Neel Smith (Holy Cross): Scholarly reasoning and writing in an
automatically assembled and tested digital library
Friday August 2 at 16:30 in room G37, Senate House, Malet Street,
London, WC1E 7HU

ALL WELCOME
For more than 30 years, computer scientists have discussed “literate
programming,” an approach that treats computer programs as works of
literature, as well as sources for machine instructions. I propose an
approach to writing in the humanities that inverts that model, and
treats scholarly prose as a source for machine-actionable citations, as
well as a logical argument. I will draw illustrations from the Homer
Multitext project, and will briefly survey how all of the information in
its editorial work on Homeric manuscripts is translated into hundreds of
thousands of RDF statements with citable URNs as their subject.
The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
