   Epistemic Networks and GRID + Web 2.0 for Arts and Humanities
       30-31 January 2008, Imperial College Internet Centre,
                      Imperial College London

Data driven Science has emerged as a new model which enables researchers 
to move from experimental, theoretical and computational distributed 
networks to a new paradigm for scientific discovery based on large scale 
GRID networks (NSF/JISC Digital Repositories Workshop, AZ 2007). 
Hundreds of thousands of new digital objects are placed in digital 
repositories and on the web everyday, supporting and enabling research 
processes not only in science, but in medicine, education, culture and 
government.  It is therefore important to build interoperable 
infra-structures and web-services that will allow for the exploration, 
data-mining, semantic integration and experimentation of arts and 
humanities resources on a large scale.  There is a growing consensus 
that GRID solutions alone are too heavy, and that coupling it with Web 
2.0 allows for the development of a more light-weight service oriented 
architecture (SOA) that can adapt readily to user needs by using on 
demand utility computing, such as morphological tools, mash-ups, surf 
clouds, annotation and automated workflows for composing multiple 
services.  The goal is not just to have fast access to digital resources 
in the arts and humanities, but to have the capacity to create new 
digital resources, interrogate data and form hypotheses about its 
meaning and wider context.  Clearly what needs to emerge is a 
mixed-model of GRID + Web 2.0 solutions for the arts and humanities 
which creates an epistemic network that supports a four step iterative 
process: (i) retrieval, (ii) contextualisation, (iii) narrative and 
hypothesis building, and (iv) creating contextualised digital resources 
in semantically integrated knowledge networks.  What is key here is not 
just managing new data, but the capacity to share, order, and create 
knowledge networks from existing resources in a semantically accessible 
form.

To create epistemic networks in the arts and humanities there are core 
technologies that must be developed.  The aim of this expert METHNET 
Workshop is to focus on developing a strategy for the implementation of 
these core technologies on an inter-national scale by bringing together 
GRID computing specialists with researchers from Classics, Literature 
and History who have been involved in the creation and use of electronic 
resources.  The core technologies we will focus on in this two day 
work-shop are: (i) infrastructure, (ii) named entity, identity and 
co-reference services, (iii) morphological services and parallel texts, 
(iv) epistemic networks and virtual research environments.  The idea is 
to bring together expertise from the UK, US, and European funded 
projects to agree upon a common strategy for the development of core 
infra-structure and web-services for the arts and humanities that will 
enable the use of GRID technologies for advanced research.
