From perkintj at miamioh.edu Mon May 12 12:28:07 2014 From: perkintj at miamioh.edu (Perkins, Jody) Date: Mon, 12 May 2014 12:28:07 -0400 Subject: [Sigah-l] DiRT tool directory seeks editorial board Message-ID: The DiRT directory , a longstanding, well-regarded source of information about tools available to support scholarship in the humanities, is soliciting applications for an editorial board, to ensure the coverage and accuracy of the directory's tool listings. DiRT editors will be expected to: - Add, edit, and review new tool listings - Periodically review existing tool listings, and update them as needed - Contribute to discussions about changes to DiRT's structure and features DiRT editors will be appointed to a voluntary two-year term, subject to renewal. The editorial board will meet virtually a minimum of twice a year, and will correspond as needed by email. The anticipated workload is 2-3 hours/month, and participants will be officially recognized on the DiRT site as ?DiRT Editors?. To apply, please send a statement of interest, including the type(s) of tool listings you're most interested in curating (e.g. geospatial, text mining, etc.), to quinnd at berkeley.edu by *May 23*. Librarians and academic support staff are encouraged to apply; applicants from outside the United States and western Europe are particularly welcome. Applicants will be notified by 5/30.

More and more documents are being transliterated, digitized, and made available for study with digital tools. Scholarship ranges from translation to interpretation, from syntactic analysis to multi-corpus synthesis of patterns and ideas. Underlying much of humanities scholarship is the activity of annotation. Annotation of the "aboutness" of documents and entities ranges from linguistic markup, to structural and semantic relations, to subjective commentary; annotation of "activity" around documents and entities includes scholarly workflows, analytic processes, and patterns of influence among a community of scholars. Sharable annotations and collaborative environments support scholarly discourse, facilitating traditional practices and enabling new ones. The focus of this workshop is on the tools and environments that support annotation, broadly defined, including modeling, authoring, analysis, publication and sharing. We will explore shared challenges and differing approaches, seeking to identify emerging best practices, as well as those approaches that may have potential for wider application or influence. == Call We invite contributions related to the intersection of theory, design, and implementation, emphasizing a "big-picture" view of architectural, modeling and integration approaches in digital humanities. Submissions are encouraged that discuss data and tool reuse, and that explore what the most successful levels are for reusing the products of a digital humanities project (complete systems? APIs? plugins/modules? data models?). Submissions discussing an individual project should focus on these larger questions, rather than primarily reporting on the project's activities. This workshop is a forum in which to consider the connections and influences between DH annotation tools and environments, and the tools and models used in other domains, that may provide new approaches to the challenges we face. It is also a locus for the discussion of emerging standards and practices such as OAC (Open Annotation Collaboration) and Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives, and Museums (LODLAM). See also: http://research-it.berkeley.edu/dhcase2014/cfp == Submission procedures Papers should be submitted at www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dhcase2014 . An abstract of up to 400 words must be submitted by June 1st, and the deadline for full papers (6 to 8 pages) is June 8, 2014. Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee and selected external reviewers. Papers must follow the ACM SIG Proceedings format. Up to three papers of exceptional quality/impact will be invited to submit an extended abstract (2-4 pages) for inclusion in the DocEng 2014 conference proceedings. == Key dates: June 1 Abstracts due (400 words max) June 8 Full workshop papers due June 30 Notification of acceptance to workshop. Up to 3 papers may be invited to submit extended abstracts Sept. 16 Workshop We look forward to seeing you in Ft. Collins!
