MODELLING HETEROGENEOUS DATA IN THE DIGITAL HUMANITIES
8- 9 October 2009, university of Hamburg, Germany
http://beta.teuchos.uni-hamburg.de/IT-Workshop
Over the last few years a lot of effort went into collecting digital
data relating to historical objects (manuscript digitisations, critical
editions, watermark collections), and into making these available to
specific scientific communities as well as to a broader public. Despite
targeted standardisation actions, one of the major problems encountered
was the heterogeneity of data to be modelled. This heterogeneity often
steers researchers to local solutions which, in the longer term, are an
obstacle to the integration of different repositories. Other prevalent
problems include the impossibility of applying OCR software to
hand-written texts and the difficulty of applying language technology
methods and tools that are usually developed with modern languages in mind.
The present workshop aims at discussing these problems and presenting
solutions, and at bringing together researchers from different areas of
the Digital Humanities.
We are looking for original contributions describing completed work in
one of the following areas:
- models for heterogeneous data in repositories
- semantic based information retrieval
- text technology for historical languages
- visualisation of heterogeneous data
- image processing for accessing textual data in manuscripts
- standards for data collection
- digital edition
- user scenarios
Submissions should exceed 10 A4 pages
