treated rather in isolation; many of the projects evolved >seem to have been planned without much idea of the scholars' >needs. Nor is it always clear how far they have got beyond the >theoretical stage. > >Development has been both piecemeal and one-sided. It has >not been easy for those interested to find a common language; >terms like "data processing" or "information reference arrays" act >as a barrier to all but the initiated. Moreover, although the technicians >in this field hopefully look to machines as "high-speed >idiots which will do the drudgery", their tendency has sometimes >been to think in terms of the machines available rather than of the >full extent of the problem or of the contribution which the non- >technical customer can make. Everywhere the problem has been >seen primarily as a scientific and industrial one; it is the needs of >science and industry, the armed forces and the strategists, which seem >to dictate every new solution. > >These are indeed the patrons who have initiated and financed >nearly all the progress so far made, from abstracting services to >automatic translation. None the less it may be dangerously shortsighted >to concentrate so exclusively on their requirements. It seems >doubtful, for instance, whether any satisfactory system of automatic >translation into English can be based entirely on experience with >Russian scientific texts (though machine translation up to now has >been virtually confined to this) or whether the principle of identifying >subject-matter by word-frequency will work outside a very limited >number of sciences (though this has been made the basis of mechanical >searching and of some experiments with the mechanical preparation >of abstracts). Nor should we overlook the possibly corrosive effect >of corrupt jargon and a debased technological style. Any system >built on the misuse of language is likely to impose its own distortions. > > ----- > >What we hope to do in our series of articles is to provide a rather >more general view of the whole scene, and to put a new emphasis >on those requirements and standards which seem so far to have >been overlooked. It is remarkable, for instance, that the kind of >abstracting, indexing and bibliographical service given by scientific >journals and industrial libraries-which nced involve no special >machinery-should scarcely at all be available to students of the >humanities and the social sciences. (An important article in the >December, 1960, number of The Library Association Record by the >first of our contributors discussed how much more could be done >in this respect.) It seems wrong that so many highly trained >research workers should have to waste time on what are virtually >routine clerical operations, such as the word-by-word analysis of >Goethe's works for the projected Goethe-Worterbuch, instead of >letting the job be done by machine. Admittedly, there are scholars >who associate moral virtue and academic discipline with such >drudgery; but this view shows a certain lack of faith in the wider >aspects of scholarship, and it is high time that it was dropped. So >long as he is still able to do his own searching and browsing when he >wants, any scholar must surely welcome the new developments, >and hasten to draw up his own demands on them. The more >sluggish his interest, the more chance of the needs of the humanities >being ignored. > >It is not just a matter of asserting the non-scientist's claims; for >as mechanical methods come to play an increasing part in our >studies they are likely to affect the printing, publication and indexing >of books, and even their actual style. The shortcomings of more >or less elegant English prose for expressing certain kinds of situation >seem to pass at present almost unnoticed; "experimental writing" >is directed almost anywhere sooner than to rectifying this. Already >it seems that the machines would have it otherwise, and are beginning >to need a more diagrammatic, tabulated form of notation of the >kind that Professor Anthony Oettinger in his book on Automatic >Language Translation (Harvard University Press) calls "flow charts" : > > The very properties of flow charts that make them such useful > tools are unfortunately not easily described verbally, because a > formal verbal description requires precisely the kind of intricate > prose that flow charts are intended to replace. > >Here is a challenge of quite a different order from that of the formal >experiments to which the past fifty years of avant-garde writing >have accustomed us: our whole way of writing may be drastically >changed. At the same time publishers of important books could >very well help mechanical scanning by making their indexes available >in a form that can be handled by machine. > >Admittedly, we are still in the preliminary, or science-fiction, >stage of the whole operation, when a wide range of possibilities seem >to suggest themselves and the most revolutionary implications >arise. As something of a safeguard the writers of the present series >of articles have been asked to stress the question of practical >feasibility, bearing in mind the likely cost and distinguishing between >theoretical spadework and actual achievement. None the less >science-fiction can come true, and it is not impossible that there >will be a mechanization of scholarship comparable in its importance >with the invention of movable types. > >This makes it important not only that its manifestations should >be most carefully watched but also that its proper objective should >be continually brought to mind. For it must be remembered from >the start that the aim is to lift the burden of routine searching, >collation, listing of possible sources and even perhaps taking of >notes off the brain-worker so that he can use his mind and his time >to better purpose.

In his provocative essay on "Scarce Resources in Computing," Andersen sees the future and assures all of us knowledge-workers that information scarcity will be with us for a long time to come. * Phil Yaffe gives us a new look at Lewis Carroll's wonderful concoction of nonsense, mathematics, language and logic in his "Jabberwocky." Read it now, or you'll be doomed to live the Archival Life. * Kathryn Kelly of the Ohio Supercomputer Center offers information on the SC08 Conference and reaches out for new participants interested in assistance getting to this important event. * Giving a wake-up call to American K-12 educators, M.O. Thirunarayanan urges technology-based outsourcing of U.S. math and science teaching for primary and secondary students. Yes, you read that correctly. Yikes.

As part of this initiative we're offering several grant programs and other opportunities to provide time on the U.S. Department of Energy's high performance computers, as well as grant money and training. NEH established this program to encourage humanities scholars to think about how high performance computers might help them in their research, and to take advantage of existing high performance computer resources. However, we recognize that simply providing access to the resources isn't enough to spark new ideas. We don't expect that there are legions of humanists out there with software and datasets sitting idle and ready to use on high performance machines. Still, we want to stimulate and encourage promising ideas you may have for HHPC experiments and test projects. As we indicate in the HHPC program guidelines (and as we do in all our other ODH grant programs), we specifically encourage potential applicants to contact us with their ideas for new projects. The ODH staff frequently works with potential applicants to provide feedback on proposals and guidance on the most appropriate grant program for their project. If you are considering a humanities project that may require fast computation, I encourage you to send us an e-mail (odh@neh.gov) with your ideas or draft proposals. We don't expect that you've necessarily worked out all the details -- you may simply be at a stage where basic research and experimentation is in order. We will work with you to help find the most suitable NEH grant opportunity and make suggestions on how to turn your draft into a full-blown proposal. We will also consult with our partners at the Department of Energy to seek their advice, as appropriate. Our hope is that this call will help turn some of your ideas into excellent projects that will be valuable to the nascent HHPC community. We look forward to hearing from you. For additional information, please do consult our HHPC Resource Page.

The 2008 edition will be held in Doha, Qatar, on the premises of the Qatar campus of Carnegie Mellon University. Logic is a fundamental organizing principle in nearly all areas in Computer Science. It runs a multifaceted gamut from the foundational to the applied. At one extreme, it underlies computability and complexity theory and the formal semantics of programming languages. At the other, it drives billions of gates every day in the digital circuits of processors of all kinds. Logic is in itself a powerful programming paradigm but it is also the quintessential specification language for anything ranging from real-time critical systems to networked infrastructures. It is logical techniques that link implementation and specification through formal methods such as automated theorem proving and model checking. Logic is also the stuff of knowledge representation and artificial intelligence. Because of its ubiquity, logic has acquired a central role in Computer Science education. New results in the fields of computational logic and applications are welcome. Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories and practices. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Automated reasoning * Logic of distributed systems * Computional interpretations of logic * Logic programming * Constraint programming * Modal and temporal logics * Constructive logic and type theory * Model checking * Decision procedures * Non-monotonic reasoning * Description logics * Ontologies * Foundations of security * Program and system verification * Implementations of logic * Proof assistants * Interactive theorem proving * Proof-carrying code * Knowledge representation and reasoning * Proof planning * Lambda calculus * Proof theory * Logic and automata * Propositional satisfiability * Logic and computational complexity * Reasoning about actions * Logic and databases * Rewriting and unification * Logic and games * Satisfiability modulo theories * Logic for the semantic web * Static analysis of programs * Logical aspects of concurrency * Specification using logics * Logical foundations of programming * Translation validation * Logic in artificial intelligence Invited Speakers ---------------- It has been a tradition of LPAR to invite some of the most influential researchers in the focus areas to discuss their work and their vision for their fields. We are honored that the following members of the community have accepted this invitation. * Edmund Clarke, Carnegie Mellon University (USA) * Amir Pnueli, New York University (USA) * Michael Backes, Saarland University and MPI-SWS (Germany) * Thomas Eiter, Technical University of Vienna (Austria) [...] Contact Information ------------------- Email: lpar08@qatar.cmu.edu Web page: http://www.qatar.cmu.edu/lpar08 Return-Path: Received: from fep15.clear.net.nz (fep15 [192.168.16.116]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0K1Q000JS77B7730@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz;

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, 30 May 2008 18:56:45 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: on firm and infirm ground On 2 April 1970 a rather full report on the 1970 symposium, "Uses of the computer in literary research", organized by Roy Wisbey in Cambridge, appeared in the Times Literary Supplement, p. 368, under the title "The literary computer". The aim of this conference was to report on the then current state of research, which not surprisingly had much to do with concordance generation for print -- Wisbey's own focus, as some of you will know. "In the more suspect world of stylostatistics", the reviewer comments, a number of projects were presented, but if the report is accurate, did not persuade the attendees that statistical analysis had much of a future. Such analysis, which we now know to be very valuable indeed as a set of experimental techniques, seems then to have been taken as part of an attempt to construct a mathematical model (rather than to conduct stylistic modelling with the aid of mathematics) for literary text. The reviewer argues that "the real value of such applications lies less in the tendencies they demonstrate (but can never convincingly prove) than in the fact that they cause us to think more deeply about what we mean by 'style'." It seems to me that today we'd not see the reviewer's opposition as a choice we need to make. But what I most want to put before you are the concluding two and a half paragraphs of the review -- and ask you to consider how far over the threshold sketched here we have been able to progress. The first quoted sentence below refers, by the way, almost certainly to Joe Raben, founding editor of CHum, whose literary research was as described. >However wide the vistas opened up by the computer as a means of >analysing the whole process of collocation, borrowing, adaptation >and affiliation underlying the literary tradition of a nation or >civilization, dwelt on at some length by an American scholar >comparing Shelley and Milton, the indispensable need for aesthetic >judgment to evaluate the mechanically produced evidence was fully >admitted by all exploring such possibilities. > >In some respects these tasks are self-defeating, for the sheer >wealth of the tradition which the computer can help reveal is itself >proof that the parallels detected are far from supplying such >incontrovertible evidence for precise questions of literary >dependence and authorship as may at first sight appear. It is likely >that the disappearance of the common stock of traditional formulas >characteristic of much medieval literature, where they help little >in the convincing solution of such problems, is more apparent than >real; and that with the rise of individuality since the Renaissance >and the modern critical equation of originality with creative >achievement, the real facts of the continuing dependence of each >author upon his predecessors within a particular literary tradition >have sunk beneath the threshold. > >If the computer helps to bring some of these facts to consciousness >by revealing 'parallels' everywhere, our knowledge of the processes >of literary creation will be enhanced; but the detailed and often >trivial questions of authorship and borrowing which occupy so many >scholars, both medieval and modern, will recede in significance. >This symposium clearly revealed that in the present state of >knowledge those concerned with the more modest problems of >lexicography and of information storage and retrieval stand on much >firmer ground than those who would harness the computer to explore >questions directly dependent on wider mental processes. A thoughtful conclusion surely. But it seems to me that this reviewer goes badly wrong. What would you say is his or her most fundamental error? Or do you agree?

How about working with over 20 years of the Humanist archives? Now available near you in XML or plain text formats as a single archive, by volumes, or by individual messages. You don't trust the way that I scrape, clean, and reformat 20 years of heterogenous input files (I wouldn't)? Download and tweak the code yourself!

To this 21st-century reader, the New Year's piece (anonymous by convention of the time) seems a rather boringly familiar set of predictions for a bright future of leisure and mass education. Leavis, however, found the whole thing profoundly disturbing, as you might expect. Much of what disturbed if not frightened Leavis has to do with massive social changes that have in fact happened, some of which make his present seem a time of quaint privilege to us, some of which we recognize depressingly in our daily experience of university life -- "universities as industrial plant" as opposed to "universities as centres of civilization", to quote highlighted phrases from the article. Putting that to one side (but not all that far away), allow me to quote some of what he says about computing: >You must forgive me if I say again at this point >(I am so accustomed to misrepresentation) that I >am not proposing to ban the computer, but >emphasizing the problem of ensuring that the use >of the computer shall be really a use -- that it >shall be used as truly a means in the service of >adequately conceived human ends. More generally, >I am not suggesting that we ought to halt the >progress of science and technology, I am >insisting that the more potently they accelerate >their advance the more urgent does it become to >inaugurate another, a different sustained effort >of collaborative human creativity which is >concerned with perpetuating, strengthening and >asserting, in response to change, a full human >creativity -- the continuous collaborative >creativity that ensures significance, ends and >values, and manifests itself as consciousness >and profoundly human purpose. Part of the boring familiarity of the New Year's article Leavis is attacking is precisely what its anonymous author notably de-emphasizes, namely the ends to which computing is put. This avoidance is familiar to us from our years of experience, on one side of the fence or the other, with a situation in which the technical expert is by position no collaborator in the genuine sense but a servant de facto. The often institutionally enforced disconnect between technician and scholar is a microcosm of the much larger failure to consider the ends to which our powerful machine is put. I am not certain, but I guess that by "collaborative creativity" Leavis means the marriage of both sides. Unfortunately we are still in some instances thinking that the non-technical scholar specifies the end in mind, whereupon the technician implements it. In that circumstance both lose. As Leavis points out, the society as a whole loses. I don't wish to be accused of delusions of grandeur, but I think that when humanities computing is done right, as a meeting of minds on a level playing field, those involved have something very important to teach the rest of us.

PRESS RELEASES: http://www.targetwire.com/vpo/rm/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Collocated with the 11th International Business Rules Forum, the 2008 International Symposium on Rule Interchange and Applications (RuleML-2008) is the second symposium (after last year's highly successful RuleML-2007 - http://2007.ruleml.org/) devoted to work on practical distributed rule technologies and rule-based applications which need language standards for rules operating in the context of, e.g., the Semantic Web, Intelligent Multi- Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures and Service-Oriented Computing Applications. The RuleML symposium is a new kind of event where the Web Rules and Logic community joins the established, practically oriented Forum of the Business Rules community (http://www.businessrulesforum.com) to help cross- fertilizing between Web and Business Logic technology. The goal of RuleML-2008 is to bring together rule system providers, representatives of, and participants in, rule standardization efforts (e.g., SBVR, RuleML, RIF, PRR, CL) and open source rules communities (e.g., jBoss Rules, CLIPS/Jess, Prova, OO jDrew, Mandarax, XSB, XQuery), practitioners and technical experts, developers, users, and researchers. They will be offered an exciting venue to exchange new ideas, practical developments and experiences on issues pertinent to the interchange and application of rules in open distributed environments such as the Web. The Symposium gives emphasis on practical issues such as technical contributions and show case demonstrations of effective, practical, deployable rule-based technologies, rule interchange formats and applications as well as discussions of lessons learned that have to be taken into account when employing rule-based technologies in distributed, (partially) open, heterogeneous environments. We also welcome groundwork that helps to build an effective, practical, and deployable rule standard, improve rule technology, provide better understanding of the integration and interchange of rules, and make the current generation of rule engines and rule technology more usable for advanced Web and Service Oriented Architectures. More details in: http://2008.ruleml.org/cfp.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------- RuleML-2008 Challenge The RuleML-2008 Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2008. It addresses the system demonstration for practical use of rule technologies in distributed and/or Web-based environments. The focus of the challenge is on rule technologies (including rule languages and engines), interoperation and interchange. The challenge offers participants the chance to demonstrate their commercial and open source tools, use cases, and applications. Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications. All accepted demos will be presented in a special Challenge Session.

He is a professor of information management and teaches information ethics from the hermeneutics perspective at the Stuttgart Media University. In his Ubiquity paper "Information Technology as an Ethical Challenge" he demonstrates that the impact of information technology on society can be transformed through the ethical perspective of technologies of the self. His paper tries to provide us the answer to the question of how can we ensure that the benefits of information technology are not only distributed equitably, but that they can also be used by people to shape their own lives. * FRIESEN: Dr. Norm Friesen, a Canada Research Chair in E-Learning Practices at Thompson Rivers University, argues in his paper "Critical Theory: Ideology Critique and the Myths of E-Learning" that critical theory designates a philosophy and a research methodology that focuses on the interrelated issues of technology, politics and social change. Dr Friesen shows in depth how critical theory can be used to "de-mystify" three particular truths or myths of e-learning. *TRIPATHI: Complementing the Friesen paper, Ubiquity Associate Editor Arun Tripathi contributes his piece "Dimension of the Philosophy of Technologies: Critical Theory and Democratization of Technology."

Humanist is as I write being rebuilt from the ground up. Later in the Summer the new Humanist, looking exactly like the old except for some lovely new interface functions on the website, will be unveiled. The main difference will be in its reliability and protection from spam. Until then all messages should be sent directly to me as well as to the normal Humanist address. Once again, please be advised that I never deep-6 a message without telling the author of it, and that the number of times that has happened in the last 21 + years could be counted on the fingers of two hands, most of those in the very early days when there were fewer opportunities to be obnoxious online. Ah, for the good old days when we had our very own village idiots and bullies! Now everything's so civilized.

It is hoped that one of these will be held within the Scottish Centre for the Book. The Leverhulme Visiting Fellow will be a post-doctoral academic researcher (or of equivalent status) who is not a UK citizen and is permanently resident in any country other than the UK. The selection of suitable candidates by Napier is subject to approval by the Leverhulme Trust. Fellows are encouraged not only to conduct research but also to give lectures and seminars, and to participate in the intellectual life of the institution. The intention is to stimulate research activities and intellectual links between the visitor and the Scottish Centre for the Book. In book history, we have ongoing projects on: reading in Scotland in the twentieth century; the book in Scotland 1880-2000; print culture links with the Scottish diaspora; the role of literary magazines in political and cultural debate; women authors and their publishers; the manuscript tradition of the Teutonic Knights; German and Low Countries scientific publishing in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; censorship and the novel; the development of the paperback; and oral history approaches to book history (see sapphire.ac.uk). Our current contemporary research clusters are: copyright and globalisation; small-nation publishing; and teenage reading. The Fellowship carries an allowance for subsistence expenses of up to GBP 1,800 per month, the actual amount to depend on the amount of income or grant, if any, available to the Fellow from other sources. NB. These funds do not constitute a salary. The awards enable work on a specific range of research activities for a period of fixed duration and therefore should not be construed as a contract of employment. An allowance is available for subsistence, at GBP 390 per month, for an accompanying spouse or partner who is not in receipt of other income and who must plan to spend at least six months in the UK. A return fare (normally the cheapest return air fare available or two one-way tickets if these are more economical) will be provided for the Fellow and accompanying spouse or partner. Up to GBP 750 for travel and subsistence within the UK, away from Edinburgh, will be available for the Fellow so that he or she can attend conferences or undertake research trips. Fellows must have secured a doctorate, or be equivalently qualified, at the time of taking up the Fellowship. There is no age limit. However, the scheme is primarily intended to support younger, less experienced researchers, who have not yet spent an extended period in the UK, to enable them to develop skills and experience. Hence, those with more than eight years of postdoctoral experience would not normally be considered suitable recipients. They must be citizens of and permanently resident in any country other than the UK, and intend to return to that country at the end of their Fellowship. The tenure of a Fellowship must be for a minimum of nine and a maximum of twelve consecutive months. No additional funds will be available from the Leverhulme Trust. No Fellow may be nominated for a subsequent Leverhulme Trust Visiting Fellowship. The closing dates for applications by email to a.mccleery@napier.ac.uk is noon (BST) on 28 June 2008. Please attach: a) a brief curriculum vitae =AD maximum two pages on career and one listing publications; b) a one-page summary of (i) the proposed research and (ii) its compatibility with current work within the Scottish Centre for the Book ; c) an indication of the proposed duration of the Fellowship (9 to 12 months) and d) an indication if the candidate will be drawing on any other sources of income or grants during the Fellowship period.

Registration number SC018373 --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 08 Jun 2008 15:06:08 +0100 From: Diego Calvanese Subject: PhD positions at KRDB Centre - Free Univ. of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy CALL FOR INTEREST PhD opportunities at the KRDB Research Centre Faculty of Computer Science Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy ====================================================== The Faculty of Computer Science of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy) offers regular openings for studentships for its PhD program. Up-to-date information about how to apply for the PhD program and the studentship - including deadlines, number of positions and necessary documents - can be found in the university PhD web page (see "Public Competition Announcement for PhD courses - 24th cycle") and in the faculty PhD web page . The grant amounts roughly to 45,000 Euro over the three years of the PhD. Substantial extra funding is available for participation in international conferences, schools, and workshops. The faculty of Computer Science and its PhD program are entirely based on the English language. RESEARCH TOPICS The KRDB Research Centre for Knowledge and Data of the faculty of Computer Science invites applicants to the PhD program to get in touch with the research group, in order to have a better understanding of the possible research activities in which prospective students may be involved. Relevant research topics in the centre are the following: * Computational Logic and Deductive Databases * Computational Logic and Constraint Programming * Data and Information Integration * Description Logics and Ontology Languages * Efficient Reasoning Algorithms for Description Logics * Intelligent Access to Web Resources * Logic Based Approaches to Natural Language Understanding * Logic-Based Modelling of Biological Knowledge * Natural Language Processing * Ontology Development and Evaluation * P2P Database Integration * Query Answering in Distributed Environments * Semistructured Data Management * Temporal Logics and Temporal Databases Other research topics are listed in the personal web pages of the members of the KRDB Centre, see . The research activities in the KRDB research centre require good knowledge of Logic and of Foundations of Databases, and some knowledge of Artificial Intelligence and of Knowledge Representation. Good knowledge of English is also preferred. THE KRDB RESEARCH CENTRE In recent years, knowledge and data base applications have progressively converged towards integrated technologies which try to overcome the limits of each single discipline. To be useful in realistic applications, a modern knowledge representation and reasoning system must be able to handle large data sets, and to provide expressive query languages. On the other hand, the information stored on the Web, in digital libraries, and in data warehouses is now very complex and with deep semantic structures, thus requiring more intelligent modelling languages and methodologies, and reasoning services on those complex representations to support design, management, flexible access, and integration. The KRDB Research Centre was founded in 2002, and it now comprises 12 research staff and 9 PhD students. The centre aims at being an international centre of excellence in basic and applied research on KRDB technologies and at proposing to selected enterprises innovative ideas and technologies based on the developed research. The KRDB centre participated in national and international projects, it is currently involved in two European projects and three European Networks of Excellence, and it is a member of the Advisory Committee of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The international prestige of the centre is evidenced by the participation of its members as conference and PC chairs, editors of international journals, invited speakers at international events, and by their publication score in international journals and conferences.

CONSIDERING THE FUTURE OF LEARNING "In contrast to earlier e-learning approaches that simply replicated traditional models, the Web 2.0 movement with its associated array of social software tools offers opportunities to move away from the last century's highly centralized, industrial model of learning and toward individual learner empowerment through designs that focus on collaborative, networked interaction" -- McLoughlin and Lee, "Future Learning Landscapes" The future of learning is theme of the June/July 2008 issue of INNOVATE. Articles include: "Future Learning Landscapes: Transforming Pedagogy through Social Software" by Catherine McLoughlin and Mark J. W. Lee "McLoughlin and Lee posit that future learning environments must capitalize on the potential of Web 2.0 by combining social software tools with connectivist pedagogical models." "Rhizomatic Education: Community as Curriculum" by Dave Cormier "In the rhizomatic model, knowledge is negotiated, and the learning experience is a social as well as a personal knowledge creation process with mutable goals and constantly negotiated premises." "A Singular Vision for a Disparate Future: Technology Adoption Patterns in Higher Learning Through 2035" by Robert G. Henshaw Henshaw "examines factors likely to influence technology adoption within U.S. higher education over the next 30 years and their impact on education providers and consumers."

OPENNESS AND LEARNING IN TODAY'S WORLD How open access and interactive Web 2.0 applications are changing the learning environment is focus of the latest issue of ELEARNING PAPERS. The papers' authors consider the impact of these technologies both on individual learners and the institutions that facilitate the learning process. Papers include: "Web 2.0 and New Learning Paradigms" by Antonio Bartolome "This article is sceptic about the current changes at eLearning institutions and businesses, but points out some of the changes that will take place outside their courses and programmes." "Universities and Web 2.0: Institutional Challenges" by Juan Freire "Teachers, researchers and students started some years ago to use social software tools, but in few cases these experiences have allowed any scaling from the individual to the institutional level. The promises and potential of web 2.0 in universities need an adequate strategy for their development which has to confront the bottlenecks and fears common in these institutions, which could explain the lack of adaptation." "Is the world open?" by Richard Straub "The rise of social networking sites, virtual worlds, blogs, wikis and 3D Internet give us a first idea of the potential of the 'interactive and collaborative web' dubbed Web 2.0. Now we have the infrastructure and tools to operate in new ways in open systems. While many of the thoughts about openness and the need for more open social systems have been around for some time, this new infrastructure and new tools accelerate the movement."

CRITIQUING THE CLAIMS OF E-LEARNING "Critical theory designates a philosophy and a research methodology that focuses on the interrelated issues of technology, politics and social change. Despite its emphasis on technology, critical theory arguably remains underutilized in areas of practical research that lie at the confluence of social, political and technological concerns, such as the study of the use of the usability of information and communication technologies (ICTs) or of their use in educational institutions." In "Critical Theory: Ideology Critique and the Myths of E-Learning" (UBIQUITY, vol. 9, no. 22, June 3-9, 2008), Norm Friesen uses critical theory to de-mystify three claims of e-learning: -- "that we live in a 'knowledge economy'" -- "that users enjoy ubiquitous, 'anywhere anytime' access" -- "that social and institutional change is motivated by a number of fixed 'laws' of progress in computer technology" The paper is available at http://www.acm.org/ubiquity/volume_9/v9i22_friesen.html Ubiquity [ISSN 1530-2180] is a free, Web-based publication of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), "dedicated to fostering critical analysis and in-depth commentary on issues relating to the nature, constitution, structure, science, engineering, technology, practices, and paradigms of the IT profession."

ASSESSING THE FUTURE OF SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION The Center for Studies in Higher Education is conducting research to "understand the needs and desires of faculty for in-progress scholarly communication (i.e., forms of communication employed as research is being executed) as well as archival publication." With the study now into its second year, the Center has released an interim report with some of the early findings based on interviews with over 150 faculty members in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Some of the questions that the study seeks to answer include: -- "What will scholars want to do in their research and with their research results, and what new forms of communication do or do not support those desires?" -- "How will scholars want to disseminate and receive input on their work at various lifecycle stages?" -- "How do institutions and other stakeholders support these faculty needs, if at all?"

Surrender to This Algorithm" By Gary Wolf Wired Magazine, 16.05 http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/magazine/16-05/ff_wozniak Piotr Wozniak's software program SuperMemo is "based on the insight that there is an ideal moment to practice what you've learned. Practice too soon and you waste your time. Practice too late and you've forgotten the material and have to relearn it. The right time to practice is just at the moment you're about to forget. . . .

Ilona Roth, is online in its entirety and may be downloaded free of charge. See http://www.britac.ac.uk/pubs/cat/pba.html. "This volume brings the theories and methods of a range of disciplines to bear on the imaginative workings of the human mind. The distinguished contributors demonstrate their own imaginative flair in a fascinating and varied collection of essays about this most elusive and special human capacity." The downloading is tedious -- each chapter requires a separate operation -- but then one saves the GBP 45 which the publisher charges for the physical object.

Below the signature I've included our Editor's Note, which highlights some of what you'll find in our latest issue. As always, thank you for your interest and support. Please send comments and questions about this issue to jep-info@umich.edu. Best regards, Shana ++++++++++++ Shana Kimball Managing Editor, Journal of Electronic Publishing Scholarly Publishing Office University of Michigan kimballs@umich.edu "For more than a decade, electronic journals--periodicals that are distributed over computer networks--have operated on the periphery of academe, largely spurned by authors, publishers, and readers as no match for the traditional printed journal," the Chronicle of Higher Education wrote in 1991. Despite the Chronicle's 1991 skepticism, authors, publishers, and readers have embraced electronic publishing. The question today, almost 17 years later, is how print--both journals and books--can continue to compete with scholarly communication over computer networks. What a reversal! One harbinger of the reversal is that even the venerable MLA Style Manual now gives equal weight to electronic and paper citations. Kevin S. Hawkins, an electronic publishing librarian at the University of Michigan University Library, reviews the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, 3rd edition, and identifies many of the changes--good and bad. http://hdl.handle.net/2027/spo.3336451.0011.210 There is a difference between embracing an idea and making it work. Some problems have been exacerbated in the move from paper to electronic publishing. Carol Ann Meyer, who is developing a preprint production tracking system at Aries Systems, addresses the issue of citations in "Reference Accuracy: Best Practices for Making the Links." http://hdl.handle.net/2027/spo.3336451.0011.206 In a world where we rely on computers to make our links (and we all know how dumb computers are), it is even more important for publishers and authors to get them right. Electronic publishing opens new ways of searching. At one time scholars had to wade through piles of pages to find a single fact. Today that is easily accomplished with general search engines, but new search engines with new strategies can help home in on a much smaller set of results from a much broader universe. Bruce McGregor, a publishing consultant specializing in indexing and editing, details the new world of search in "Facets and Hierarchies in Scientific Search." http://hdl.handle.net/2027/spo.3336451.0011.205 Remmel Nunn, vice president for new product development at Readex, also is interested in searching and in the potential for searchers to help one another through a form of social networking. In "Crossroads: A New Paradigm for Electronically Researching Primary Source Documents," he explores how a new tool and a new collection might establish a new paradigm for presenting, searching, annotating, and sharing material. http://hdl.handle.net/2027/spo.3336451.0011.207 The amount of information available electronically grows all the time, and in academe, electronic publishing is becoming easier and cheaper. With the right tools, any publisher can turn out a free or nearly free journal, writes Julian Fisher in "Scholarly Publishing Re-invented: Real Costs and Real Freedoms." Fisher, a neurologist, has developed electronic publishing and decision-support tools, and offers some hard numbers to back his claims. http://hdl.handle.net/2027/spo.3336451.0011.204 Joseph J. Esposito, an independent consultant focusing on digital media, looks at how the market determines publishing strategies and business models in "Open Access 2.0: Access to Scholarly Publications Moves to a New Phase." The less a reader knows about a field, the more he needs the mediation of a publisher, and the less useful open access may be, Esposito writes. http://hdl.handle.net/2027/spo.3336451.0011.203 Seventeen years ago people said "maybe" they would use computer networks for short pieces like journal articles, but books, never! In this issue two authors write about electronically publishing books. Colin Steele, former university librarian at Australian National University, looks at open access monograph publishing arrangements between libraries and publishers in Australia, the U.S., and Europe in "Scholarly Monograph Publishing in the 21st Century: The Future More Than Ever Should Be an Open Book." http://hdl.handle.net/2027/spo.3336451.0011.201 In "Scholarly Publication at the Digital Tipping Point," Phil Pochoda, director of the University of Michigan Press, focuses on an open-access monograph publishing arrangement between the press and the library at Michigan, a specific example of what Steele writes about more generally. http://hdl.handle.net/2027/spo.3336451.0011.202 Recent conferences have covered the same topics, and we have reports from two of them.

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 [...] Return-Path: Received: from fep16.clear.net.nz (fep16 [192.168.16.117]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0K2A00GN0BGTKU70@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz;

The Archive is also publishing the collection list for the Victoria University Library in Toronto and Alexander Gourlay's revised Glossary of Terms, Names, and Concepts in Blake [go to Archive/Resources for Further Research and Archive/About Blake respectively]. Blake etched twenty-seven plates for _Marriage_ in relief in 1790. Copy K is an early printing of plates 21-24, and copies L and M are early printings of plates 25-27, "A Song of Liberty." Copy K is in the Fitzwilliam Museum, copy L is in the Essick Collection, and copy M, formerly in the Bentley Collection, is in the Victoria University Library. Only nine complete copies of the _Marriage_ are known to exist; copies K, L, and M, apparently printed as autonomous pamphlets, join six complete copies previously published in the Archive (and now republished with corrected transcriptions). The four plates of copy K were printed in black ink on both sides of a single sheet of wove paper, folded down the middle after printing to form two leaves. Plate 21 is in its first state and the vignette on plate 24 is missing, probably masked during printing but possibly not yet executed. In copies L and M, plate 25 is in its first state, and thus these copies were also printed very early in the production process; in copy M, the eight lines of the "Chorus" on plate 27 were masked during printing. The plates were printed on single sheets folded down the middle to form pamphlets of two leaves. Copy L was printed in brownish-black on laid paper and copy M was printed in grayish-black on wove paper. Like all the illuminated books in the Archive, the text and images of _Marriage_ copies K, L, and M are fully searchable and are supported by our Inote and ImageSizer applications. With the Archive's Compare feature, users can easily juxtapose multiple impressions of any plate across the different copies of this or any of the other illuminated books. New protocols for transcription, which produce improved accuracy and fuller documentation in editors' notes, have been applied to all copies of _Marriage_ in the Archive. With the publication of _Marriage_ copies K, L, and M, the Archive now contains fully searchable and scalable electronic editions of sixty- five copies of Blake's nineteen illuminated books in the context of full bibliographic information about each work, careful diplomatic transcriptions of all texts, detailed descriptions of all images, and extensive bibliographies. In addition to illuminated books, the Archive contains many important manuscripts and series of engravings, sketches, and water color drawings, including Blake's illustrations to Thomas Gray's _Poems_, water color and engraved illustrations to Dante's _Divine Comedy_, the large color printed drawings of 1795 and c. 1805, the Linnell and Butts sets of the _Book of Job_ water colors and the sketchbook containing drawings for the engraved illustrations to the _Book of Job_, the water color illustrations to Robert Blair's _The Grave_, and the water color illustrations to John Milton's _Paradise Regained_, _L'Allegro_, and _Il Penseroso_, as well as the Butts and Thomas sets of illustrations to Milton's _Comus_, _Nativity_ ode, and _Paradise Lost_. As always, the William Blake Archive is a free site, imposing no access restrictions and charging no subscription fees. The site is made possible by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the continuing support of the Library of Congress, and the cooperation of the international array of libraries and museums that have generously given us permission to reproduce works from their collections in the Archive.

The digital material generated from and used by academic and other research is to an increasing extent being held in formal data management systems; these systems are variously categorized as digital repositories, libraries or archives, although the distinction between them relates more to the sort of data that they contain and the use to which the data is put, rather than to any major difference in functionality. Modern repository systems allow us to move away from the model of a stand-alone repository, library or archive, where objects are simply deposited for subsequent access and download. Instead, researchers are developing more sophisticated models in which these containers of data are integrated components of a larger e-Science research infrastructure, incorporating advanced tools and workflows, and are being used to model complex webs of information and capture scholarly or scientific processes in their entirety, from raw data through to final publications. Repositories have been successfully combined with data grid technologies, and in addition computational grids seem to offer possible applications in digital preservation and curation, such as automatic metadata extraction and index creation.

In 2006, the first DHCS Colloquium (http://dhcs2006.uchicago.edu/) examined the challenges and opportunities posed by the "million books" digitization projects. The second DHCS Colloquium in 2007 (http://dhcs.northwestern.edu) focused on searching and querying as both tools and methodologies. The theme of the third Chicago DHCS Colloquium is "Making Sense" =AD an exploration of how meaning is created and apprehended at the transition 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. Sponsored by the Humanities Division, the Computational Institute, NSIT Academic Technologies and the University Library at the University of Chicago, Northwestern University and the College of Science and Letters at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

In 2006, the first DHCS Colloquium (http://dhcs2006.uchicago.edu/) examined the challenges and opportunities posed by the "million books" digitization projects. The second DHCS Colloquium in 2007 (http://dhcs.northwestern.edu) focused on searching and querying as both 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 transition 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. Sponsored by the Humanities Division, the Computational Institute, NSIT Academic Technologies and the University Library at the University of Chicago, Northwestern University and the College of Science and Letters at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

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, 14 Jun 2008 14:11:20 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group Subject: update for the William Blake Archive [Sent on behalf of William Shaw / wsshaw@email.unc.edu. --WM] 12 June 2008 The William Blake Archive is pleased to announce the publication of the electronic editions of _The Marriage of Heaven and Hell_ copies K, L, and M [go to Archive/Works/ Illuminated Books/Marriage]. The Archive is also publishing the collection list for the Victoria University Library in Toronto and Alexander Gourlay's revised Glossary of Terms, Names, and Concepts in Blake [go to Archive/Resources for Further Research and Archive/About Blake respectively]. Blake etched twenty-seven plates for _Marriage_ in relief in 1790. Copy K is an early printing of plates 21-24, and copies L and M are early printings of plates 25-27, "A Song of Liberty." Copy K is in the Fitzwilliam Museum, copy L is in the Essick Collection, and copy M, formerly in the Bentley Collection, is in the Victoria University Library. Only nine complete copies of the _Marriage_ are known to exist; copies K, L, and M, apparently printed as autonomous pamphlets, join six complete copies previously published in the Archive (and now republished with corrected transcriptions). The four plates of copy K were printed in black ink on both sides of a single sheet of wove paper, folded down the middle after printing to form two leaves. Plate 21 is in its first state and the vignette on plate 24 is missing, probably masked during printing but possibly not yet executed. In copies L and M, plate 25 is in its first state, and thus these copies were also printed very early in the production process; in copy M, the eight lines of the "Chorus" on plate 27 were masked during printing. The plates were printed on single sheets folded down the middle to form pamphlets of two leaves. Copy L was printed in brownish-black on laid paper and copy M was printed in grayish-black on wove paper. Like all the illuminated books in the Archive, the text and images of _Marriage_ copies K, L, and M are fully searchable and are supported by our Inote and ImageSizer applications. With the Archive's Compare feature, users can easily juxtapose multiple impressions of any plate across the different copies of this or any of the other illuminated books. New protocols for transcription, which produce improved accuracy and fuller documentation in editors' notes, have been applied to all copies of _Marriage_ in the Archive. With the publication of _Marriage_ copies K, L, and M, the Archive now contains fully searchable and scalable electronic editions of sixty- five copies of Blake's nineteen illuminated books in the context of full bibliographic information about each work, careful diplomatic transcriptions of all texts, detailed descriptions of all images, and extensive bibliographies. In addition to illuminated books, the Archive contains many important manuscripts and series of engravings, sketches, and water color drawings, including Blake's illustrations to Thomas Gray's _Poems_, water color and engraved illustrations to Dante's _Divine Comedy_, the large color printed drawings of 1795 and c. 1805, the Linnell and Butts sets of the _Book of Job_ water colors and the sketchbook containing drawings for the engraved illustrations to the _Book of Job_, the water color illustrations to Robert Blair's _The Grave_, and the water color illustrations to John Milton's _Paradise Regained_, _L'Allegro_, and _Il Penseroso_, as well as the Butts and Thomas sets of illustrations to Milton's _Comus_, _Nativity_ ode, and _Paradise Lost_. As always, the William Blake Archive is a free site, imposing no access restrictions and charging no subscription fees.

Under this agreement, the=20 NEH and DFG hope to encourage American and German=20 researchers to collaborate on innovative digital=20 humanities projects. DFG and NEH are currently=20 developing two Bilateral Digital Humanities Grant=20 Programs, which will have deadlines in early autumn 2008: DFG/NEH Bilateral Digital Humanities Program:=20 2008 Call for Bilateral Symposia and Workshops These grants provide funding for one bilateral=20 symposium or workshop (or a series of two=20 bilateral symposia or workshops taking place=20 within the duration of one year) in the area of=20 digital humanities. The goal of this call is to=20 promote stronger bilateral cooperation between=20 the digital humanities communities in the two=20 countries (Germany and the United States) by=20 initiating or intensifying contact between scholars in one particular field. Proposals for Bilateral Symposia or Workshops can=20 focus on any area of the digital humanities, including: * capacity building or networking workshops=20 preparing for future more intensified bilateral=20 collaboration based around a single theme,=20 technology, media form or humanities discipline; * comparing the needs of researchers in both the=20 U.S. and Germany and their uses of digitized resources; and * exploring possible and existing use of=20 information technology in the humanities in both communities. DFG/NEH Bilateral Digital Humanities Program:=20 2008 Call for Joint Digitization Projects These grants provide funding for up to three=20 years of development in any of the following=20 areas: new digitization projects and pilot=20 projects; the addition of important materials to=20 existing digitization projects; and the=20 development of related infrastructure to support=20 international digitization work and the use of digital resources. Proposals for digitization projects might include: * digitizing humanities collections that are=20 relevant to either or both scholarly communities=20 for use in research and higher education, * developing a detailed plan for the digitization=20 of humanities collections that could benefit=20 humanities research and performing a limited=20 pilot digitization program to test shared infrastructure and procedures, * connecting existing split digitized collections=20 and detailing suitable transatlantic standards=20 and interoperability strategies, and * creating a virtual archive or resource that=20 would join complementary materials (analog or digital) internationally. Collaboration between U.S. and German partners is=20 a key requirement for each of these grant=20 categories. Each application must have one=20 German partner, and one U.S. partner, and there=20 must be a project coordinator from each country.=20 The partners will collaborate to write a single=20 application package, which the U.S. partner will=20 submit to the NEH and the German partner will submit to the DFG.

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 In consideration of our change in speakers, the deadline for proposal submissions is now 15 June 2008 Call for submissions for "Digitizing Early 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 seminar will also be invited to submit papers for a collection on "Digitizing Early Material Culture, from Antiquity to 1700," to be edited by Brent Nelson (University of Saskatchewan) and Melissa Terras (University College London) for the New Technologies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies series at MRTS (series editors Ray Siemens and William Bowen). Proposal abstracts should be sent electronically as a MS Word, WordPerfect, or pdf file to: Brent Nelson, conference committee chair, brent.nelson@usask.ca. In consideration of our change in speakers, the deadline for proposal submissions is now 15 June 2008, and complete papers will be due 15 September 2008 Please see the conference website for further developments: http://ocs.usask.ca/casta08 --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 06:35:02 +0100 From: Diego Calvanese Subject: RR 2008 - extended deadlines 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EXTENDED DEADLINES: Abstract submission: June 21, 2008 Paper submission: June 28, 2008 submission url: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rr2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 [...] Return-Path: Received: from fep13.clear.net.nz (fep13 [192.168.16.114]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0K2P004TG2OY76C4@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz;

It was on the iBanjo blog: http://blog.red-bean.com/sussman/?p=96 Programmer Insecurity (...) My buddy Fitz and I have long preached about best practices in open source software development -- how one should be open and transparent with one's work, accept code reviews, give constructive criticism, and generally communicate as actively as possible with peers. One of the main community "anti-patterns" we've talked about is people writing "code bombs". That is, what do you do when somebody shows up to an open source project with a gigantic new feature that took months to write? Who has the time to review thousands of lines of code? What if there was a bad design decision made early in the process -- does it even make sense to point it out? Dropping code-bombs on communities is rarely good for the project: the team is either forced to reject it outright, or accept it and deal with a giant opaque blob that is hard to understand, change, or maintain. It moves the project decidedly in one direction without much discussion or consensus. (...) And somewhere near the end, the author even adds a bit on how tools shape behaviour: Moral: even though one shouldn't depend on technical solutions to social problems, default tool behaviors matter a lot. --- It seems that humanist scholars and programmers have lot in common after all... with one exception: in the humanities world, you either write your book / article / thesis (and get thrashed if you get it wrong), or you do not. --- Or do we have subversion systems for humanities scholarship, only I do not know about them (yes, there are procedures --- talks over coffee and such, but how about *tools*)? How do we "review code" (as opposed to "reviewing product")?

I am wondering how commonly in the digital humanities practitioners respond to the demand that they justify their work by doing case studies. Is the use of this term well understood? How are case studies conducted so that they avoid being merely anecdotal? Are these studies followed up by the attempt to extract from them common principles, or is it (do we believe it to be) too early in the development of the digital humanities to be in a position to draw conclusions from these studies? Those who would argue the latter should consider, I would think, that the humanities have been digital for half a century. If this half century isn't enough time, why not? Also they should consider the fact that throughout this last half century, beginning in the 1960s, people have been saying, as Anthony Kenny did in 1992, "the testing time has now arrived" (Computers and the Humanities, British Library). There are a number of essays on case studies in Critical Inquiry 33.4 (http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/ci/2007/33/4), which offers the introductory essay by Lauren Berland for free, and 34.1 (http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/ci/2007/34/1), which contains marvellous essays by Ian Hacking and Carlo Ginzburg among others.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on it. From time to time in discussions amongst ourselves arguments take place about what is important and what is not. (If this didn't happen we'd be in real trouble, no?) Paradigmatic is a particular incident at the ACH/ALLC in Charlottesville VA some years back, a staged but quite genuine dispute between a "text is an ordered hierarchy of content objects" contingent on one side and a "text is an n-dimensional autopoietic field" contingent on the other. Now I happen to be firmly on the latter side of the house, but abstracting myself from myself I note that the former has its origins in the thinking of an analytical philosopher and a theologically minded chap, with strong backing from a philologist and behind them all a fellow whose life-long passion was the processing of highly structured documents, indeed documents written to conform to pre-existing templates. I also note that the latter has its origins in literary studies of a particularly adventurous sort. You would expect such an opposition to lead to a fight, would you not? On other occasions I have been party to arguments between historians on the one side and, yes again, literary types on the other, the subject of the argument being the degree to which interpretation compromises the digital objects we build. Again, no great surprise, but the difference between the opposed parties is not so great as in the former example. The by now obvious observation is this: that how we see what we do in humanities computing appears very differently depending on how we've been trained -- a training that tends to be tacit and thus a hidden impediment to deeper discussion. For example, that which rigid computational structures cannot accommodate is totally unimportant if you are accommodating documents written to have none. If you're accommodating highly factual data, then the residue is not utterly insignificant, but it is not impossible to come to a good decision about how you capture what's most likely to be significant to the most number of people. If you're trying to match such structures to a literary text, considered as a work of imaginative language, then the residue is, as McGann says, "the hem of a quantum garment", and thoughts about how to use computing, it would seem to me, really do have to go in another direction. So you're likely to have a very, very different opinion on how things should go than even the historian does. Where this is leading is a destination I think quite important for us to contemplate: if humanities computing is only about method, then there is nothing to say which is not said in the words of one's discipline of origin (though perhaps with somewhat of a strange accent), and what the future holds is more of the present: disciplinary expatriots tending a common ground, not the beginnings of a new nation; or, if you will, a permanently multicultural society, never a core group of natives. And what we've got to get better at is realizing where our differences are coming from. Hence anthropology takes on a metadisciplinary role for us, I would think. "The relativist bent...anthropology so often induces in those who have much traffic with its materials, is thus in some sense implicit in the field as such.... One cannot read too long about Nayar matriliny, Aztec sacrifice, the Hopi verb, or the convolutions of the hominid transition and not begin at least to consider the possibility that, to quote Montaigne... 'each man calls barbarism whatever is not his own practice... for we have no other criterion of reason than the example and idea of the opinions and customs of the country we live in.'" (Clifford Geertz, "Anti Anti-Relativism", Available Light: Anthropological Reflections on Philosophical Topics, Princeton, 2000, p. 45). Comments?

Are you affiliated with a center or initiative that supports group inquiry? Are you part of an interdisciplinary research group? Please consider contributing to the following proposed collection: CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Edited Collection on Technology-Focused Collaborative Research in English Studies WORKING TITLE: "Investigating Digital Tools, Texts, and Use Practices: Collaborative Approaches to Research in English Studies" Submissions are sought for an anthology of scholarly essays on the subject of technology-focused collaborative research conducted by groups of investigators working in English studies, defined broadly. Submissions from scholars trained in English studies or rhetoric and composition but working in newer areas such as software studies or new media studies are welcome. In particular, submissions from scholars affiliated with research centers and other larger-scale collaborative research initiatives are encouraged. This collection is premised on the idea that evolving technologies, texts, and use practices are impacting not only our research questions but also our approaches to conducting and disseminating research. Of particular interest are the ways in which collaborative project-based research teams or work groups are investigating technology-related questions and the lessons that can be learned from these cases. This collaborative research might bring together faculty, graduate students, and perhaps undergraduates. At times, it is interdisciplinary. In some cases, it may involve researchers from multiple campuses or even from beyond the academy. The anthology will feature two sections: Part I: Research Models for the Twenty-First Century=ADPart I will focus on the lessons that can be learned from various collaborative approaches to investigating digital technologies, texts, use practices, and culture. Special attention will be paid to technology-focused research centers, project-based research, initiatives that involve students as researchers, and multicampus and/or interdisciplinary research groups. The purpose of Part I is not only to present models but also to reflect on what these specific cases demonstrate about the challenges involved in planning, establishing, managing, and sustaining collaborative research initiatives. Part II: New Purposes, Audiences, and Contexts=ADPart II will address the goals, outcomes, audiences, and publication contexts associated with collaborative research into digital technologies, texts, use practices, and culture. The goal of Part II will be to provide a variety of perspectives on why this research is necessary, what it can and should accomplish (outcomes), who it might benefit both within and beyond the academy, and how it can and should be disseminated. Attention to topics such as ethics, the state of scholarly publication, and issues of authorship, authority, and copyright will be woven throughout the chapters. Although this list is by no means exhaustive, essays might respond to one or more of the following questions: What are the advantages and challenges of=20 collaborative inquiry for the study of digital=20 tools, texts, use practices, and culture? How does research happen within teams or work groups? Which models of collaborative work are relevant=20 for English studies (e.g., "Big Science,"=20 software development) and how have they been adapted in practice? How is collaborative research funded, managed, and sustained over time? In what physical or virtual spaces does this work take place? What resources are essential? How does this research provide opportunities for=20 student learning and professionalization? What are the outcomes or deliverables of collaborative research? Who are the audiences, clients, or beneficiaries of this research? Beyond traditional scholarly venues, how are=20 research outcomes being disseminated (e.g.,=20 blogs, Web sites, wikis, multimedia)? What issues must be considered (ethics,=20 promotion/tenure, authorship, authority, copyright)?

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, 23 Jun 2008 07:11:42 +0100 From: Nick Bassiliades Subject: RuleML-2008: Call for Lightning/Highlight Talks & Fast Abstracts Due to a number of requests we have decided to extend the submission deadline for challenge/demo papers by 2 weeks. NEW deadline for challenge/demo paper submission: July 2 Accepted demo papers are published in Springer LNCS Proceedings. ===================================================================== 2008 International RuleML Symposium on Rule Interchange and Applications (RuleML-2008) October 30-31, 2008, Orlando, Florida http://2008.ruleml.org =================================================== Call for Lightning/Highlight Talks & Fast Abstracts =================================================== Lightning Talks --------------- A lightning talk is a five-minute presentation on any topic of interest to the RuleML community; it can be a new idea, a technology, an evaluation, an observation, a complaint, an explanation, a suggestion, a report of success or failure, a call to action, a description of a technique, or a lament. In general, it is supposed to be a short visionary talk which should initiate discussion. If you are a rule developer working on an exciting project and you do not have the time to submit a full paper, Lightning talks are a great way to interact with the RuleML community and receive feedback on your ideas. Lightning talks are presented back-to-back with a strictly enforced five minute limit, so make sure that you can fit your presentation within this time span. People interested at giving a lightning talk during RuleML-2008 should show their their interest by sending an email to ruleml2008@easychair.org by August 13, 2008, including a title and a 250-word abstract of their intended talk. Decisions will be notified by September 1st. Highlight Talks --------------- We invite the submission of outstanding full papers that have been published between 2007 and the submission deadline (August 13,2008). Publications that are "in press" and already linked on the journal web site are also welcome. A group of experts will select the papers to be presented at the meeting considering the impact of the work on the field, the likelihood that the work makes a good presentation, and the relevance for the topics of RuleML-2008, in general. Submissions should be sent directly to the RuleML-2008 chairs at ruleml2008@easychair.org by August 13, 2008, and must include the following: * Name/affiliation/email of submitter (assumed to be the presenter; note that the presenter cannot change because the identity and ability to present of that person will be an essential selection criterion). * Names/affiliations/email of ALL coauthors (note: any name appearing on a published paper has to be added here). Note that all co-authors have to agree to the submission and that it is the responsibility of the submitter to guarantee that all co- author email addresses are correct (email notifications of the submission will be sent to all co-authors). * Additional contact information (for presenter). * A 250-word abstract-like argument that explains how the submitted paper(s) suit the goal of presenting highlights that impacted the field. * Sources of original publication(s) (Year, Journal, Vol., pages). * PDF with paper(s) (note: in case of the submission of 2 papers, both have to be merged into one single PDF; all reviews will be based on the content of this PDF). * Optional: link to Google Video demonstrating presentation skills of presenter. * Note that we will need PDF submissions; the system will neither be able to handle ASCII, nor Word, nor LaTeX, nor anything other than standard PDF. It is the responsibility of the submitter to verify that the PDF is completely viewable/printable by all major operating systems (LINUX, MacOS, Windows). * Each presenter can submit a maximum of one application to present a highlight. The maximal number of submissions per author/co-author is 5. All submissions will be evaluated by a group of reviewers. Reviewers will consider the following criteria: * Relevance, interest, and value of the topic to RuleML-2008 attendees, * Impact of the paper(s) on rules (while the impact of papers on science is not fully reflected by ISI/Google-like impact factors or high number of downloads, high values in such factors will clearly stand as a strong argument for acceptance), * "Presentability" of the work to a large, diverse audience, * Quality of oral presentations by the submitter (if none). These "soft" criteria attempt to capture the underlying concept, namely the presentation of exciting and thought-provoking seminars that will both contribute to the success and attraction-value of RuleML-2008 and to the impact the meeting has on advancing rule interchange and applications. The criterion of "presentability" accounts for the fact that some papers that will completely change the field, or will become citation records may not translate to exciting seminars. The selected Highlights will be presented in a special track during the RuleML-2008 Symposium. All presentations will have to be completed within 20 minutes and will be followed by 5-minute discussions. While presenters are expected to focus mostly on the chosen paper(s), short infusions of more recent data are welcome. Decisions will be notified by September 1st. Fast Abstracts -------------- Fast Abstracts at RuleML-2008 are short presentations, either on new ideas or work in progress, or radical opinions that can address any issue relevant to RuleML-2008. Fast Abstracts provide an opportunity to receive early feedback from the community. Contributions are particularly solicited from industrial practitioners and academics that may not have been able to prepare full papers, but seek an opportunity to engage with the RuleML community. Fast Abstracts should be 4-pages long, and must be formatted in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). The submission deadline is August 13, 2008. Submissions should be sent directly by email to ruleml2008@easychair.org, and they will be refereed on the relevance to RuleML 2008, but also on their novelty of idea and/oor on their capacity to stimulate and intrigue the reader. Accepted contributions will be published in electronic form (at the Symposium's Web site and on CD), and an author will deliver a short talk in the Fast Abstracts track at the conference. Decisions will be notified by September 1st. Authors of accepted fast abstracts must provide the camera ready version by September 15. At least one author of each accepted Fast Abstract is expected to register to the conference before or on September 15. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================= The RuleML-2008 Symposium ========================= Collocated with the 11th International Business Rules Forum, the 2008 International Symposium on Rule Interchange and Applications (RuleML-2008) is the second symposium (after last year's highly successful RuleML-2007 - http://2007.ruleml.org/) devoted to work on practical distributed rule technologies and rule-based applications which need language standards for rules operating in the context of, e.g., the Semantic Web, Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures and Service-Oriented Computing Applications. The RuleML symposium is a new kind of event where the Web Rules and Logic community joins the established, practically oriented Forum of the Business Rules community ( http://www.businessrulesforum.com) to help cross- fertilizing between Web and Business Logic technology. The goal of RuleML-2008 is to bring together rule system providers, representatives of, and participants in, rule standardization efforts (e.g., SBVR, RuleML, RIF, PRR, CL) and open source rules communities (e.g., jBoss Rules, CLIPS/Jess, Prova, OO jDrew, Mandarax, XSB, XQuery), practitioners and technical experts, developers, users, and researchers. They will be offered an exciting venue to exchange new ideas, practical developments and experiences on issues pertinent to the interchange and application of rules in open distributed environments such as the Web. The Symposium gives emphasis on practical issues such as technical contributions and show case demonstrations of effective, practical, deployable rule-based technologies, rule interchange formats and applications as well as discussions of lessons learned that have to be taken into account when employing rule-based technologies in distributed, (partially) open, heterogeneous environments. We also welcome groundwork that helps to build an effective, practical, and deployable rule standard, improve rule technology, provide better understanding of the integration and interchange of rules, and make the current generation of rule engines and rule technology more usable for advanced Web and Service Oriented Architectures. -------------------------------------------------------------------- RuleML-2008 Highlights * Keynote speakers: o Michael Kifer (State University of New York at Stony Brook), on WC3's Rule Interchange Format (RIF). Joint keynote between RuleML-2008 and RR2008. o David Luckham (Stanford University, USA) on complex event processing. o Paul Haley (Haley Systems, Inc) on business rules. o Benjamin Grosof (Vulcan, Inc.) on the SILK KRR system of the HALO project. * Joint Lunch Panel held in conjunction with the co-located Business Rules Forum on "Rules on the Web". * Lightning talks/Highlight talks * A RuleML-2008 Challenge with prizes to demonstrate tools, use cases, and applications. * Industry, demo and scientific research & development papers and presentations advancing and assessing the state of the art in event and rule-based systems selected in a peer-reviewed fashion by an international program committee. * Papers will be published as a Springer LNCS proceedings. A special issue (IEEE TKDE pending) will be forthcoming. * Social events to promote networking among the symposium delegates in an informal setting. -------------------------------------------------------------------- RuleML-2008 Challenge The RuleML-2008 Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2008. It addresses the system demonstration for practical use of rule technologies in distributed and/or Web-based environments. The focus of the challenge is on rule technologies (including rule languages and engines), interoperation and interchange. The challenge offers participants the chance to demonstrate their commercial and open source tools, use cases, and applications. Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications. All accepted demos will be presented in a special Challenge Session. Submissions to the RuleML Challenge 2008 consist of a demo paper (up to 8 pages), describing the demo show case, and a link to more information about the demo/show case, e.g. a project site, an online demonstration, a presentation, or a download site. Demo papers should contain a substantial presentation of the system to enable a proper evaluation of the techniques used. The content of papers should be sufficiently substantial for publication in the conference proceedings. The demo paper should be submitted through EasyChair, while the demo link should be submitted through the Challenge Website, after which it will be publicly available immediately.

Let me begin by commenting on Renear's position that there are real abstract objects like works (let's say "The New Science" by G. Vico) independent of any real physical object (like the copy of the English translation with a coffee stain on the 2nd page on my shelf.) This Platonic position is very useful and is, I believe, how we model the documentary universe for the purposes of organizing copies of books in libraries. I believe FRBR takes such a Platonic view, though I am not the expert Renear is. By hypothesizing that there is a "New Science" real abstract object one can then organize editions, and then copies the way we expect libraries to. Further, we often talk this way. When I ask someone if they have read "The New Science" I am not asking if they have read my copy, but if they have read the same work in the abstract, but still real sense. I can test whether they have by asking about that work and there are real consequences to their answers. That said, I am now wondering if we don't also operate with a indexical model of textuality in our everyday life. When I am in the local pub and there is a text that reads, "Today's Special, Meatloaf with Veggies", that text can only be understood at a particular time ("today", well actually yesterday) and in a particular place (the pub on campus.) This model of what a text is could be extended to argue that all that is real is the performance of reading - my reading it yesterday and choosing not to order meatloaf. I want to call this the approach to a text since in many cases it is not only the place and time, but the movement that is important. A STOP sign means something different depending on what direction you are driving. While this model has received attention, I don't think the everyday texts we interact with have been treated as interesting for this model. I want to say that the variety and quantity of indexically meaningful texts that we encounter everday is overlooked in theories of text, precisely because they are so present and passing. We would have to turn to the graphic designers who design store signs for an appreciation of their semiotics and we would have to consider that such texts are not alongside graphic elements, but one with their design. The structured and hierarchical ways of organizing texts as Platonic objects do not work for indexical texts where the approach is part of the meaning. The Dictionary, for all its problems, at least captures the approach or the perspective of the photographer approaching. Ultimately, as Wittgenstein pointed out about so many phenomena that philosophers try to nail down, we seem to be able to function just fine with multiple models and we even seem to know when to switch. Further, we enjoy the slippery areas poorly explained by either and inversions of treating books as performances and Today's Special as something to be catalogued. So I would way that in trying to apply a method rigourously, as we are forced by the computer, we run up against the limits of the model it hides thereby rethinking the theory.

There's no doubt that one's originary discipline has a profound effect on the way one views just about everything. And I think it runs even deeper than your examples suggest. It's not just that the historian, the logician, and the literary critic view things differently. I'm always struck, when talking with historians (for example), by the fact that we differ in *what* we think is interesting (about a given text or cultural phenomenon). I don't know that it's an impediment -- except that very often we can, at our extreme peril, start talking past one another. But I would like to know where "digital humanists" fit into this? You suggest that we do digital humanities differently depending on how we were trained, but do we do our "core discipline" differently for having been "trained" in digital humanities? Do we bring a particular, identifiable intellectual framework to the table in discussion with others outside our field?

The centerNet website is at http://www.digitalhumanities.org/centernet/. Below is a link to a 10-question survey, intended to establish the types of education and training carried out by centers, ultimately toward the identification of issues and areas that could see most ready and profitable address by a centerNet Education Working Group. The results will be of considerable value to the entire community, and will build on that already gathered by the centerNet taxonomy of centers. The survey is available at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=n86x463dy4v3r49rAKnB5w_3d_3d.

First on Geoffrey's, >--[1]------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:08:06 +0100 > From: Geoffrey Rockwell > > >.... > >Ultimately, as Wittgenstein pointed out about so many phenomena that >philosophers try to nail down, we seem to be able to function just >fine with multiple models and we even seem to know when to switch. >Further, we enjoy the slippery areas poorly explained by either and >inversions of treating books as performances and Today's Special as >something to be catalogued. So I would way that in trying to apply a >method rigourously, as we are forced by the computer, we run up >against the limits of the model it hides thereby rethinking the theory. There's a danger here that we succeed in breaking away from the sclerotic taking of philosophical positions, as if they were possessions, even egos, only to make ourselves into binary creatures, flip-flopping from one way of dealing with the world to another. Do we in fact switch? Or is this setting up of alternative states something we construct in order to simplify how we conceptualize our fluid swervings from one side of the road to the other? This is especially relevant to computing. Geoffrey says, "in trying to apply a method rigourously, as we are forced by the computer..."; I do know what he means and applaud the expression of modelling. But I wonder: how much of this sense of being forced is a function of the interface, specifically its temporal responsiveness? Being now in the midst of reading through the historical traces of literary computing, I've become acutely aware of the influence of the technology we have at any moment on how we think about computing itself. The old batch-orientated environment really did impose a binary way of thinking: you did the rigorous thing with the computer then responded to the results. (I recall waiting hours in the Really Bad Old Days.) But what happens to this way of thinking as response-time disappears beneath the threshold of perceptual reality? Second, on Steve's, >--[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:09:33 +0100 > From: Stephen Ramsay > Subject: Re: 22.077 strangers in a strange land > > > > The by now obvious observation is this: that how we see what we do in > > humanities computing appears very differently depending on how we've > > been trained -- a training that tends to be tacit and thus a hidden > > impediment to deeper discussion. > >There's no doubt that one's originary discipline has a profound effect >on the way one views just about everything. And I think it runs even >deeper than your examples suggest. It's not just that the historian, >the logician, and the literary critic view things differently. I'm >always struck, when talking with historians (for example), by the fact >that we differ in *what* we think is interesting (about a given text >or cultural phenomenon). I don't know that it's an impediment -- >except that very often we can, at our extreme peril, start talking >past one another. > >But I would like to know where "digital humanists" fit into this? You >suggest that we do digital humanities differently depending on how we >were trained, but do we do our "core discipline" differently for >having been "trained" in digital humanities? Do we bring a >particular, identifiable intellectual framework to the table in >discussion with others outside our field? This is a very fine question. My answer (which I very much hope provokes others) is based on my own experience of many years talking to people across the disciplines on their own research. The metaphor I keep returning to is the anthropological explorer on board his or her ship, who sails around in what I call "the archipelago of disciplines", visiting now this epistemic island culture, now that one, participant-observing, telling stories and learning them, trading goods, then sailing off. From this person's perspective, the intellectual framework Steve asks about is, I suppose, ethnographic, polymathic -- and courageous, to venture out in such a way in a world which treats such persons mostly as outlaws (in the etymological sense). It's hard not to think of big and small intellectual spaces. But I recall what Northrop Frye said, that it doesn't much matter where you begin as long as you begin within an intellectual structure which can expand into all others. 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: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 09:41:10 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Humanist's 21st birthday celebrations As members for whatever amount of time you will interested to know that Lisa Lena Opas-Hänninen and colleagues at the University of Oulu, Finland (Oulun Yliopisto), in an opening event for the Digital Humanities 2008 conference, honoured Humanist last night with a splendid dinner at Maikkula Manor, preceded by a traditional Finnish sauna. After the meal Lisa Lena read out an encomium from Michael Sperberg-McQueen, then in transit to the conference, and herself recollected events from the early days. A speech was demanded from the editor of Humanist, who obliged, but the fine qualities of the food and wine have obscured the memory of what exactly it was that he said. The event was, however, a potent reminder of how welcoming and appreciative the world-wide community of digital humanists is. If all that remains of this event is now a somewhat hazy memory, it is nevertheless a powerful encouragement to continue and to improve in the practice of the digital humanities. Improvement is, of course, mostly a matter for the coming generation. Twenty-one years of conversations, musings and exchanges of information on Humanist have shown what we can do when we imagine a community into being. And the very fact that the exchanges of words which are Humanist are almost as fleeting as last night's Gemütlichkeit, both real in the living moment, draws attention to what matters perhaps most of all. Thank you Lisa Lena, Michael and the most fortunate individuals able to be here last night. As for the rest of you, there's Digital Humanities 2009 at the University of Maryland -- and, we now know, Digital Humanities 2010 at King's College London!

Next week it will be absorbed into the main publications stream of ACM. "Ubiquity," of course, comes from the Latin word for "everywhere"- and stands in contrast to "Utopia," another word coined from the Latin (by St. Thomas More) meaning "nowhere." Unlike utopian pie-in-the-sky visions, Ubiquity has always tried to stay focused ambitiously on The-Future-As-We-Already-See-It-Happening. This "Future-Present-Tense" is happening right in front of our eyes, in an information-rich world of embedded computing, embedded information, and embedded knowledge - along with embedded tensions. When you get some time, go into the Ubiquity archives and refresh your memory of what we've done: for example, take a second look at my own interviews with leaders in information science and technology, or re-read the many provocative articles we've published on every topic under the sun. (There's that old Ubiquity theme again, rearing its ubiquitous head.) You'll be impressed. And I think you'll be just as impressed with this, our final issue.

The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the three areas of interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information. The ESSLLI 2009 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational, introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 21st annual Summer School in the broad interdisciplinary area connecting logic, linguistics, computer science and the cognitive sciences. The Summer School program is organized around the components. - Language and Computation - Language and Logic - Logic and Computation We also welcome proposals that do not exactly fit one of these there categories.

I suspect there are more than two theoretical models in any situation and that, in fact, we often tolerate a continuum of theories that overlap, contradict each other, supplement each other, get vague and are often not explicitly thought out past our nose. The danger philosophers warn of is relativism or pyrrhonian skepticism. Skeptics would say something like: "No model works, not even this model of models" Late Wittgenstein would say the problem is our desire to model - that philosophizing is a disease not a cure and we should get over it. The pyrrhonian would use the paradox of two models both of which are needed to explain the world to provoke us to be skeptical of theorizing. Personally I think the setting up of models and choosing of models is, when there are no clear and immediate needs, an ethical move. It is how you choose to live your life without certainty. And living without certainty seems to be one of the few certainties, but I'm not certain about that. When you cast the issue as ethical then you can avoid the "it doesn't matter because it is all relative" recourse of the lazy because even not choosing is a choice. Of course we have to make choices with insufficient evidence, include the choice to do nothing. How else to project get done, or not. To take a different approach I offer a longish quote from Ken Morrison's "Stabilizing the Text" CJS 12:3, 1987, p 245, > Beginning with the emergence of European scholasticism in the > twelfth and thirteenth centuries, scholarly exegesis began to be > based upon specific text principle converging on page layout as a > technical means of arranging words and ideas. Many of the > principles we see in our own texts, such as the imposition of a > chapter and paragraph structure, alphabetical indexing leading to > searchable texts and the deployment of running titles as a means of > marking off stages in an argument, have their origin in medieval > devices in which fixed patterns of textual designation began to > emerge as a means of facilitating presentation. The introduction of > a scholarly apparatus in the text, which arose in the light of new > methods of study and medieval learning, facilitated changes in the > structure of knowledge as it began to be subordinated to rational > principles of layout and design. With the acceptance of rational > order as a means of arranging texts and the "recognition that > different kinds of [order] were appropriate" for each of the > branches of knowledge, "the organization of the individual work > came under closer scrutiny [and] for the first time scholars > formulated a definition [of the text] which included the > disposition of material into books and chapters" (quoting Parkes, > 1976). (Thanks to Domenico Fiormonte for pointing me to this.) Morrison, if I understand him, argues that our model of the rational text has a history and is not in the text. How we approach Aristotle's works is due to the structuring of later scholastics. They imposed the codex model on writings that had previously been laid out following aesthetic considerations (lining letters up in columns). What model of the text were the Greeks of the fifth and fourth centuries BCE working with if not the rational model imposed later?

At the moment we observe a metamorphosis from the electronic library to an enhanced library meeting also the emerging demands of eScience and eLearning. Progress in technology, new concepts of knowledge networking, but also economic issues are the driving forces for upgrading the eLibrary, all of them opening up both a world of new opportunities and of new constraints for progressing enhanced scholarly information services. The International Bielefeld Conference 2009 provides insights in the future of eLibraries, based on the threefold interdependency of service, technology, and economics. The Bielefeld Conferences provide a forum for internationally renowned and trendsetting speakers to stimulate strategic discussions among scholars, information specialists, publishers, library managers and patrons from all over Europe and beyond. Among the speakers in 2009: __________ Mario Campolargo (European Commission, Information Society and Media DG) Wendy Pradt Lougee (University of Minnesota, University Librarian) Sijbolt J. Noorda (European University Association, Open Access Working Group) Herbert Van de Sompel (Los Alamos National Laboratory) Programmatic Topics __________ * Information- and eScience-Infrastructure * Library Services for eLearning * Novel Publishing Paradigms * Impacts of Web 2.0 for Library Services * Search Engines and Text-Mining * Metrics in Scholarship and Libraries * Cost Models for Scholarly Information * Enhanced Publications * Personalizing Library Services Programme Committee __________ Hans Geleijnse, Director of Library and IT-Services & Chief Information Officer, University of Tilburg Michael H=F6ppner, Director of Bielefeld University Library Wolfram Horstmann, Chief Information Officer Scholarly Information, Bielefeld University Library Norbert Lossau, Director of State and University Library, G=F6ttingen Ronald Milne, Director of Scholarship and Collections, The British Library Return-Path: Received: from fep13.clear.net.nz (fep13 [192.168.16.114]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0K3D005KRC8I6FX8@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:46:02 +1200 (NZST) Received: from mxin1-orange.clear.net.nz (lb2-srcnat.clear.net.nz [203.97.32.237]) by mx5.clear.net.nz (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0K3D004EGC86EP70@mx5.clear.net.nz> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:45:55 +1200 (NZST) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Received: from postoffice03.princeton.edu (HELO Princeton.EDU) ([128.112.131.174]) by mxin1-orange.clear.net.nz with ESMTP; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:45:54 +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 m627grw6018014; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:42:53 -0400 (EDT) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.0.6002.18463 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 m6244vxe014882; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:42:52 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 15.0) with spool id 20367182 for humanist@LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:31:00 -0400 Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice03.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.174]) by lists.Princeton.EDU (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m627TVGa009189 for ; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:29:31 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice03.Princeton.EDU [128.112.131.174]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m627TVGN006271 for ; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:29:31 -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 m627THfb006232 for ; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:29:24 -0400 (EDT) Received: from c.painless.aaisp.net.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emfw3.Princeton.EDU (Spam Firewall) with ESMTP id A8BCB13831E8 for ; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:29:17 -0400 (EDT) Received: from c.painless.aaisp.net.uk (c.painless.aaisp.net.uk [81.187.30.53]) by emfw3.Princeton.EDU with ESMTP id 7qfwwGtF1RAJdrA2 for ; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:29:17 -0400 (EDT) Received: from 205.81.2.81.in-addr.arpa ([81.2.81.205] helo=WOLF.kcl.ac.uk) by c.painless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1KDwmC-0001SL-Oh for humanist@princeton.edu; Wed, 02 Jul 2008 08:29:16 +0100 Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2008 08:29:10 +0100 From: "Humanist Discussion Group \(by way of Willard McCarty \)" Subject: 22.096 strangers in a strange land 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: <20080702072917.A8BCB13831E8@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: 1214983757-382703450000-M4gYpI X-Barracuda-URL: http://128.112.129.100:8000/cgi-bin/mark.cgi X-ASG-Orig-Subj: 22.096 strangers in a strange land X-Virus-Scanned: Clear (Version: ClamAV 0.93.1/7613/Wed Jul 2 04:19:29 2008, by smtp.aaisp.net.uk) X-Barracuda-Connect: c.painless.aaisp.net.uk[81.187.30.53] X-Barracuda-Start-Time: 1214983757 X-Barracuda-Virus-Scanned: by Barracuda Spam Firewall at Princeton.EDU 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=3.1.0-0805090000 definitions=main-0807010161 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. 22, No. 96.

(quoting Parkes, 1976). < snip > > How are our technologies of electronic text approaching a new model > and which technologies would we take a paradigmatic of electronic text? The Talmud has an interesting and very elaborate text layout. It is described at "The Talmud and its Shape" http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/rs/2/Judaism/talmud.html Comments by Rashi and the Tosafists (his sons-in-law and grandchildren) are written in so-called "Rashi script" even though Rashi never used that script. My own observation is that the cursive Rashi script existed prior to the standard Asheris meruba (Assyrian square) script in which the Mishna and Gemara are written because for those letters that have a different shape, the shape of the "Rashi" letters elicits the older sound. The aleph (ancient CHS/GHT-sound) and shin (ancient T-sound) are the most obvious examples.

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: Wed, 02 Jul 2008 08:27:24 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: falsification of process & its publication In their wonderful, indeed astonishing book, The Travels and Adventures of Serendipity: A Study in Sociological Semantics and the Sociology of Science (Princeton, 2004), Robert K Merton and Elinor Barber argue that academic writing tends to falsify retrospectively the actual processes by which results were obtained. Their focus is on the normal form of scientific writing, but their argument is apt for the digital humanities as well. Most of what they have to say on this topic is in a subsection of the book's Afterword entitled, "The Standard Scientific Article and Obliterated Scientific Serendipities (or SSA and OSS, as These Are Bound to Be Abbreviated in Our Age of Acronyms)", pp. 269-284. Those who know Merton's writings, e.g. from On the Shoulders of Giants, will recognize the serious playfulness and have some idea of how well the argument is conducted. A few years ago, after more years of fighting against the tendency of students to tell the story of what happened in their research rather than to construct an argument, I realised that they were partially right: the story of what happens when you work with computers *does* matter. The computer, I realised, puts the researcher in something like an experimental situation, and looking back on the history of experimental science I could see that keeping a careful record of what one thinks is happening often proves useful if not crucial. So I looked around for descriptions of how to write a scientific laboratory report, combined it with admonitions on how to write papers in the humanities and produced a little document entitled, "How to write an essay-report", which then went through revisions with the help of my colleagues here and is now distributed to our students. It has also informed our own marking criteria. (See http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/depts/cch/ug/courses/ for the document itself.) My question here is, has anyone else thought of these matters, esp about how involvement with computing is changing how we write? In a discussion at DH2008, just concluded (you should have been there), Marilyn Deegan, editor of Literary and Linguistic Computing, noted the importance of publishing conference papers especially for those who are deeply involved in humanities computing but do not have the opportunity or inclination to turn aside from the actual building of objects to devote significant time to writing. Often all they have the opportunity to do is to put together a conference paper or two in a year. That may develop into something more substantial, but lack of time and the pace of work may prevent further development. At the same time it is all too easy in some venues to toss off a conference paper, so perhaps a barrier to journal publication is no bad thing. Are we, perhaps, looking at the need for a clearer distinction between different publication streams? Comments?

At the moment we observe a metamorphosis from the electronic library to an enhanced library, meeting also the emerging demands of eScience and eLearning. Progress in technology, new concepts of knowledge networking, but also economic issues are the driving forces for upgrading the eLibrary, all of them opening up both a world of new opportunities and of new constraints for progressing enhanced scholarly information services. The International Bielefeld Conference 2009 provides insights in the future of eLibraries, based on the threefold interdependency of service, technology, and economics.

Stéfan Sinclair and I have been thinking about the integration of text analysis tools into the research process and trying to imagine tools that would travel with you as your research matures. This has led us down a path that John Bradley has been exploring - looking at how humanists do research from when a project is conceived to when it is written up. There seems to be little written about how we do research and what tools we use at different points, though two references are at hand: W. S. Brockman, L. Neumann, C. L. Palmer and T. J. Tidline. Scholarly Work in the Humanities and the Evolving Information Environment Digital Library Federation and Council on Library and Information Resources, 2001. [[http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub104/contents.html]] J. Bradley. Thinking Differently About Thinking: Pliny and Scholarship in the Humanities Digital Humanities 2007. University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign: 2007. [[http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dh2007/abstracts/xhtml.xq?id=124]] The approach Stéfan and I have taken is to pair up and try to do rapid research experiments. By pairing up one of us can do "the research" while one can document what we are doing. Pairing up has also forced us to talk through what we do. One conclusion we have come to is that most tools, as useful as they might be at one stage in the research cycle, don't travel well - it is hard to get results out of a text analysis tool and into an electronic paper the way you can get bibliographic references out of EndNote (or Zotero) and into your MS Word document. I wonder if we might be less inclined to tell the story of the research if we could easily exhibit right in an electronic issue of the research essay. For those interested you can see a short essay that tries to exhibit the tools used, "Now, Analyze That" at http://tada.mcmaster.ca/Main/NowAnalyzeThat The documentation for that experiment and related reflections are at, http://tada.mcmaster.ca/Main/ExperimentsInTextAnalysis Yours, Geoffrey Rockwell Return-Path: Received: from fep13.clear.net.nz (fep13 [192.168.16.114]) by local-daemon (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0K3F004UX72K7AK9@local-daemon> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 19:50:57 +1200 (NZST) Received: from mxin1-orange.clear.net.nz (lb2-srcnat.clear.net.nz [203.97.32.237]) by mx5.clear.net.nz (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id <0K3F00I5M74E7960@mx5.clear.net.nz> for ccreegan@clear.net.nz; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 19:50:38 +1200 (NZST) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Received: from postoffice06.princeton.edu (HELO Princeton.EDU) ([128.112.133.8]) by mxin1-orange.clear.net.nz with ESMTP; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 19:50:37 +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 m637nafK021939; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:49:37 -0400 (EDT) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.0.6002.18463 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 m62M8x7X003907; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:49:34 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 15.0) with spool id 20379215 for humanist@LISTS.PRINCETON.EDU; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:41:05 -0400 Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice05.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.189]) by lists.Princeton.EDU (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m637e78M029745 for ; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:40:07 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Princeton.EDU (postoffice05.Princeton.EDU [128.112.133.189]) by Princeton.EDU (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m637e7fq013001 for ; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:40:07 -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 m637e0jJ012423 for ; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:40:05 -0400 (EDT) Received: from a.painless.aaisp.net.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emfw2.Princeton.EDU (Spam Firewall) with ESMTP id E4A7517CA2C8 for ; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:39:59 -0400 (EDT) Received: from a.painless.aaisp.net.uk (a.painless.aaisp.net.uk [81.187.30.51]) by emfw2.Princeton.EDU with ESMTP id g0YIHWa052a7YpVJ for ; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:39:59 -0400 (EDT) Received: from 205.81.2.81.in-addr.arpa ([81.2.81.205] helo=WOLF.kcl.ac.uk) by a.painless.aaisp.net.uk with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1KEJQ6-00089S-AI for humanist@princeton.edu; Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:39:59 +0100 Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:39:50 +0100 From: "Humanist Discussion Group \(by way of Willard McCarty \)" Subject: 22.101 new on WWW: TL Infobits for June 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: <20080703073959.E4A7517CA2C8@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: 1215070799-4de1019b0000-M4gYpI X-Barracuda-URL: http://128.112.128.96:8000/cgi-bin/mark.cgi X-ASG-Orig-Subj: 22.101 new on WWW: TL Infobits for June X-Barracuda-Connect: a.painless.aaisp.net.uk[81.187.30.51] X-Barracuda-Start-Time: 1215070799 X-Barracuda-Virus-Scanned: by Barracuda Spam Firewall at Princeton.EDU X-Proofpoint-Spam-Details: rule=quarantine_notspam policy=quarantine score=0 spamscore=0 ipscore=0 phishscore=0 bulkscore=100 adultscore=0 classifier=spam adjust=0 reason=mlx engine=3.1.0-0805090000 definitions=main-0807030001 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. 22, No. 101.

Ten Higher Education IT Issues for 2008 Ten Reasons to Adopt IT Innovations Ten Web Technologies to Watch The Myth of Multitasking Papers from a Distance Learning Administration Conference Games and Learning Resources Recommended Reading ...................................................................... TEN HIGHER EDUCATION IT ISSUES FOR 2008 The EDUCAUSE Current Issues Committee has released the results of its ninth annual survey of information technology (IT) issues that concern higher education. The survey looks at IT in four areas: "(1) issues that are critical for strategic success; (2) issues that are expected to increase in significance; (3) issues that demand the greatest amount of the campus IT leader's time; and (4) issues that require the largest expenditures of human and fiscal resources." As for the previous five years, administrative/ERP information systems, funding IT, and security rank at the top of the list of college and university CIOs' concerns. This year, security is the number one concern, reflecting the number of data privacy breaches and threats some institutions have experienced. The survey results and related materials, including readings related to each of the ten issues, are available at http://www.educause.edu/2008IssuesResources/15516 EDUCAUSE is a nonprofit association whose mission is to advance higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology. The current membership comprises more than 1,900 colleges, universities, and educational organizations, including 200 corporations, with 15,000 active members. EDUCAUSE has offices in Boulder, CO, and Washington, DC. Learn more about EDUCAUSE at http://www.educause.edu/ ...................................................................... TEN REASONS TO ADOPT IT INNOVATIONS "College and university educators in general and . . . IT educators in particular have a unique set of personal values, motivators, organizational politics, and alliances that influence technology adoption decisions. Given the nature of their chosen field, most IT educators place value on creativity and learning. They have a wide range of external motivators but many are also self-motivators and risk-takers. But they also must function within the framework of their institution's philosophies, resources, and organizational, social, and political structure." While some of the reasons listed in "Ten Reasons for IT Educators to be Early Adopters of IT Innovations" (by Sharlett Gillard, Denice Bailey, and Ernest Nolan, JOURNAL OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION, vol. 7, 2008) sound humorous, the authors nevertheless take a serious approach to the question, "Why be an innovator or early adopter?" Some of the reasons include: The sun came up today. "There is probably nothing more predictable in the physical world in which we live than the sun rising and setting. In the professional world of information technology there is probably nothing more predictable than change itself. . . . The pace may be exhausting, and fighting a current may sometimes be necessary, but as a general, relatively predictable practice, just as the sun came up today, we should welcome change, embrace it, learn to manage it, and be among the first to integrate it into our professional world." You read the obituaries and your name was not listed. "A failure to adopt all innovations over an extended period of time . . . could be perceived as resisting rather than discerning or discriminating and lead to professional death." If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch. "In this 'dog eat dog' world, it is all about being out front: leadership. If you are not the lead dog, the view never changes and that alone is a very unpleasant thought. Reflecting on professional contacts, discussions, and feedback from conference sessions, it is the consensus of the authors that regardless of where we actually fit in the product adoption curve, most IT educators seemingly like to believe that they are relatively up-to-date in the use and application of information technology."

THE MYTH OF MULTITASKING "When we talk about multitasking, we are really talking about attention: the art of paying attention, the ability to shift our attention, and, more broadly, to exercise judgment about what objects are worthy of our attention. People who have achieved great things often credit for their success a finely honed skill for paying attention." In her essay "The Myth of Multitasking" (THE NEW ATLANTIS, no. 20, Spring 2008, pp. 105-10), Christine Rosen cites studies that provide evidence that multitasking may be influencing the way our brains work and the way we learn. But it may not be a good thing, resulting in people who exhibit "very quick but very shallow thinking."

PAPERS FROM A DISTANCE LEARNING ADMINISTRATION CONFERENCE The current issue of ONLINE JOURNAL OF DISTANCE LEARNING ADMINISTRATION (vol. 11, no. 2, Summer 2008) features papers from the Distance Learning Administration June 2008 conference. The issue is available at http://www.westga.edu/~distance/ojdla/ Papers include: "A Strategic Planning Process Model for Distance Education" by Kenneth P. Pisel "As more institutions seek to implement or expand distance learning programs, it becomes critical to integrate distance learning programs into broader strategic visions and plans. Using the informed opinion from a panel of peer-nominated experts via iterative Delphi questionnaires, a 10-phased strategic planning process model for distance education was developed." "It Takes a Virtual Community: Promoting Collaboration Through Student Activities" by Ludmila Battista, Carol Forrey, and Carolyn Stevenson "This paper [discusses] strategies for developing a sense of student community at a distance. Topics include: the role of professional and student organizations in building community; academic coaching and courses for at-risk students; community building through student websites; use of Second Life for promoting student leadership and collaborative activities." "Instructor's Privacy in Distance (Online) Teaching: Where Do You Draw the Line?" by Valerie Storey and Mary Tebes "As the number of online classes continues to grow, an increasing number of articles are being written about student and program integrity but there is a notable absence of articles or research focusing on the emerging issue of institutional integrity in relation to instructors. The ideology of New DEEL's (Democratic Ethical Educational Leadership) speaks to the ethical basis of online teaching and this paper delineates an authentic ethical dilemma for which a universalized and generalized ethical model is proposed to be usefully applied to all issues involving privacy of participants."

By Nicholas Carr ATLANTIC MONTHLY, July/August 2008 http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200807/google "For me, as for others, the Net is becoming a universal medium, the conduit for most of the information that flows through my eyes and ears and into my mind. The advantages of having immediate access to such an incredibly rich store of information are many, and they've been widely described and duly applauded. 'The perfect recall of silicon memory,' WIRED's Clive Thompson has written, 'can be an enormous boon to thinking.' But that boon comes at a price. As the media theorist Marshall McLuhan pointed out in the 1960s, media are not just passive channels of information. They supply the stuff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought. And what the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation. My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski." ......................................................................
