Was mich immer wieder mit Erstaunen erfüllt, ist die herablassende Verachtung mancher Kreise in den #DigitalHumanities für standardisierte Serialisierungen von Annotationslayern in z.B. TEI/XML oder JSON bei gleichzeitigem Vertrauen darin, dass LLMs ohne Probleme NER und Disambiguieren auf historischen Quellen durchführen können. Wie halten wir denn dann die Ergebnisse dieser Prozesse fest? Soll das jedes Mal ad hoc über eine flache Textdatei laufen? #Wot?!

Well, I can provide some unbaked ideas:

Data analysis starts with data literacy.
I need to know the "shape of data" and how it's captured/produced. And I need to know how to transform 'wild' data into structured data & how to work with them.
Those are the base on which the house of data analysis can be built.
(And as an aside: If the base isn't built properly, the whole house will collapse)

Been prodding the new `/magazine/title` endpoint that was added to #Trove API v3. It provides details on periodical titles and issues (other than newspapers). So it's very useful, but also very not...

Of the 2,504 titles, 1,538 point to sets of parliamentary papers. I suppose annual reports count as periodicals, but it would be good to be able to separate them out. In any case I've already got a full harvest of PPs.

Of the 966 left, 114 have no issues. That seems to be either because they're actually issues rather than titles, or they're just brokened.

Another 124 titles have incomplete lists of issues, either because some of the issues have no date, or they're just brokened.

So as with just about everything involving Trove data, I'll have to develop a series of workarounds to deal with the problems and inconsistences. This is my life now. #TroveDataGuide #GLAM #digitalHumanities

Are you interested in LIBRARIES and digital ownership rights?? YES.

Here's the audio and transcript of a recent panel I was in at the Copyright Society

#libraries #digitalhumanities #books #internetarchive #internet

https://velocityofcontentpodcast.com/transcripts/a-look-at-hachette-v-internet-archive/

from my remarks at the panel:

'I think if I could just give you one thing to take away, the Internet Archive is a library. It is the greatest library in the world. If they overstepped during the pandemic, I think that’s an argument that you could make. The National Emergency Library was overstepping. It wasn’t sort of true to the original principles, maybe, of controlled digital lending in certain ways. I think you could make the argument either way. But it’s important to remember they stood down the minute the lawsuit was filed. The publishers weren’t actually really interested in the National Emergency Library. The purpose of the lawsuit is to make it so that ebooks can be considered as a different class, a new class, of unownable property that can be licensed only, that you would never be able to buy. I think it’s very dangerous that books should ever, ever be in that position.'

Today, we at the National Archives have officially released an open base-model for handwriting recognition. It works best on Swedish manuscripts from about 1650 - 1900.

By basic model it is meant that it has two intended areas of use:
1. To HTR large amounts of images of handwritten text with good enough quality to index the text for search.
2. To function as a starting point for using own training data to create more specialized HTR models.

The entanglement of exploration and narration within data visualization has been an important research thread for our lab in the last few years.

@framoriniii and @nrchtct have prepared a provocation for this year's #VIS4DH workshop, on Monday 23 October at #ieeevis in Melbourne.

Full program here: https://vis4dh.dbvis.de/

Was ist Digital Humanities? Das ist die Frage, der ich mit den Studierenden der Uni Regensburg im Rahmen der Einführungsvorlesung des DH-Masterprogrammes heute nachgehe. Und genau das habe ich für diesen Post auch mal die bildgenerierende KI der Design-App Canva gefragt. Das Ergebnis ist gar nicht schlecht. Denn der Blick, den digitale Methoden auf geisteswissenschaftliche Inhalte eröffnen, zeigt oft historisch gewachsene Daten, divers in Gestaltung, Schreibweise und Bedeutung #DigitalHumanities

It’s official: #RuhrUniBochum is hiring an assistant professor for #DigitalHumanities and #ReligiousStudies (tenure track)! We’re looking for someone to strengthen #DH at #RUB and the study of religion at #CERES and especially in the context of @sfb1475. We’re totally aware that only few people work at the intersection of DH and Religion, so we’re open to anyone willing to contribute to this field in the future. https://jobs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/jobposting/8c4b276c0e75e597169c5082e2051ca7e51870120

Humanities faculty -- do you have graduate students who are interested in #podcasting and #DigitalStorytelling? Does your institution have funding to support them to attend a weeklong virtual institute that we run with the @natlhumanities? If the answer is yes to both, then share this opportunity with your colleagues and students!

Today's outfit isn't for any of my meetings, it's just me trying to live up to The Undergrad card drawn from the Academic #Tarot Deck when feeling down. It was originally for a talk on the sublime. Not feeling the #Makerspace pop-up on #Borders either tbh, so it's all manual crafts today. #DHsewing #DigitalHumanities

OpenAI is not so open these days, which is why articles like this are so very helpful and provocative. This one looks into the future from CEO Sam Altman and co’s points of view. There’s a lot to think about here—and most fascinating/unnerving is what the tech giants foresee as our immediate future. What are we becoming now? https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/09/sam-altman-openai-chatgpt-gpt-4/674764/ #AI #digitalhumanities No paywall link: https://archive.ph/KvR5N

. @seckenst und ich haben heute auf der #FORGE2023 unseren Vorschlag für eine offene, auf #Wikidata aufsetzende Tool Registry für die #DigitalHumanities vorgestellt. Der Vorschlag argumentiert, dass wir die Frage "was brauchen *wir*?" mit den Antworten auf die Frage "was haben *wir* zuhanden?" in Einklang bringen müssen, wenn wir die von @quinnanya als DiRT-Trap beschriebenen Fehler nicht wiederholen wollen.

Die Folien finden sich unter https://furesh.github.io/slides/2023-10-06-forge ,

We run a db which has entries on people. The initial spreadsheet had a "gender" field with "M" "F" or nil. The Director of the project wants more nuance, and has asked us to write a "controlled vocabulary for gender identity"

I'm wary of this: There's no way we can control that vocab, I feel uneasy assigning gender to people, and the vast majority of people would have no definitive source

The director says that having a gender field allows researchers to able to search "male" "female" "nonbinary", etc. people and compare

Does anyone have articles I can send to the director explaining the complexities of this matter? It would be especially useful if there are some from a librarian or archivist perspective. The director sent us information from the LOC, but those were for categorizing resources not entries for people

Today was the first meeting of the Stanford LitLab, and I thought I'd get into the spooky spirit in a dress of dead DH projects. Can't guarantee it's totally free of editorializing... #DHsewing #DigitalHumanities

I have a new article!

It’s about photostats, the copying technology that transformed how libraries circulate information and set the stage for microfilm, photocopy, and digitization. I ask how librarians came to define a good copy - and what that means for copies today.

DM for a copy.

Thanks to amazing editors @wynkenhimself and Jesse Erickson 📚

Busy abusing my organizational power today...

Me: Technically my job is to support digital humanities here, but that's really broadly defined.

New Friend: Digital humanities includes textiles?!

Me: Well, I've decided it does, and as the co-President of the US association for DH, I say it's legit.

🧵 2/ There are two lessons I recommend when starting w/ #NetworkAnalysis in a #DigitalHumanities context: https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/creating-network-diagrams-from-historical-sources by @martenduering and https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/exploring-and-analyzing-network-data-with-python by @scott_bot et al. They give a solid foundation in a language that is easy to understand & have step-by-step instructions one can follow nicely. Additionally, I recommend checking out the collection of useful materials on https://historicalnetworkresearch.org/ @HNR. And, as always, be bold! Try out things, test, fail, try again!
