Apologies for multiple postings
Dear friend of the HIT Centre,
We would like to inform you that the HIT Centre (Centre for Humanities
Information Technologies) at the University of Bergen has been split into
two research groups as of August 1st this year:
· The Research Group for Text Technology
· The Research Group for Language Technology
The Research Group for Text Technology comprises our activities and
projects connected with text encoding and editorial philology, of which the
Wittgenstein Archive and our participation in the Text Encoding Initiative
are the most important. The leader of the group is Associate Professor
<http://www.aksis.uib.no/people/?/$present&id=79>Daniel
Apollon<http://www.aksis.uib.no/people/?/$present&id=79>. Please feel free
to contact him for more information.
The Research Group for Language Technology comprises our activities related
to language technology, computational linguistics, corpus linguistics,
terminology and lexicography. Many of the projects in this group are run in
close collaboration with the Section for Linguistic Studies at the
University of Bergen. The activities connected with our participation in
ICAME (International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval English)
belong to this group as well. The leader of the group is Professor
<http://www.aksis.uib.no/people/?/$present&id=28>Gjert
<http://www.aksis.uib.no/people/?/$present&id=28>Kristoffersen, whom you
are most welcome to contact if you have further questions.
The two new groups are both immediate parts of
<http://www.aksis.uib.no/>Aksis<http://www.aksis.uib.no/>, which in its
turn is part of the research foundation UNIFOB AS, owned by the University
of Bergen. The two other research groups that belong to Aksis are The
Centre for Cultural Research (formerly The Centre for the Study of European
Civilization), led by Professor
<http://www.aksis.uib.no/people/?/$present&id=5>Siri
Meyer<http://www.aksis.uib.no/people/?/$present&id=5> and InterMedia
Bergen, led by Professor
<http://www.aksis.uib.no/people/?/$present&id=33>Barbara Wasson.
This means that the HIT Centre itself does not exist anymore, but most of
the former activities have been transferred to the two new research groups.
Yours sincerely
Gjert Kristoffersen
