=== DH-CASE II Workshop CFP

We invite submissions for DH-CASE II: Collaborative Annotations in Shared Environments:
metadata, tools and techniques in the Digital Humanities, to be held in conjunction
with the ACM Document Engineering 2014 conference.

== Focus of workshop

 From cuneiform tablets, ancient scrolls, and papyri, to contemporary letters, books,
and manuscripts, corpora of interest to humanities scholars span the world's cultures
and historic range. 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).

== 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

== Length and Format of Workshop

DH-CASE is a full day workshop. Authors of accepted papers will have time to
present their research/project, followed by a discussion of emerging themes,
best practices, and the potential for integration or collaboration. We will
summarize the workshop and discussion to the broader DocEng community during
the conference.

It is planned that proceedings will be published via the ACM International Conference
Proceedings Series. Workshop organizers will produce and submit a paper to "Digital
Humanities Quarterly" (www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/) summarizing topics that arise
in the workshop. We may consider a special issue on workshop topics or key findings
to an appropriate journal.

== Workshop Organization

The DH-CASE II workshop is organized by Patrick Schmitz, Dr. Laurie Pearce, and
Quinn Dombrowski (U.C. Berkeley). The workshop is sponsored by U.C. Berkeley Research IT.
